Aloha, People think Hawaii is small place where everyone lives in Hut. But Hawaii GDP is at 38th out of 50 US states, and its economy size is comparable to Syria, Ukraine, Slovak, Morocco, Kuwait, and Hungary. Lots of people, lots of money spent here.
Anyway, I work for this company, and we are ENR rated between 200~300, large construction company. We annually do about $300mil worth of the work including Federal, State, County, and also for private clients across pacific region. Company website is done on our IT team's spare time, which is almost non-existent. Hopefully that changes soon. Only fraction of the project made it to company website... Hawaii is made of 7 major islands and most of our work is done on Oahu, where state capital is located along with about a million population. It’s quite a city. So we really don't have issue with Lava. Only place with Lava issue is on big island and it's really small portion of it. Issue is quite over magnified by the media, please take a look at the link below to give some idea of what's really going on. https://www.reddit.com/r/funny/comments/8lr4zb/perspective_what_people_think_the_hawaii_lava/ Big donations, yes, it's possible because this company is solely owned by one person, so owner doesn't need approval from bunch of shareholder or board of people to spend the money. He can do what he likes! He came from poor family and still have moderate lifestyle, dress like average Joe, drives his old truck. He donates a lot of money to good cause especially outside of US where there are more needs. If you have any question, don't hesitate to ask. I will be happy to answer what I know.
