Ummm...odd isn't it that the OP's author didn't whine about the money, commodities and teams of first responders sent to Texas and Florida. He also didn't post a thread pissing and moaning about the taxpayer money which has been used by the Trump Administration for boondoggles.
I didn't "whine" a year ago when I wrote that OP and I ain't "whining" now, shitbag. Since I know you're a scumbag liar, I owe you no further explanation. Most of the Gulf Coast was repaired by private insurance companies with FEMA loan guarantees and volunteers helping their neighbors. America ain't Puerto Rico...they belong to us,...kinda like a puppy who continues to piss on the sofa and eat shoes well into it's adult years. I've already said what measures I'd take...have somebody find them for you if you have any friends here, which I doubt.
Is Congo a shitty place? You know it is, but you are going to bend over backwards to avoid admitting it.What difference would that make?Much better than I feel about shitty fucking Puerto Rico.How do u feel about aid to Florida and Texas?

Lots, when you call one a shitty fucking place and have never been there, it is clear you are a member of the right wing echo chamber, and thus have zero credibility.

When are you Leftists wake up to the pure corrution of the authorities in Puerto Rico?
Thousands of cases of bottled water just sitting on a runway at Cieba. Just sitting there!
The CBS piece is careful not to lay the blame on local authorities. But, who else is there to blame?
Story w/video @ Possibly millions of water bottles meant for Hurricane Maria victims left on tarmac in Puerto Rico
How do u feel about aid to Florida and Texas?
Why should the goverment do anything more than emegecy services in a natural disaster. People who live in areas prone
to disasters should be prepared for recovery from disaster conditions.
This may be true. But some states are more prone to natural disasters than others, and the Federal Government is charged in the vision statement (Preamble to COTUS) to provide for the general Welfare, for We the People.
Most natural disasters - earthquakes, hurricanes, tornadoes, and flooding can be mitigated if we prepare for them. It's all a matter of budgeting and setting priorities, which begins and ends with the Federal Budget and the Congress.
Austerity and fiscal conservatism ignores what can be expected. Every year tornadoes destroy homes and businesses and lives in Tornado Alley, most years a powerful hurricane devastates the gulf coast or east cost; forest fires become conflagrations in the west when drought kills trees, which become kindling, and extreme Noreasters damage New England states with ice storms and snow drifts.
"Last year's devastating floods and fires in California combined with hurricanes and other natural disasters to wreak unprecedented financial damage on the United States, the federal government reported Monday.
"The nation endured 16 weather and climate events that inflicted $1 billion or more apiece in damage in 2017, tying 2011 for the most 10-digit calamities in a year and setting an annual total-cost record of $306 billion, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. The natural disasters resulted in 362 deaths."
Natural Disasters Cost U.S. an Unprecedented $306 Billion Last Year
And yet,
Department of Homeland Security Says Transferring $10 Million From FEMA Funds Won't Harm Hurricane Relief
along with this bit of information we have Congress which does nothing but offer prayers to those who suffer from their inaction.

You mean use regulations and environmental restrictions to mitigate damages ?
Republicans vote against all those .

I'm not convinced, Timmy.
They pay taxes. The factories pay taxes, the farmers pay taxes, the hoteliers pay taxes and the Puerto Rican's, who are American citizens, pay taxes.And that shows how little you understand. Have you ever been to Puerto Rico? I lived there for 18 months. The amount of manufacturing, pharmaceutical plants and agriculture there is staggering. Tourism, high tech and our military community there adds millions, if not billions to our economy.
So how much do they pay in taxes to the U.S.?
To the U.S.?
Of course.
Q.How much do red states pay to the US, and how much do they take in return?
A. If you look only at the first measure—how much the federal government spends per person in each state compared with the amount its citizens pay in federal income taxes—other states stand out, particularly South Carolina: The Palmetto State receives $7.87 back from Washington for every $1 its citizens pay in federal tax. This bar chart, made from WalletHub's data, reveals the sharp discrepancies among states on that measure.

I've never been to Africa, so I can't answer your question. Though I've not met you, I've developed the sense that you are an elitist who has no love or respect for minorities.

Better check yourself before you wreck yourself!
Puerto Ricans do not pay federal income tax on income they earn in Puerto Rico.
Why can't we all have that special privilege?
