I can’t speak for Hawai’i in particular, but from my experiences in tropical Polynesia, even if taro and kumara take work, pumpkins can just grow and grow like weeds. Add coconuts, bananas, plantains, breadfruit, other fruits, rice and beans, and pigs and chicken, and Hawai’i would presumably be better off than elsewhere in the US. Granted, that they has a larger more modernised population than most of the rest of the Pacific and won’t just be able to fall back to subsistence like say, Samoa.

As for down here in Dunedin… Potatoes! Grow like weeds and love our cool damp climate. I am also volunteering at the community garden every when I can, and Dunedin’s climate can be incredibly productive with some work. Potatoes barely even need that work though.

G’day Keoni.
Yes, this world is fallen and the prinicples of this world are evil. Perhaps I’m being merciful, but the current leadership of your nation (and the left over here) impress me as incompetent. They used to be competent and evil, now they are stupid.

I agree with you that a certain nation with 50 stars should be pleading with the Almighty for a soft landing like Argentina. I disagree with Alte, who thinks that is what will happen: I think the second the EBIT cards are turned off and stay off the large cities in the USA (most of whom cannot feed themselves and rely on the ‘flyover country’ for their calories will become death traps, suburbs included.

I am not sure about Hawai’i — the big island has some agriculture, but sufficient for the population? And growing Kumara and Taro requires a fair amount of physical work.

Kia Kaha.

Chris.

Heh. For a devout Christian that is constantly quoting the Bible, have you not yet grokked what the Good book has already told us? This world is Satan’s domain, and the Bible is the greatest expose of Conspiracy in human history?

Thanks for the linkage, Chris.

What can you do? Well, I made a move to live in Dunedin some years ago
to in part find a safe sustainable town that would be safe for my boys.
At some personal cost. I don’t have gold: NZ state debt is well under
50% of the GDP and we are (currently) paying our way. If the cactus gets
thrown through the dunny, NZ will feed itself.

Good for you. As much as I preach the doom and gloom, I’m nowhere near as prepared as I’d like to be.

Aroha no, Pakeha! 😉
