>I don't think I've ever been somewhere where the locals were as suspicious of tourists. The pandemic gutted their economy so the feeling of hopelessness hung around even relatively remote places we visited along the Road to Hana.

I went to Maui last year for the first time. I've visited Kauai in my teens (we had family who lived there) this was the vibe then that they described -- tourists are generally not accepted, esp at the local surf spots. I actually found Maui more welcoming.

Once they did away with their iconic branding I couldn't find their beer in stores in the East Bay -- and when I noticed it I didn't recognize it. California Lager was one of my favorite beers. RIP old friend.

Try an early stage startup? Might be some super lean process in place -- maybe very light scrum, not even. Usually it's just "do this thing" -> ship it -> on to the next thing that sticks.

Read the article...

"The company was found responsible for 17 of the 21 major fires that blazed across California in 2017 alone. It was responsible for the deadliest fire in California history last year, the Camp Fire, where 86 people were found dead and more than 50,000 were displaced."
