There’s the one infernal truth that the media likes to omit: there’s tons of supplies sitting there. But with roads blocked or destroyed, very limited gas or power to pump it, much less transport vehicles that are running and can navigate from Point A to Point B, all these inbound ships can do is offload at the ports and leave. It’ll require an airlift operation and occupying force of military and contractors to get some manner of distribution and infrastructure repair coordinated, and that’s no small potatoes, regardless of the scale. And, there’s the matter of so much of it having to be done via cargo and container ships. I’m sure Puerto Ricans are more than ready, willing, and able to roll up their sleeves and tackle it head-on, but just getting basic communications up and routes of transport open is going to take time to establish. What a Godawful mess there.
Go through the records and find everyone in the military who speak Spanish and can drive a deuce-and-a-half or larger truck.
Trump has acceded immediately to every PR request. But can’t the distribution system (or lack thereof) be pinned on him? The MSM wants to know.

From everything I’ve read and seen on TV, the PRs are hardly doing anything to help clear their roads of debris, unlike what happened in TX and FL.
They seem to be waiting for their Dem govt. or the mainland US to do that work. ....Any wonder why supplies aren’t getting to some areas, unless they’re airlifted via choppers?
