I read awhile back that in the 50’s the US decided to change the economics of Puerto Rico from agricultural based to manufacturing based.

They gave corporations a major tax break, pharmaceuticals moved in, their economy soared.

Clinton pulled the plug on that one. Their economy tanked.

By the time the hurricane hit their infrastructure was already crumbling and didn’t have a chance.

Combine that with incompetent local governance, Puerto Ricans has paid a high price for inept politicos.

I fell in love with that island and her people 30 years ago.
Hate to see what it’s become.

I would much rather have tax breaks and incentives to have our pharmaceuticals made in Puerto Rico than in Red China.
