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

technically it seems like elaine duke was the one to pull the trigger on it at the request of some congressmen but i don't see why Annoying Orange wouldn't have done the same so I'll put it in the "Annoying Orange did good" pile anyways

Puerto Rico has received relief materials. They just don't have the equipment nor infrastructure available to effectively distribute it.

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.
