Puerto Rico has received relief materials. They just don't have the equipment nor infrastructure available to effectively distribute it. --- Quote from: Juncoph on September 28, 2017, 11:45:53 AM ---not to mention that the vote was BEFORE they got desolated by hurricanes, so they're probably even less interested in independence at this point --- End quote --- They're also in $70 billion USD of debt due to stuffty government mismanagement, corruption, and inability to pay for social programs (more than 60% of PR receives medicare/medicaid which puts a huge drain on the territory). They want daddy America to pay for their debt crCIA. |
