There’s a big difference between mainland, big and democratic east coast cities “Puerto Ricans” and actual island Puerto Ricans. Imagine an F2 tornado the width of your state sawing through the entire length of it for 16 hours. That’s what we went through. Both the local and federal governments here collapsed. That’s why we gave up on them and just carried on helping ourselves. Only the U.S. military was capable and able to project power and logistics into the disaster in a timely basis. That’s why I make the distinction.
I understand the damage. You should be self reliant until help arrives.
I might be taking it wrong, but you sound angry and ungrateful. Government is inefficient, you should have already known that.
This much time after the hurricane and you still can’t get a generator for your house? Roads must be clear by now, and regular commerce should have been reintroduced to at least some ports...no???
