This is really sad. Sounds like the vultures have landed on the shores or Puerto Rico after the hurricane. There was supposed to be protection against this happening. This is sad and disturbing.

That is how it works. The vultures get bailed out by the taxpayers and the taxpayers get picked apart by them.

This is a great time to invest in Puerto Rico. Get in on the ground floor.

Puerto Rico is undergoing a transformation. The poor and middle earners are leaving for Florida and the fat cats (with new money from the tax cuts now) are moving in. You will see all manner of new and glitzy development as PR becomes a top playground for the wealthy. The people remaining will live as paupers inland and work in the hotels, golf courses and seaside resorts.

So no different than what it was before... poor Puerto Ricans, they got used by the Democrats... they could of had power earlier but decided to play a game with the ONLY result that Puerto Ricans lose... thanks Democrats! Whatever happened to the previous electrical company to restore power? Oh yeah, nothing...

The tax bill has hurt PR something about not treating them as equal in regards of manufacturing. Not sure but their manufacturers may be treated as foreign.

I am going to give you a tiny benefit of a doubt that you can prove the "Democrats" have screwed Puerto Ricans, more than say, the Republicans

Tell us how! Links and specifics. Or you could always slink away.

Trump’s incompetence is resulting in a lot of new Democratic voters moving to Florida. Thanks, Don!

The people of P.R. are undergoing suffering most of us will never know but rather than try and come up with solutions, we fall back on our stupid partisan bickering.

It's really sad.
