Puerto Rico Ping! Please Freepmail me if you want on or off the list.
‘Hellhole’....maybe not.
But if you compared it with the population, and murders...679 for 2016...it’s probably not a place that most guys would want to settle into.
Opening a business a Puerto Rico...
They are about to get their heads handed to them.
This ain’t your safe space of college where pushing for socialism had no effect on your day to day life.
That almost makes me want to adopt PR as the 51’st state, but not quite.
It’s not a hellhole. The leftwing politicians have turned it into a sad case, dependent on handouts from the federal government. Puerto Ricans come to the mainland to work. It’s leftist politics that have made the island a dependent underclass as part of the whole “Hispanic” victim group thing.
I don’t think there’s a lot of difference between these entrepreneurs and the original American settlers. Tackling a dangerous hellhole, a sense of “making their own way”, maybe equipped with some skills...a lot of unknowns.
I wish them luck and hope they succeed.
I’ve been to PR several times and believe it is a paradise. Of course they have the favelas and shanty towns (as does Wash DC), but the weather, ocean could make it all worthwhile.
All you need is a way to support yourself and a big guard dog. A work-at-home job? Commerce over the Internet? If you are already retired your benefits may cover your living expenses.
They “moved back” to Puerto Rico, bringing their education with them. This is what should be happening around the world, come here and get an education, and go home and take your skills to improve your homeland.
STOP letting them in here!
Now that they finally? have food joints and bars i might consider going to PR. Yep.
