I live in Texas and have gone through many hurricanes. A storm is a gaping hole that you throw money in until the thieves have no more places to put it. Private companies work overtime to get things going. The gubmint stands around pointing at the problem with a clipboard. PR was a basket case before the storm hit and now they want gold plated poles and generators to get ready for the next socialist moron to drain the money supply. If you look at the money we send to these hell holes, divide the money by the residents and we could usually give each person a million dollars and save money. With a million, they could move to Florida or start a new business in PR.
Puerto Rico is to blame, it’s Puerto Rico where this happened and their lack of infrastructure and poor government oversight and management.
