Puerto Rico…cockfighting is ubiquitous, and that is the reason
the territory always votes against joining the union. My son has
been there numerous times (friends live there) and the place has
a serious crime problem. His favorite thing there=wild ponies are
running around hither and yon. I don’t believe there is much of a
work ethic…the place is welfare city. The US has an important
military base in PR, that is why the people are getting free rent.

To quote an article: “Puerto Rico also has a higher percentage of Social Security disability than any state has, with a high incidence of fraud, and a higher percentage receiving standard U.S. welfare benefits. Some of that is related to need, but Vega and Díaz cited the experience of Iris Lopez, the human resources manager at the Socio-Economic Community Institute, a nonprofit that manages federal Community Service Block Grants for work training and placement. Lopez spoke of “the lack of values and work ethic that make people employable to begin with,” noted that four out of 10 job applicants do not show up for interviews, adding, “Many don’t even have the courtesy, the discipline, or cordiality to call and cancel.” Lopez did not tie that tendency just to the untrained poor—many unemployed engineers and technicians also do not show up.”
If you’ve been to Philly, Allentown, NYC, NJ… you can see how the ‘Pork Chops” have ruined these cities. They are the scum of the earth.

PR is a free-shitter’s paradise thanks to Uncle Sugar handing out our tax dollars, but alas all good things come to an end.
Here is a novel thought……GET A FUKKIN JOB and work to earn your way. The USA!USA!USA! can’t feed every stray cat on the planetary block !!

‘Course, The Unjust State of Warmerica could always just stop taking over the whole world. Then, Puerto Rico would be a separate country, responsible for its own ills ‘n’ bills. And Panama. And Hawaii. And Guam. And the 130 countries the Green Berets are in. And our thousand military bases on the soil of sovereign nations. Financially (and morally), the USA is also underwater. Too bad the Declaration of Independence was never taken seriously.
