Great News Roundup!
So true about Puerto Rico. Besides Trump's inbred anymosity to Puerto Ricans, ever since the Puerto Rican Government told him to stuff it on some golf course he wanted some money for down there, he has been out to 'git' them. Trump is a petty, vengeful, psychopath crook with illusions of grandeur. He is his own worse enemy.
I think his heinous actions against Puerto Ricans will backfire, but not for ethical reasons.
Let me explain. The Puerto Rican Government power stucture is Bankster Corrupt to the core.
Those Fascists are joined at the triple tax free bond hip with their Bankster pals in New York. Just like Trump and his Daddy's criminal MO in New York as a real estate developer, the elite parasites in Puerto Rico shaft average Puerto Ricans by grabbing a significant portion of the money coming from the Federal Government through sweetheart government contracts to build schools, bridges or whatever, at a cost FAR above actual cost. The corruption down there, like in New York city, is horrendous. A hurricane just makes things more predatory, not more compassionate and humane.
As Naomi Klein pointed out in her Disaster Capitalism book, and later on specifically in regard to Hurricane Maria infrastructure repair money for Puerto Rico, the Fascsit/Capitalist Elite Parasites see disasters as an opportunity to steal MORE government money, not help fellow citizens.
IOW, elite parasites everywhere are all part of the human tick family that Trump belongs to. However, when some Puerto Rican ticks with lots of money and connections in New York get stiffed by the Trump Tick, they can make quite a bit of voting trouble IN FLORIDA AND ILLINOIS AND TEXAS AND CALFORNIA for the Trump Tick.
There's more, but my point is that Trump is damaging his political career by not playing ball with the Bankster Ticks in Puerto Rico.
Yes, Puerto Rico needs that money, and badly. Yes, good, decent people, now suffering needlessly from Trump's cruelty, will benefit from it, despite Puerto Rican Fascist Banker Corruption in that Government. So, I hope Trump eventually stops ordering FEMA to drag its feet.
Nevertheless, in view of how Trump's disdain for Puerto Rico harms his public relations and political career, Trump made a VERY bad move there. Good.
Speaking of Puerto Rico, I was looking through the gallery on this forum and did a sort to see which image got the most views. To my surprise, one of the most viewed was a breakdown of Mutual Funds with exposure to Puerto Rican Bonds! 👀
So, hello to all you
🦉 Puerto Rican lurkers out there!
🌴🌞Surly, if you a haven't done that gallery sort by image views, I recommend it. The "most viewed" images provide, IMHO, pertinent insight on forum viewer interest (e.g. they are fascinated with 🐲 Agnotology).
As to the
images critical of the Fossil Fuel Industry Biosphere Trashing Business Model that no longer show for some, uh, strange (Hydrocarbon 😈 Hellspawn 🦍 HACKER) reason, I'm workin' on dat.
