I think it would be great to have PR as a state.
It’s only done well under Republican governors, although it’s going to be a fight to get one elected again because the NYC government unions control everything there.
But I think Puerto Ricans are getting sick of the corruption and state of neglect impelled by their Dem governors, especially as revealed in the last hurricanes.
Puerto Ricans are very entrepreneurial and industrious, and they’re being held back by a combination of separatists and the Democratic Party, which is made easier by the fact that they are not a state but sort of in limbo.
You're not from New York, are you?
PR would lose its tax haven status if it became a state.
