Didnt these people not learned what happens when a storm hits ? I am waiting to see how much the US will AGAIN bail these non preppers out
🇺🇸🇵🇷🗽🧔
A domestic convenience store was just raided by black youth and destroyed…. U PEOPLE IN THE NEWS NEED AN ATTITUDE ADJUSTMENT.
Puerto Rico's history of corruption in government and inept administrators has created constant crisis.
It's been a point of controversy and contention for years: A place that's gotten some of the most U.S. taxpayer money in history for causes like hurricane relief and rebuilding its electric grid is also known as one of the most corrupt when it comes to how all that cash is spent. (Congress proved billions of dollars after the last hurricane.) When Fiona hit PR it was a Cat 1 storm with winds of ~81 MPH.
I want to know what happened to the 3 billion that was supposed to upgrade the powergrid.
if puerto rico had a green leaning governor that made them go to all electric how would that work out for them today and or in the future
He said Americans…wow … awesome
Where is biden when Puerto Rico is in dire need ??? You can find biden at his beach house and people had a lot to say when Trump did go and threw the paper towel…..at least he went and send supply !!!! Corruption in PR still made him look bad…..where's biden ?????
It’s all Trumps fault 😂😂😂
😒 wtf it's happening the hole worl and USA sent a ton of money to Ukraine for war and humanitarian relief and to rebuild the country why not send help and fix the problem if it's USA territory they are our brothers
It’s crazy to me that there are people out there, politicians even, who don’t believe in global warming/climate change despite the scientific proof. Hurricane Fiona just devastated Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic, Bermuda, & Eastern Canada. Tropical Storm Ian is about to hit parts of Cuba & Mexico before intensifying into a Category 4 hurricane as it makes its way towards Florida & the Gulf Coast. There are tropical storms (Gaston & Hermine) in the Atlantic that while luckily they weren’t strong and didn’t make major landfall, they still had strong winds and lots of rain to Portuguese Islands & the African west coast respectively. AND TO CAP ALL THAT OFF… there is a SUPER TYPHOON (Noru) slamming into the Philippines and other parts of Asia as we speak. This shows a trend that these events are just going to get worse. Multiple hurricanes/tropical storms/typhoons all at once, earthquakes everywhere, temperature fluctuating back and forth. We need to do something NOW.
Hey why don’t you call your amigos in America they always talk about Puerto Rico this we love a Puerto Rican island come on amigos send the help to amigos on the island Rapido Pendejo Cabron
The way the government including all agencies and the governor and luma energy have responded this past week is nothing short of criminal.
Fraud, bribery, Corruption. Year after year the same playbook. Follow the money 💰. It is by design.
Yeah Puerto Rico has no power no water no nothing thank you Donald Trump for you and your cronies your private contractors for ripping off the state of Puerto Rico
Puerto Rico is so bea
And again next year, plastic doesnt help anything
Stop crying
White people please help
But, but Trump.
What's Trump going to do about it!
Caribbean is unliveable now, can’t live on tiny islands with constant earthquakes and hurricane, plus useless governments too!!
Bring them to the US and Canada, bring all the Caribbean people because it’s just going to get worse
Christian glass
Power and electricity are the same thing.
I must admit that after 6 days without power, I'm starting to get a little mad. WTF are they doing?
Yeah, and it's going to happen again next year.
Puerto Rico? What about Us,?; We're starving, Biden gave billions to pay for other countries to buy food and cut ours in half. My utilities are cut off and in California don't have electricity for our air conditioner and cars and you want us to worry about Puerto Rico???!!!!; You gotta be kidding?!!!!!!!
All thanks to 👆for coming through, I have lost a lot trading by myself until I was referred to Mr Kris, I now make $18k out of my $7k investment every 10 days and withdrawal has been smooth
plays bad bunny
Lack of Power and Electricity? Tell them how GREEN they are being!
0:29 Bernardo please remember "La que no nos mata nos hace fuerte" we are going to get through this.
