The troll and Puerto Rico

vendredi 29 septembre 2017 à 02:00

A week after Hurricane Maria destroyed Puerto Rico's infrastructure, the troll has done little or nothing.

I suspect the troll sees no difference between Puerto Ricans and Mexicans. They are all hispanics, so he thinks they are all "bad hombres", even those who are actually mujeres.

The troll has waived the Jones act for Puerto Rico.

I support the Jones Act, in general. Why allow foreign ships with low-paid crews to take the shipping business away from better-paid US workers? However, it makes sense to waive the requirement temporarily after a storm. Indeed, Puerto Rico, as an island, needs it more than Texas.
