One of the most fertile places in the world doesn't grow a fucking carrot!!!!!!!!!!Trump ignored them in a time of tragedy
3.8 Billion just to repair the electrical system is ignoring?
Puerto Rico grid 'teetering' despite $3.8 billion repair job
People were dying because they lacked medication, because they lacked clean water, lacked electricity
First thing Trump did was let them know there were limits on what he was willing to do, let them know they are on the clock
We are the wealthiest nation on earth. To allow 5000 Americans to die after the hurricane was over is a disgrace
First of all the 5000 number is an estimate based on some study. stop using it as a fact.
2nd, the limits applied to bailing out their debt, not the relief efforts being made. Billions has been spent providing aid. It's not the feds fault the existing infrastructure was shit, nor is it the feds fault the existing State emergency planning and organization was shit.
3rd, it seems the PR people don't want to try to figure out how to prevent this from happening again.
Hurricane Aid Has Eased Puerto Rico’s Finances. It May Not Be Enough.
Billions of dollars of disaster aid flowing into Puerto Rico since last fall’s devastating hurricane have boosted the bankrupt island’s finances, but the island’s federal overseers said Thursday that it would take still more austerity to translate those temporary gains into a lasting recovery.
At a meeting in San Juan of the territory’s federal oversight board, members called on Puerto Rico to reform its labor laws and fix its insolvent government pension system quickly, while it still had the benefit of both the disaster money and court protection from creditors under a special new bankruptcy law for United States territories.
The top Puerto Rican financial official at the meeting, Gerardo Portela, called the oversight board’s insistence on more cutbacks “inhumane,” coming so soon after a catastrophic natural disaster.
And Gov. Ricardo Rosselló, who has sought to avoid painful cuts to pensions and compensation, accused the board of overstepping the limits of its legal authority and said he did not intend to do its bidding.
“Our position has always been clear,” he said in a statement on Thursday. “Issues that are not in line with my government’s public policy will not be carried out. Period.”
Why? Because the PR Gov. is 100% corrupt socialist!One of the most fertile places in the world doesn't grow a fucking carrot!!!!!!!!!!Trump ignored them in a time of tragedy

Their own State's incompetence, and two hurricanes, but mostly two hurricanes.
I don't get why pussies like Jimbo put people on ignore. I just get free shots at his bullshit.
