What could have been more ill-managed than Puerto Rico? They have a year-round growing season, no need to heat their dwellings, a long and spectacular seacoast much of which is well suited for recreational resort use, and plenty of people who need work. They've had and survived storms forever and will continue to do so.
I just got back from Puerto Rico, frankly I wouldn’t have known there was a hurricane there based on what I saw. They’ve pretty much recovered.
Of course, the press doesn’t want people to think that.
