Topic: Puerto Rico's Water Crisis...No Cups! | |
---|---|
electricity is at the root of the main problem, as it is with and area hit with a natural disaster. No electricity... no.. anything. What PR had before the hurricane was a sub par.. very sub par electrical grid which was " patched" to many remote areas. The entire grid is all but lost. That can not be fixed in a week.. or a month. It will take a long time and does not fall into FEMA's scope. They never paid their electric bills anyway. And they stole cable.. Lol.. I know .. I know.. this one will get pulled..I don't care Lol |

You are in the money. It will take weeks maybe months to tebuild. America the difference between us in the states faced a disaster and P.R. is we still have access to clean water. We can have FEMA rescues in a small amount of time. We can still donate Right now Puerto Rico cant. Keep an open mind to this. |

Hey momie i see it like this ....Puerto Rico faced a devastation with time we all faced sometime in our weather days. Plus not to mention it is part of america now. America we cant ignore what happen. We can blame really anyone. But what we can do is treat this like if this is in our state. Help rebuild once we get it back up and up the we can focus on who's accountable. |

you can't blame trump for what happen in Puerto Rico Nice to see another fellow airman agree. You can't blame this on trump. If you do, you are a moron to believe that the president is the blame for the on-time distribution on clean water It's a logistics issue, especially getting all the equipment to the island since mostly everything is destroyed. The military (as I seen in Travis where I'm at right now) is doing everything we can to push all the support we can to get everything in that area. If you want some one to blame, blame the mayor and the unionize workers. Military support operations come to a complete halt when you got some one like that finding to to point the blame at others than just getting it done. We already see in maintenance how something can get political can hold a job for hours when it takes 20 min to complete. We don't need politics here, just let us do the dam job |

Paul Ryan "toured" PR yesterday by helicopter.
Whenever there's some sort of natural disaster dozens of pols immediately fly over the area. WTF good does some bureaucrat do by flying over a flood or fire damaged area? |

Maybe read what Geraldo Rivera said after he visited Puerto Rico..... Seems even he says the news that is out is Fake..
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-nation/wp/2017/10/01/defending-trump-geraldo-rivera-debates-the-meaning-of-dying-with-san-juans-mayor/?utm_term=.103ad5f8e6fa They have not been left without supplies it was due to roads blocked that had to be cleared which Military ect was sent to help them out asap but that seems to be forgotten... Trump has actually visited with each state that has had disasters and met with the people.. Can't say that for many of the past Presidents.. Not sure how much help that others think the President should do beyond checking on the areas and the people as well as getting them the help that is being provided.. Changing laws are not just a swipe of the pen they do have steps to take and took them as soon as they could.. |

Alleoops My friend lets not forget Puerto Rico is one of our states now. Sorry Eye, Puerto Rico is not a state. It's a bankrupt US territory. http://time.com/4957011/is-puerto-rico-part-of-us/ Puerto Rico, an island in the Caribbean Sea, has been a territory of the United States since 1898, after the U.S. defeated Spain in the Spanish-American war. It's classified as an "unincorporated territory," meaning the island is controlled by the U.S. government but is separate from the mainland. Puerto Ricans by birth have American citizenship and can move freely between the island and the U.S. mainland. But unlike Hawaii, Puerto Rico is not a state. That means it does not have voting power in Congress and its citizens can't vote for the U.S. president — but they can vote in party primaries. Puerto Rico is self-governed through a local constitution that was approved by Congress in 1952. Residents can elect their own Governor, Assembly and Senate. |

Alleoops My friend lets not forget Puerto Rico is one of our states now. Sorry Eye, Puerto Rico is not a state. It's a bankrupt US territory. And for that reason Puerto Rico secretly set up a secondary province years ago ... which is known as .... New York City |

It is interesting how a weather disaster can turn into a political issue. Idealism, left, right, reality, let's try to spend few days with no water, no food, no way to get to it. Let's go even deeper, no insulin, no way to get dialysis, run out of cancer meds. Let's experience a death of a family member or a parent because the treatment that they get is impossible to obtain. Let's experience such events. Is easier to bicker, point fingers, stereotype a group of people, argue with political views, waste time on jungle juice.
On the other side, why the bureaucrats fly over the disaster area, because they do not have the guts to be on ground zero. Not directed to anyone here, just my two cents. |

I believe is getting better there, still a death toll with the aftermath.

People seem to be forgetting that most of the Caribbean islands got hit twice, the same category...

TxsGal3333,
Hi, welcome back , well you made a valid point about the roads being blocked off. As a result the flood grew . but lets not think arrogant about this issue. Bottom line is people was affected by this disaster but I like and want you to voice more for those who don't have all the coverage that the news don't give us... |
