I always feel sad that we almost never care about giving these people the equal voting rights they have been lacking. Several US territories are always in such a limbo. At least Puerto Rico is populous and close enough (e.g. as compared to Alaska), and Puerto Ricans can always travel freely into and out of the States without any visa.
we need comunism in puerto rico π΅π·
Wall Street scavengers bankrupted Puerto Rico.
Please, please, please π can we learn how to pronounce Puerto? It's Puerto NOT PORTO.
ALSO Costa Rica is Costa, as in Costco, NOT COASTA.
Thank you.
Trump does the same thing, every six years…
Now the Puerto Rico goverment wants to create a TAX TO THE SUN π, to every person that own a sun producing energy system. Most of the comments down below are morons that don't live in the Island.
They need to become their own country
Weeeeeeeeepaaaaa
All puetoricans I have known at California are on section a getting food stamps Living la Vida loca and milking taxpayers…
another f grade on particularly
Puerto Ricans should go solar.
who gave him the money us
Dicelo al gobierno pillo que tienen. Populetes y Penepestes todos son unos pillos!
Hope for the best.
Yeah πππππππΊππΊβ€π΅π·π΅π·π΅π·
We have highest taxes , less police, highest electric and water "service". No retirement, goods and services all time high and political corruption is rampant less jobs and with new labor laws less job security. We're screwed.

No mention that most of Puerto Rico's debt was due to the US government's continual practice of changing the rules under which the island operates based on little more than lawmaker's whims.
Congratulations!

Puerto Rico has historically been preyed on by predatory lenders locking it into brutal cycles of debt.
During a pandemic, nice π
π΅π· Puerto Rico to fight their independence nextβ
Inspired by Ukraine πΊπ¦…..
P.R. people always looking 4 a hand out they should take care of their own be independent don't be part of U.S.A., , NEED TO OWN YOUR OWN COUNTRY…
Free Puerto Rico from Amerikkka!
This is probably going to end up bad for the Puerto Rican people, the ones that own these bonds are just already rich aholes
Getting ready to become a state ,you see Biden administration just floods the system with money and you can't keep track where the money goes, they probably bailed out Puerto Rico the last i heard was 90 billion in debt ,USA just inherited billions of dollars in hurricane damages if it becomes a state
Oh no
Can I get a reconstruction on my debt ?
Someone needs to write down what they did America will need it soon !
She all the money that y'all got you just sky free? Must be nice π I wonder what the world would look like if ever One took money and don't pay it backπ§π²

I feel bad for the fleecing that P.R. resident get due to their incompetent government. We have many new P.R. residents here in Florida and over all they appear to be very jovial, family oriented folks who are very happy to be here yet are still proud of their homeland. I welcome them and if they can be sparred the Liberal brainwashing they will do very well here.
lovely island, looking forward to visit again
Even with war added to Brandonβs long list of failures, his voters still justify and support his spineless incompetence.
Shout out to George Floyd on 661 days of sobriety. It took some tough love but he did it. Say his name liberals!
Support a Sovereign and Independent Puerto Rico, End US Colonialism! ππ π΅π·
Well welcome to the US
America politics are so BASIC, no idea the common day to day struggles Puerto Ricans go through SMH, wake up Gringos & grant pr statehood, taxation without representation!
Grant Puerto Rice, DC and the territories Statehood!
Doesn't matter. PR government is as corrupt as any other Western, Latin government in Central or South America.
They'll do it all over again in the coming years. They'll keep coming to the Federal gov't with their hats in their hands, looking for debt relief.
Puerto Ricans have fled to the mainland looking for work and prosperity, only to buy into Socialist-Democrats' promises of "free stuff" and looking to profit from the racial grievance industry.
The American and the CCP have held talks for seven hours these days. What are they talking about? That is, the CCP sold Putin of Russia, and China and the United States began to cooperate again. The United States clamored to sanction the CCP, but in fact it began to appease again for the sake of profit. Do you understand? Chinese companies have begun to accept corporate scrutiny from the United States, diplomacy has begun to turn, and the CCPβs internal propaganda has begun to say how many military facilities Russia has annihilated, and it has begun to cut itself off from Russia. America, is your justice built on interests? You are raising tigers and planting a big bomb for the future of America and the world.
Next thing you know they're going to want Statehood.
What a disgrace on our people π
