It looks like Whole Foods is also trying a cashier-less system.
It's a difficult time to live in if you don't have a smart phone or internet access.

I didn't realize Seattle had that much economic growth in 2020.

It looks like the carcass was found, but be careful, as the nest has not been found.

まだ定かではないですが、ニュースで新たなコロナの追加支援が採決されたという記事をみたので、私の理解した範囲だけでも共有できればと思い、投稿しました。間違っているかもなのでその点ご理解ください。また、採決されたけれどもまだトランプ大統領が署名していないのと内容は変更になる可能性があるみたいなので、その点もご注意ください

・追加のStimulus Checkの給付（前回より額が減って大人1人$600.00みたいです。）
・追加の失業保険上乗せ（こちも前回より額が減って週$300.00の上乗せみたいです。）
・追加のPaycheck Protection Program（PPP）（詳細以下に書きます。）
・その他、家賃が支払えない人の立ち退きの延長や家賃援助も組み込まれてるみたいです。

追加のPaycheck Protection Program（PPP）については、1回目のPPPを申請できなかった企業や1回目にPPPを受取って使い果たし、さらなるPPPが必要な企業などが申請できるようです。基本的なルールや返済免除のルールは1回目のPPPと変わらないようですが、一部ホテル業などのホスピタリティ業については申請できる額が増えたり、一部変わっているところもありそうです。また、2度目の申請ができる条件として、従業員が300人以下でかつ売上が前年比25%以上減っている企業に限定されてるみたいです。

その他、EIDL Grantで1万ドルを受取りかつPPPローンも受け取った企業はもともとのルールだと1万ドルをPPPの返済免除手続きの際に返済しないといけなかったですが、どうもこのルールも変更になるみたいです。

あとはPPPローンを使い支払った経費をTax Returnの際に経費として計上できるようになったということも書いてありました。

恐らく来年1月頭には最終的なルールが決定されて、SBAのサイトなどでも情報が公開されると思いますが、先着順は変わらないと思うので、PPPローンが必要な方、ぜひ早めに準備してください。あとはCPAや弁護士の方が詳しい情報を持っていると思うので、正確な情報は各自ご確認ください。

I was out of Hawaii last year but will be returning soon.
I saw on the news that Hawaii is likely to be
very hot this year due to the Super El Nino. I saw on the news that
was last summer cool as usual ？?

It is quite comfortable compared to Japan.
It is not too humid and you will not get heat stroke like in Japan.
It is not too dry like the mainland and not humid like Japan.

It depends on where you live in Hawaii and what kind of building you live in, but
Even in May, the mornings and evenings are cool and comfortable.
In summer in Japan, you cannot go out without a handkerchief, but in Hawaii, you can go out without a handkerchief.

We are on a high floor in the Ala Moana/Ward area and it is so breezy and cold at night that I still sleep with the windows closed.
I have lived here for 8 years and not once have I needed an air conditioner or a fan.
The location of the house （ Is it a dense condo where you can see the whole neighborhood around you ） or is the room facing east or west （ I heard that on the west side, it is hot in the summer even after 9 pm due to the sunset sun ）, I think it depends on the floor of the room.

I used to live in Torrance a long time ago and there used to be a beauty parlor called Fathalia in Hawthone bld. I wonder if they are still in business today. ？ The owner of the salon and I were good friends, but when I sent a message to his old email address, I couldn't reach him because the provider itself is no longer in business. I tried to call FASARIA, but the automated voice mail was not working at all. Please let me know if you know whether FASARIA is working or not. Please let me know ！

Maybe it's because it's spring, but it seems like there are a lot of stores opening and closing these days. I want to know what kind of stores will open in my hometown, and I want to go and say thank you to my favorite stores before they close ！
Let's share the information you have here!

https://www.visualcapitalist.com/the-income-needed-to-be-middle-class-in-every-u-s-state-2025/
Hawaii is tied for 4th with California.
It has $191,000 in the middle class and $64,000 in the lower income bracket.
You can imagine that Hawaii has a tremendous higher income class than New York.

＃ To 2anon
＞ Middle (中間) means Average.

I know you don't understand what Topi means at all, because you don't understand Middle and Average either.
I guess he also doesn't understand that the median is not the mean,
it's just a data graph of the middle class in 2025,
he doesn't understand even if I kindly calculate and tell him the median,
he doesn't understand anymore, so I think it's okay to ignore him.

I'm surprised Massachusetts is #1.
It's amazing that you have to make over $200,000 to be upper class ！ ！.

Annual middle class income in Hawaii in 2025 depends on several studies and definitions.
Here are data from several sources.

SmartAsset (survey for 2025):

Annual Income Range: approx $ 63,542 ～ $ 190,644
Visual Capitalist (based on SmartAsset data )}:

Annual Income Range: $ 63,542 ～ $ 190,644
Newsweek (based on SmartAsset data):

Annual Income Range: $ 63,542 $ 190,644
These studies define the middle class range as "two-thirds to twice the state median household income."
Given Hawaii's high cost of living, the middle class income range is also high.

I had a $250,000 annual income when I lived in NY and never felt like a high income earner.
Now I've lived in Hawaii for 10 years and only make $150,000 a year, but it's a lot easier there.

What I think makes the difference is that property taxes and HOAs are incredibly cheap in Hawaii.

Ten years ago in NY, we paid $25,000/year in property taxes and $2,400/month in HOA fees (not including electricity, gas, and telecom ）.
Monthly payment of approximately $4,500

Currently in Hawaii, annual property tax of $1,200 and HOA Fee of $1,400 per month(Electricity、Gas、Communications included ）.
Monthly payment of $1,500

Taxes and HOA can go up but not down, so this is a big difference.

New Jersey and Massachusetts seem to be in the same building
I used to live in NJ and the cost of living was definitely cheaper.

Property Taxes are not as high as in some places where school taxes are tens of thousands of dollars at the school district level,
Gasoline was cheaper, groceries (except luxury items ） Clothing and shoes are tax free and NJ was easy to live in.
NJ has different sales tax rates for different counties, so I sometimes went to the city with the lowest sales tax to buy electrical appliances.

NYC has a city tax, so many people lived in NJ and commuted to NYC.

NJ was nice,,

#17 Dear New Jersey

Since school taxes make up a large percentage of property taxes,
Hawaii may be best taxed without school taxes.

Kakaako has a large percentage of out-of-state residents, so the legislature is considering whether to introduce a school tax.
