To throw more money at Puerto Rico's infrastructure is useless. The corruption of federal funds in the past put a halt to writing a blank check for infrastructure. It would cost billions and take years to create a new power grid. FEMA has provided band aids to the power system but Congress is not committed to fund the Puerto Rican economy. Statehood is now being considered after years of the people wanting autonomy because they have seen corrupt governments squander any taxes they had paid. Americans are reluctant to take on the obligation of funding the entire islands overhaul knowing it would cost billions and with young Puerto Ricans leaving the island to make careers in the US it leaves no tax base of their own to support progressive advancement. So expect another band aid until they get their government in line with federal confidence.

🌺1918– the creation of radio at the time of the Spanish Flu;
🌺1957– the start of radar arrived with the Asian Flu;
🌺1968– satellites in the air and the Hong Kong Flu;
🌺1996– cell towers and another major flu. And in

So a US Colony suffers more tragedy (AGAIN) than any other Caribbean island. Phoking corrupt government. Investigate Trump loving Jennifer Gonzalez. That pig has done S**t for us. She is the problem. 2/4 of Marias fund has yet to be used. FIVE years later???!!! da phok?? She stole our water and meds during Maria. ASK her??? please POTUS, HELP. Our Government is KILLING us!!
The Governor of P.R. is a big fat liar! Everyday is promising, "tomorrow" and the next day again, "tomorrow" and so on, you'll all have the power restored! He's only covering LUMA's butt and doesn't care about the ppl at all. We've never seen such weak and useless politician like the one P.R.'s having now. Not even the power company of LUMA is paying attention or obeying the so called "governor's" orders. To top it off, diesel is missing! Hospitals can't keep working b/c they don't have diesel to survive and supermarkets already said, they'll have to shut down for the same reason. Such is the real situation over there! Therefore, go figure!
The Congress should call for a plebiscite to declare Puerto Rico a state!!!🇺🇸🇺🇸
Puerto Rico must get rid of LUMA ASAP!!!!$$
El Gobierno 😢 Puerto Rico solo Pien
en Ellos Seguro Como Ellos tienen agua tienen …Planta …Los demás Qu
This governor is utterly useless! He’s not pressuring the local power company (LUMA) to work efficiently in restoring power. For five days LUMA has made no progress in restoring electricity. The two major plants that the governor mentioned that came online are up and running. And yet, there is no electricity to most major metro areas. Where is the power going? And why aren’t the plants generating more power?
The power def went out before the storm I hate lies smh town I’m in there not much damage still no power
what a crappy island, still no improvement over 5 years…
Looks like fake news , my cousin's haven't heard from our family there weve been living in philadelphia for years now
Living on Hope and a Dream
At least when Biden comes, he won't throw paper towels at the Puerto Ricans.
It's 7pm where I am in Quebradillas governor. Still no power.
BYE BYE BABYLON! ……………………………………………………………………………………………………Then suddenly, a mighty angel picked up a boulder shaped like a huge Mill Stone , and threw it into
The Atlantic Ocean ,
and cried mightily with a loud voice saying!! Just as I have thrown away this stone, the great city of Babylon will be thrown down with violence, and shall never be found again!!!
