Estimates of between $40-$80B taxpayer dollars just to repair the island's infrastructure are outrageous. Why do it? Their leaders inept and corrupt borrowing already had American taxpayers $73B in debt before the hurricanes. And who's to say they don't get hit by another hurricane or two next year? The place is destroyed...why throw good money after bad at 3,662,102 people who can't run their own affairs?

I agree! Here is another article on how poorly PR has managed it's affairs and where the hell is their national guard troops?


Nine Days After Maria and How Many Members of the Puerto Rico National Guard are on Duty?



Someone needs to ask why, with a Cat 5 hurricane bearing down on the island, the National Guard was not activated before the storm hit. Someone needs to ask why soldiers from the PRNG are being allowed, according to the story, to stay home and care to their families instead of performing their duty. Someone needs to ask why some 5,000 active duty soldiers have been sent to Puerto Rico while 5,000 members of the Puerto Rico National Guard have not reported for duty.

Ummm...odd isn't it that the OP's author didn't whine about the money, commodities and teams of first responders sent to Texas and Florida. He also didn't post a thread pissing and moaning about the taxpayer money which has been used by the Trump Administration for boondoggles.
 
Gee, Build a house on a cliff above the ocean then bitch about a storm wiping you out. Its like people who move next to an airport then start complaining about the noise.

The mayor of San Juan cannot be bothered to work with FEMA. She is busy ordering tee shirts and giving interviews! She should be working with FEMA and ordering her national guard into action. She needs truck drivers. I bet the majority can drive trucks and clear roads!

Crying for help while standing in front of pallets of aid nobody was moving out to the countryside...they expect us to come in and do it for them while they whine and call us "racists"....fuck it, fuck them.

Like that was enough for more than 3 million Americans?

In a period of almost 2 weeks, they had distributed one million meals to more than 3 million people.
 
I think there is some merit in the op. The islands natural resource, tourism, is being squandered.

Bulldoze a ring around the island up to one or two miles in and let this island and its people take advantage of what is there waiting to be tapped into.
Lots of Americans love to part ways with large sums of money to bury their feet in the sand while sipping on some absurd umbrella drink as they gaze at palm trees. Maybe throw in a casino or two.

Or

Rebuild the hovels and cross our fingers that we don't have to do this again next year.

The Puerto Ricans refused to drive the trucks to distribute the aid. The drivers are standing around waiting for handouts.
