Didn’t a LOT of our drugs/med supplies/contact lenses, etc., used to be made in PR?
Yes, until Bubba sent it to China.
Milk of Magnesia was/is made in Puerto Rico.
My son who lives in PR with his wife and sons says there is a 5 mile by 5 mile industrial park where a lot of the pharmaceuticals were made. I wonder what condition they are in now. Surely some must be capable of rapid renovation/restoration. I will ask him the next time I phone.
China certainly has its share of bad earthquakes, hurricanes, and flooding. Even now there have been fears that the 3 Gorges Dam might fail, flooding an area inhabited by 400,000,000 people. I read earlier that 90,000 people had to move so they could expand the flooded area behind the heavily impacted dam for the current flooding.
