Hou ʻia aku nei kekahi mau limahana ʻelua o ka hale ʻaina ʻo Wendy’s ma Nānākuli i ke kakahiaka o ka Lāpule nei. Lawe ʻia akula lāua i ka Haukapila ʻo ka Mōʻīwahine, a ma laila i make ai kekahi. A ʻo kekahi, ua lapaʻau ʻia a hoʻokuʻu ʻia akula. Ua paʻa ka mea nāna i hou aku iā lāua i ka hopu ʻia e ka mākaʻi. I hopu ʻia ʻo ia no ka hoʻāʻo pepehi kanaka ma ke kekelē ʻekahi a me ʻelua a no ka pepehi kanaka ma ke kekelē ʻelua. He 60 makahiki o ua kanaka lā.

A ma hope iki mai, puka akula nā limahana ʻelua i waho a hahai aku nō ka ʻelemakule. E hoʻomau ʻia ana nō ka hoʻopaʻapaʻa ʻana, a kuʻi akula ka limahana wahapaʻa i ka ʻelemakule, a ʻo ia ka wā a ka ʻelemakule i hou aku ai iā ia. Hoʻāʻo ka lua o ka limahana e ʻākeʻakeʻa aku, a ʻo ia kona wā i hou ʻia ai i ka pahi. ʻO ka limahana i hou mua ʻia, ʻo ia ka mea i make.
Ua hoʻokaʻawale ʻia akula he $30 miliona no kahi polokalamu hou o Hawaiʻi nei, kahi e hoʻokaʻa ʻia iho ai nā ʻaiʻē haumāna no nā limahana ma ka ʻoihana mālama ola kino.

I kēia manawa, he 1,328 mau moho e kali ana ʻo ka ʻāpono ʻia o kā lākou mau noi. ʻO kekahi koina o ka polokalamu, ʻo ia ko lākou hana ʻana ma ia ʻoihana ma Hawaiʻi nei he ʻelua makahiki, a he 30% o kā lākou mau mea e lapaʻau ai, aia ma ka ʻinikua Medicare a Medicaid paha. Na ke Kiaʻāina Josh Green i noi i ka ʻAha ʻŌlelo Kau Kānāwai i ke kālā no ia polokalamu he ʻelua makahiki aku nei. A he manaʻo kona e noi hou he $30 miliona ke hoʻomaka hou ke kau ʻaha ʻōlelo.
Eia mai kā kākou ʻōlelo noʻeau,
Kāpae aʻe nō i kulakula.
ʻO ia hoʻi, e hoʻopoina aku.
