Nothing in that link backs up the OP.

Yeah I am aware, I just dropped that in your posts because I am lazy.

I think most people mix the Jones act with HR 5174, WHICH does frick over Puerto Rico.

It's absolutely PATHETIC that doctors are having to go on tv begging for medicine to help.

Because the infrastructure is destroyed and passages inland blocked, along with a shortage of truck drivers.
A disaster of this level isn't easy to just fix overnight

I'll be honest. I just fact checked it and while his name was attached be wasn't in control of descions made and on to of that, the government of PR allowed the course to issue bonds when they were already in default.
So I know this is super rare on this board, but I admit my error.

frick the union. The government should tell them you're going to drive for us or you're going to jail. Just like the Feds did with the big 3 motor companies in WW2. They came in and said "stop making civilian vehicles you're now going to make military vehicles. In times of emergency you don't get a choice

So you link to the general fema site? It's alright, the OP pasted some made up stats from a clickbait site and the poliboard immediately accepted it as the truth. Not the first time and won't be the last.
No need to knight for OP, he's long gone just like this thread should be.

If someone could find the weather channel interview with FEMA earlier this week it would answer a lot of questions. More than what the OP has stated was discussed.

What's pathetic is your understanding of logistics of an island where
-almost every ounce of supplies must come from outside
-how their own internal infrastructure is so well and totally fricked that getting supplies miles inland is a task unto itself
-that getting just the basic supplies for 3.4 million people, even under the best of circumstances, would take months
What we have here is that once you get to the island the supply chain needed to get mass quantities farther inland is shattered. It's not just supplies like food and water that are needed, but vehicles to transport them and fuel to run those vehicles. ALL of that has to be brought in in quantities that all ports together would have a hard time servicing and then those supplies face the bottleneck of impassable roads that MUST be made at least passable first.
The best they can do for now is airlifting by chopper and even then you can only focus on the major population centers as there's simply not enough airspace for the kind of supply lines you seem to think can just pop up overnight.
I understand you hate Trump but stop letting that blind you to obvious facts.

They did it voluntarily, the big three did not lose money during the war.
