    If Puerto Rico became a state instead of a territory, would this get any better? It’s shameful either way.

      It seems like we screwed them over when they got wrecked by a hurricane a few years back. Surely if they were a state, we’d have spent more on disaster relief and especially building a modern electrical grid after theirs was wrecked.

      Maybe our new unelected “prime minister” can do something useful with all his conflicts of interest and build out PR with solar based microgrids and battery storage
