"How could paradise feel so bad?" That's a good question. It could be asked in a lot of places, including parts of the US. I wonder if government stepping aside and letting people free of regulation and taxes would help the situation there and in other, otherwise, beautiful places?
It's a good possibility. I was talking with one of the locals there about the economy. He explained to me that the minimum wage is $4.10 and that a gallon of gas is about 6 dollars, a studio apartment is 600 a month and a gallon of milk is 5 dollars. Shy of tourism the only other market is drugs. It's a shame
