Puerto Rico: 35% without power, 20% without water, as FEMA cuts off food and water aid

[Trotsky]

On the basis that they don't want to flood the local markets and impede a natural economic recovery. Ffs.

In a sign that FEMA believes the immediate humanitarian emergency has subsided, on Jan. 31 it will, in its own words, "officially shut off" the mission it says has provided more than 30 million gallons of potable water and nearly 60 million meals across the island in the four months since the hurricane. The agency will turn its remaining food and water supplies over to the Puerto Rican government to finish distributing.

Some on the island believe it's too soon to end these deliveries given that a third of residents still lack electricity and, in some places, running water, but FEMA says its internal analytics suggest only about 1 percent of islanders still need emergency food and water. The agency believes that is a small enough number for the Puerto Rican government and nonprofit groups to handle.

You're so stupid that you can't even amount to being good at being stupid.

Puerto Rican debt has absolutely nothing to do with disaster relief. Disaster relief isn't provided with interest, you failed abortion of an attempted troll.

If anything, private interests to whom Puerto Rico is indebted would want expedited relief so the island can resume making payments on the debt.

FEMA says its internal analytics suggest only about 1 percent of islanders still need emergency food and water. The agency believes that is a small enough number for the Puerto Rican government and nonprofit groups to handle.

"The reality is that we just need to look around. Supermarkets are open, and things are going back to normal," said Alejandro De La Campa, FEMA's director in Puerto Rico.

The decision to end the delivery of aid is part of the agency's broader plan to transition away from the emergency response phase of its work on the island. In the weeks and months to come, the focus will be longer-term recovery. De La Campa said that includes finding ways to jumpstart the island's troubled economy.

They have received enough disaster relief. The storm was how many months ago? Why waste disaster relief funds on an Island that contributes nothing to the mainland except drain our resources?

Typical brainwashed liberal stance of “you’re so stupid”. Keep lobbying for the lazy.

Just realized you are our resident communist troll..... lol move along Trotsky

I can't imagine how this got fucked up given how competent PR leaders proved themselves to be while virtue signaling for camera time

/sarcasm

The populace there electred bona fide, 100% retarded simpletons to lead the island of dipshits. Play stupid games.....

If Mississippi, Alabama, Louisiana, Georgia, or South Carolina were wrecked by a natural disaster, would you be fine with letting them rot is disrepair since they "contribute nothing" to the rest of the country?

Must suck to live on an island lacking in natural resources and infrastructure in the middle of hurricane alley.

Re "island of dipshits," my sister-in-law is from Puerto Rico, has two masters degrees from UMass, and is absolutely smarter and more successful than you are.

If you morons read the rest of the article, or hell even my title, you'd see that 1/5 of the population still lacks access to clean drinking water, so depending on available market mechanisms is a stupid fucking suggestion.

Lmfao. No. You know where I work and since what year ( or can find it with a search). Your pretend relative with pretend dual masters (which only a dipshit would get before a doctorate) isn't smart. She exists as much as your law degree: nonexistent.

What's more, there are sure to be a few bright spots, even on a colon.

Do you know anything about crime stats and Puerto Rico? The island is a cesspool. What do degrees have to do with intelligence?

ITT: moron posts story hoping for others to have sympathy for make-believe, stupid relatives (only a liberal would do this).

Liberal then cries because intelligent people come in and point out that his make-believe relatives are real-life retarded if they still live in PR.

Don't fret, @Trotsky , idiots like you have informed us how awesome Haiti is every time of year. Send your pretend, numb-nutted family there instead of the shithole island they're on.
