My friend, I have been to Puerto Rico. Stayed at the Caribe Hilton. By comparison to other hotels in which I have stayed, it is a dump! My cab ride into San Juan was the absolutely scariest ride I have ever had, and I race. One of our friends wife had to be hospitalized while we were there. The hospital staff stole the woman’s jewelry. The “medical care” was so sub-standard, that her husband was forced to charter a Medivac jet to fly her back to Atlanta. We decided to take a break from having our annual sales conferences in Hawaii, to try Puerto Rico. There is absolutely no comparison between the two places. We came away with the fact that Puerto Ricans actually on the whole, hate America. There is no English on the TV. But why? You and your people have been the recipients of endless billions of dollars from the mainland that was supposed to help you to become self-sufficient. So tell me, why hasn’t that more or less constant infusion of dollars from people like me made a difference? Why do you live in housing that isn’t fit for a third world country? Why do your “leaders” rat hole supplies that we send you, and equipment that’s destined to fix your electric disty system? And that POS mayor of San Juan! She’s simply a Communist! I just don’t get it! Maybe you can give me a different perspective, because it is part of this country and it should be at least as good a place as most of the rest of what we call America.
What year did you visit PR. I look forward to hearing other evaluations of this comment.
