“The problem is that with the Commonwealth status, it makes it too easy for the productive class to leave for better opportunities on the mainland, so who is left behind?”
So they go to Florida and vote RAT! As for “who is left behind,” the sad fact is that those most unable to leave, are also the one’s who can’t fix what’s wrong there. Puerto Rico runs just like Spain. A few wealthy at the top who don’t give a $hit about the rest other than what they can extract from them. Maybe Congressman Hank Johnson will sponsor a bill to have it towed out to sea and used for target practice, since he thinks islands are like boats.
A few years ago our company decided to have our winter sales meeting in San Juan rather than the usual Honolulu. Let me tell you, There is no comparison, San Juan is a dump!
And all the Neyoriquan celebrities, like Marc Anthony and J-Lo who don’t do jack squat but pay lip service to the island their parents abandoned, and blame Republicans for all of PR’s troubles.
