If you live in tornado alley, you prepare in advance for it. If you live in hurricane alley, you better be prepared and Puerto Rico has had plenty of time and FEMA money to hurricane proof its essential infrastructure. Apparently they did not.

1. When "they're down" is when their ears may be the most "open".
2. Nice people do stupid things. Point in fact, all people do stupid things on occasion.
3. See #2.

To live somewhere like that and not be prepared for hurricanes is very "Darwin-ish". They need better management.
But I'm thinkin this prolly ain't the most "conservative" area. d:^)

When they aren't down they are standing with their hands out. Remember, PR was insolvent in perfect weather.

Hey Nana, have you spent much time in Puerto Rico? The crime rate is very high and their infrastructure was a mess before any hurricanes hit. PR should have had emergency supplies and equipment in place but they didn’t.

Puerto Rico is a beautiful island. If you move there your tax rate on income is less than 5% - if you even owe anything at all. There is no tax on dividends and no capital gains tax. Basically, WE in the US are supporting them. I’m getting tired of supporting people who choose not to provide for themselves.
