It's also not there fault they the Island was conquered by the USA either. You conquer them, help them you fucker. I hate assholes like you that point and blame when your place of birth likely wasn't in a shit situation to begin with.

Nor is it PR's fault they were conquered by Spain previously whom barely developed the island, thus leaving it underdeveloped, which requiring large spending in the early to mid 1900s to somewhat modernize the island.

But hey let's cut spending, who needs the island to have electricity, easy access to food or water. Obviously /u/Gregger90 and /u/jls000 know best and will explain what they'd cut spending on.

But no, just attack and blame PR for not having cut spending when the island was already more underdeveloped than any US state.

Some of my family is from there, despite having decent jobs (Minister and other was a paralegal), no AC in their small home, no internet, usually bottled water as the tap was gross in 2014 when I visited them. Now with the hurricane no power, no cellular, probably limited food as well.

Only the main cities like San Juan, Ponce, and debately a few others had apartments that featured AC as commonplace. Everywhere else on the island you were SOL if you aren't a "rich" mainlander.
