    Our panel discusses the threats we have seen and heard, the violence in and threatened by the insurrection, the gun control, massacre and militia issues, and the American history and fascination with violence over the years.

  • A GET Exemption for Food and Medicine (Talking Tax)

    Figuring Out who Benefits.  The hosts for this show are Jay Fidell and Tom Yamachika.  


    There has been a lot of talk these days about possibly adding a General Excise Tax (GET) exemption for food and medicine.  The three Democratic candidates for governor all support it, as Hawaii News Now reported.  The argument that most people make is that the GET, which applies to most purchases of things including food, is regressive.  Thus, it falls more heavily on those less able to make ends meet.

    But, as Director of Taxation Isaac Choy pointed out, it doesn’t necessarily follow that the tax burden falls more heavily on the poor because of existing exemptions and tax credits.  He reasons that these new proposed exemptions would primarily benefit wealthier folks and tourists.

  • Similar Skyscraping Seashore Skylines Vol 3 (Humane Architecture)

    Chicago and Honolulu, the Uneven Pair.  The hosts for this show are Martin Despang and DeSoto Brown.  


    Previous 'human[e] architecture' investigations have identified that Honolulu’s skyscraping skyline borrows much from Chicago, from architectural articulation to authorship. Both cities fronting water, this series of episodes investigates the most recent development in Chicago and their relation to and relevance for Honolulu. DOM Publisher’s 'Chicago Architectural Guide' gives orientation and inspiration for Martin Despang’s scavenger hunt in Chicago in May 2022. It refreshes previous impressions and eye witnessing memories of DeSoto Brown and Martin Despang from combined from the 60’s, 80’s, 90’s and 2000’s. The show is making the viewers recollect, update or initiate their substantiated image of Honolulu’s fellow Windy City as to what to learn from and what not to.
