Generally slothful and wasteful behavior is the norm. Any infrastructure left to them by the Feds/Military quickly turns to shit.

Legalizing either for taxation purposes will not solve their debt problem.
Just like it wouldn't solve out debt problem. The problem isn't taxation...we collect plenty of taxes. The problem is over-spending. |

Hell, I thought prostitution was legal there. They certainly didn't hide it when I was there in the early 70's. Cat houses were out in the open. They were called clubs, one advertised "25 lovely hostesses continuously on duty"

The US wanted PR. It's not going anywhere. Get used to that. If anything, it will be a state. That is how the last plebiscite turned out.
The last Governor was a Republican. He cut spending, his staff, his salary and number of .gov workers. They voted him out. As usual, they are looking to raise money instead of cutting expenses. What some here don't understand is that yes, there are FSA there, there are also plenty of douchebag companies (Eagle-makes tactical shit- comes to mind) who pay a very low wage there and tell the workers "Hey, go get food stamps". Many PRs work very hard. And the food stamps they get are much less "dollar" wise than here. |

Fine in touristy areas. in the inner city areas, nope. Though, I did get on a bus with my wife and we went through huge housing project. No problem. There is an art to it. Not recommended.

He didn't want to so he quit. Started a carpet cleaning business. He's doing very well and working very hard. Some people will take a low paying job as they feel they have no choices. It's hard to find a job in PR. I remember as a teenager trying to find part time work in PR. Couldn't do it. So, I spent my summers in Alabama cutting grass and washing dishes. |
