Now that disaster has struck, he wants the USA to assist Puerto Rico in recognition of the fact that it is an American territory.
Luis Gutierrez was and is a world class hypocrite.
Trump’s fault.
;-)
Ecclesiastes 10:2 A wise man’s heart inclines him to the right, but a fool’s heart to the left.
It is an “already seriously deficient electrical grid” because the Puerto Ricans pocketed the money that was supposed to be spent upgrading it.
OK, in unison now, lets all sing it:
“Katrina Katrina Katrina! Trump isn’t doing anything!”
That’s all this breathless hysteria is about: trying to advance a meme.
A surprisingly well-balanced opening statement.
That's because white people have all the power and the peoples of color have none! Oh, the oppression!
Shows how much they care about their people...send people like McCain, Clinton, Obama, Guitierrez there to clean up the mess, maybe the Clintons will find some more ‘child trafficking’ to do:
PR is a fantastic opportunity (natural & predictable cause notwithstanding) to implement a modern power infrastructure, and be a make-or-break case study for solar power. The island receives optimal sunlight, is of limited size (~300 mile perimeter), and faces “from square one” infrastructure costs which solar can overlap instead of append. Going solar (largely via private roofs) would seriously reduce reliance on remote fuel sources, be robust (tolerate localized damage), and yes lack of local pollutants is a good thing.
I know many on FR hate solar power with seething vitriol, fearing it is the work of Agenda 21 global-depopulation types. Some of us _do_ like it, and from a staunchly conservative angle preferring capitalism-driven high-tech self-sufficiency.
And no, night & clouds isn’t instantly debilitating: rechargeable batteries are a thing. Consecutive/continuous cloudy days there are a rarity.
Bonus: installing solar as a home-distributed system helps undermine political corruption by de-centralizing critical infrastructure. Cronies can’t manipulate the power grid when there isn’t isolated sources; letting each home _sell_ power to the load-balancing grid empowers individuals.
Mr. Trump, you would do well to keep the corrupt from interfering with Mr. Musk’s installation of proven systems.
To quote John Galt: “get the he11 out of my way!”
No doubt it was the best system in the world when obama turned it over to Trump. /s
PING!
“Luis Gutierrez was and is a world class hypocrite.”
Indeed.
Hypocrisy is a way of life inside that Beltway as well as throughout the msm.
Him and Gov Brown should do lunch sometime.
They have a lot in common.
No different than before the storm.
“Luis Gutierrez was and is a world class [self-promoting, @sswipe.]”
Fixed!
Secondly, why doesn’t Der Hildabeast fly down there and save the day with her millions in cold, hard cash? She did a bang-up job in Haiti. ;)
She could be, ‘Queen of Puerto Rico!’ What a missed opportunity.
