Hiki iā ʻoe ke loaʻa kālā mai nā pāʻani pūnaewele me ka ʻole o ka piliwaiwai
ʻO ka pāʻani ʻana i nā pāʻani e like me ʻAmelika e like me … (makemake wau e ʻōlelo i ka pai ʻāpala, akā hoʻomanaʻo wau ua ʻōlelo mai kaʻu kumu ʻōlelo haole iaʻu e noho mamao aku i nā cliches ke kākau nei). E ʻōlelo wale ʻoe he pāʻani ka nui o nā ʻAmelika, nā ʻōpio a me nā ʻelemakule. Nui ka nui o lākou e ʻeleu nei i ka pāʻani kamepiula ma ka pūnaewele. A, ke ulu nei ko lākou helu.
Inā paha ʻoe i ka pāʻani pūnaewele a ʻaʻole paha, ua lohe paha ʻoe i ka lilo ʻana o ka pāʻani pūnaewele. Ma kahi kokoke i ka hapalua o nā ʻohana ʻAmelika i loaʻa ai kekahi ʻano o ke komo pūnaewele (kahi hapa nui me nā pilina wikiwiki). ʻO ka ulu ulu ʻana o ka broadband i hopena i ka hoʻonui pinepine ʻana e ka poʻe hoʻolako i nā ʻike e hāʻawi i nā wikiō a me nā pāʻani pūnaewele. Inā he keiki ʻōpio kāu, ua ʻike ʻoe i ka lima mua pehea e hoʻonui ai ka pūnaewele. Akā ua ʻike ʻoe i kahi pākēneka nui loa o nā mākua ʻAmelika e pāʻani i nā pāʻani kamepiula a me nā wikiō ma ka pūnaewele? ʻAʻole pāʻani wale nā mākua ma ka pūnaewele, akā ʻo nā mea pāʻani e pāʻani ana i ka awelika o 12 mau makahiki.
ʻO ia no ka mea ʻaʻole nui ka liʻiliʻi o ka poʻe e pāʻani nei i nā pāʻani ma ka pūnaewele. I ka ʻoiaʻiʻo, i kēia manawa he hiki ke lanakila i ke kālā e pāʻani ana i nā pāʻani ma ka pūnaewele, ke piʻi nei ka nui o ka poʻe e pāʻani nei. Ua pahū ka pāʻani kālā pūnaewele a hiki i ka lilo ʻana i kānāwai ʻole ma ʻAmelika, akā ʻo kaʻu kuhikuhi ʻana i ka lanakila ʻana o ke kālā e pāʻani ana i nā pāʻani ma ka pūnaewele ʻaʻole ia e pili pū ana i ka piliwaiwai (ʻoi aku ma kēlā ma hope) Kanalimakūmākolu pākēneka o nā pāʻani e manaʻo nei nā mea pāʻani e pāʻani ana he 10 a ʻoi paha mau makahiki mai kēia manawa, a ke hoʻomaka nei nā ‘newbies’ e pāʻani i nā helu he nui i kēlā me kēia lā.
ʻIke koke wau i kahi noiʻi e ʻōlelo ana ʻo ka mahele ulu nui o ka pūnaewele ka wahine. He aha ke ʻano o kēia no ka pāʻani pūnaewele ʻana? He kanakolukumamāwalu pākēneka o nā mea pāʻani pāʻani he wahine. Inā ʻoi aku ka nui o nā wahine e hele pūnaewele ʻana ma mua o nā kāne, hiki i ka manaʻo ke piʻi aʻe ka wahine ma nā pūnaewele pāʻani pūnaewele. E like me kaʻu i ʻōlelo ai ma mua, hiki iā ʻoe ke lanakila i ke pāʻani kālā ʻana i nā pāʻani ma ka pūnaewele. ʻAʻohe hōʻino, akā ʻaʻole wau ʻike i kekahi wahine makemake ʻole i ke kālā. Manaʻo wau he palekana ia e ʻōlelo ai e kōkua ka nui o nā wahine wahine ma ka pūnaewele e hoʻonui i kona kaulana. I kēia lā, hoʻonui ka manawa o nā kāne i ka pāʻani ʻana i nā pāʻani i nā wahine, akā e mau ana ka hakahaka a hiki i ka wā e neʻe ai nā wahine i mua i ka pāʻani ʻana i nā pāʻani pūnaewele.
Eia hou, e ʻae iaʻu e kuhikuhi i ke kānāwai kūpono ʻole e pāʻani ma ka pūnaewele ma USA. Kuhi wau i mea i manaʻo ʻole ai kekahi e kamaʻilio kūkākūkā wau ma ka punaewele. Aʻole! Ua hoʻoikaika wau e kaʻana like i kēia mau manaʻo no ka mea ua ʻike wau i kahi ala e loaʻa kālā ai ma ka pūnaewele mai ka pāʻani pūnaewele me ka ʻole o ka piliwaiwai
