Finally Some Good News Out of Maui: The Widespread Hellish Devastation Hasn't Ruined Paris Hilton's Beach Vacation

Like all of us, the famous and celebrated need a break once in a while. To get away from it all. Decompress from all the stress of the workaday world. Even the ones who are famous despite having no identifiable skill. They too to off the grid. Just being present. Living in the moment. Soaking in all the beauty of our natural world. And there's no reason to let a little thing like the island they're on being turned into a desolate hellscape of death, destruction, devastation and ruination get in the way of a good time:
Source - Socialite Paris Hilton was spotted on Saturday soaking up the sun and frolicking on a Maui beach with her husband, Carter Reum, and their son, despite the raging wildfires that are currently plaguing the island.
Hilton, 42, was reportedly staying at a resort in Wailea, which is only 30 miles from the town of Lahaina where the devasting flames are raging. …
The Post reached out to Hilton for comment.
On Wednesday, the Hawaii Tourism Authority pleaded with tourists to vacate the island after 96 people had been confirmed dead due to the rapidly spreading fire.
“Visitors who are on non-essential travel are being asked to leave Maui, and non-essential travel to Maui is strongly discouraged at this time,” wrote the agency. “In the days and weeks ahead, our collective resources and attention must be focused on the recovery of residents and communities that were forced to evacuate their homes and businesses.” …
“Aquaman” actor Jason Momoa told tourists to stay away from the Hawaiian island.
With all due respect to the Hawaiian Tourism Authority and Jason Momoa, your idea of "non-essential travel" and "needed" presence are different than the rest of ours. Do you think a Maui vacation is optional for a vapid, tedious, hotel heiress who's famous for being famous? Paris Hilton's life is a non-stop grind of tedium and overwork. She needs to get on Island Time and keep it there. Your triple-digit death toll and quadruple-digit missing persons list will just have to until she and Carter Reum have had their fill of Mahi Mahi and poi. You can clean up the rubble and recover the remains of the dead on your time, they'll enjoy Mai Tais by the pool on theirs. That's how tourism works. Just try to keep the noise down while you do. Those naps on the lanai aren't easy to come by while the world around you is in flames.
Paris and Carter will get sick of Maui soon enough and leave you to deal with your little horrific, widespread catastrophe. Until then, they are not to be disturbed.
