2017 - 2025. If 71% hasn't been spent, what's the interest on 3/4 of 90 billion? What's the rate of graft and missing funds when 'infrastructure' investments run over 10 years post disaster? And is is fake 'human infrastructure' or actual physical infrastructure that money is being spent on first?

Not enough Grandchildren care about their Aabuela apparently. FOAD AOC.

Well according to the article, congress is holding up the funds. And why controls congress, pray tell? Oh, that’s right, the Democrats

@AP
Hundreds of Haitians deported by the U.S. in recent days left their homeland almost a decade ago. They’re now returning to a nation that is even more violent, impoverished and politically unstable than when they left.

Too bad occasional-kotex didn’t use that $30,000 for the ticket to help rebuild her abuela’s home rather than waste it on an evening in NYC showcasing the dress made by a tax criminal...

Give it back to Spain on condition that they take AOC with the island.

PR was a backwater when it was a Spanish colony - the Spaniards gave incentives to any Catholic European to settle and few came. The name “Rich Port” was itself a bit of an unintentional sarcastic joke, and Havana had the better harbor (and Cuba the better economy).

Full disclosure: the woman who would have been my mother in law (she died in March) was from Morovis. I enjoy visiting the island but am under no illusions that it is a political and economic basket case.

[Clemenza]

For your ping list and getting others to give the island perspective.

Graft.
