This is why food is so expensive, supplies are so expensive, in fact, this is a way to keep the entire island subjugated. Previously, after massive hurricanes, this "policy" was suspended to allow anyone to send aid to Puerto Rico. Not under Trumpo the fat fucking idiot. http://www.statesman.com/news/nation...lClfUONKhSsoJ/ |
Definitely didn't know about that fucked up policy. I know PR is on the path to statehood, maybe that will help, though no panacea for the current hurricane problems.
