Talked to folks in P.R. this morning. Many areas of the island now have power.

Looks like PR has fallen. What causes this?

Third World mentality.

Uh-oh, what happens if the EBT cards don’t get recharged on time?

I think you've hit upon it. They just need to hang on another week.

Can you imagine the chaos and rioting if EBT cards didn't get recharged in NYC, Philly or another major American city?

A failed commonwealth. I guess Operation Bootstrap needs rebooting.

If power was out on the entire island, how were people able to “take to social media” to criticize? Were the ISP’s on generator?

"What kind of ID do the Puerto Rican amigos have to show to fly here?"

None - other than the usual ID required to board a plane. Puerto Rico is a US territory, and Puerto Ricans are US citizens.
