As the conversation is open for concepts, here are a few to also consider:
1. Buy/sell goods and products only made in Hawaii. We would need to transition to this end state but it would create lots of jobs over time with a lot of other benefits
2. Hawaii residents could stop selling concepts/product rights to China or other countries where the products are made cheaper. Continue to make items in Hawaii
3. Instead of providing welfare without reciprocation, provide it for community service hours where possible
4. City/County/State could lead volunteer projects to organize the above community service which would enable all to meaningfully contribute. The Project Management Institute (PMI) Honolulu Chapter would be of great value in this regard
5. Perhaps provide this 'unconditional sum of money' after a resident has contributed in some agreed upon, meaningful way

Just some thoughts. Look forward to comments.
