Love this piece Kyle! But I have a few things to say about your suggestions: we are colonized. So the trade we could be having with other nearby countries is limited by our colonizer. Exporting off-island is costly bc of our colonizer. Our high cost of living is bc of our status.https://twitter.com/PostGuam/status/1283850152080547841 …

@dahiligkyle I hope you continue to see our opportunities and advocate for our self-sustainability! While also keeping in mind that your transformative ideas would be hard to accomplish without decolonization as a part of the advocacy. I know you mean well and have that fire.2 replies 0 retweets 5 likesShow this thread -

Thanks so much for your feedback; I agree that our current political status inhibits many hopeful realities, however, the intent of the piece was to ignite a subtle thought of ‘a freer Guam’ with the generel public without ostracizing others who fear the term “decolonization.”

I totally get you there. I'm working on a podcast episode now actually about it! I'm not going to make it seem like its an easy or light topic: it isn't, but if you recognize it, you begin to see how it has seeped into every crevice of our existence. It can be done though.

Also if that is your intent: bravo. Great job, can't wait to read more! I didn't want to comment on the original and make it seem like I wasn't supportive, I am 100% supportive of us being more sustainable. It's just...difficult. Doesn't have to be, but it is. I'm hopeful though!
