It could be that it would be best if Puerto Rico were to seek independence.
I’m not comfortable with that socialized hell hole sinking the nation due to a misguided outlook on life.
Look, California is a great example of why I state this.
Yes it would be in everyone's best interest if Puerto Rico went their own way.
They have nothing in common with America. They don't share the same traditional values or work ethic. They don't share the same language or heritage. They are a Johnny-come-lately turd world accidental acquisition due to a ridiculously stupid war.
Just like with slavery, we are still paying the price with nothing in return. Puerto Rico will be a perpetual lead weight around America's ankles.
I recently spoke with my son who lives near San Juan. They have their water and electric back, and their kids are in school. I asked him about this past spring’s plebiscite and how the PR people felt about statehood, independence, or continuing with the Commonwealth status. He said the majority preferred the status quo. The link below reports that Statehood won overwhelmingly, but with only 23% of the electorate voting. The rest stayed home, which has been a pattern in past elections, where, for example, 500,000 reported a none vote in protest.
