    Good point. Hadn't considered that the lines being down would complicate that. Duh!

    Interesting how little press that got. Seems to be a rather big deal. No doubt they voted for it because they're a mess and dead broke, etc, but vote in favor they did.

    Can't cut them lose cuz we don't like them and or agree with them on various issues. Last time they/we tried that, only killed about 500k 'Murican's. Gonna have to play nice with each other, at least for now as and long as we can.

    If they voted to succeed, I highly doubt too many would shed any tears over it and I suspect they'd have great difficulty convincing most in the mill to go kill fellow 'Muricans over it too today. Still...

    A guy who works for me is from PR, outside of San Juan.

    His parents house is concrete with shutters and also has a generator and a small water tank. They are middle income and I assume that it is more common place to have those items. That said, if they can keep gasoline flowing maybe they can survive better than your average US home that has no generator and a few 16oz bottles of water laying around.

    Once he can establish comms, I can maybe give an update. His grandparents have a landline and stated they survived just fine.

    I hope they are well, good news. If those who don't have any of that decide they want it, I assume they're fuc^#d unless security and stability established quickly.

    Roger that Will, I'm okay with helping get them back on their feet, then I say cut them loose...regardless of how they vote.

    Donald Trump Jr. should just buy the island of PR; turn into one giant T R U M P resort, hire all the inhabitants put them to work, have Elon Musk clone some dinosaurs and open an exclusive Jurassic Park for a higher VIP membership. Done and done.
