So that's good. Hands up to the sky, I'm about to fly! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah Trump's a liar fam, idk how else to put that. But hes also not solely responsible for deciding on this 私自身もこの世の中も誰もかれもが, どんなに華やかな人生でも, どんなに悲惨な人生でも, いつかは変貌し, 破壊され、消滅してしまう. すべてがもともとこの世に存在しない一瞬の幻想なのだから Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Puerto Rico is just riddled with issues. I've seen economic forecasts that state pension plans will likely deplete completely by the end of the year. It's subject to America's minimum wage laws, which then encourages companies to find workers in the other Caribbean islands that don't have that regulation. I even read an article in The NY Times not too long ago that if you were to disperse the debt between every man, woman, and child, each would owe around $34,000. It's just such a mess. That's really interesting that they seem to indulge in luxury goods. You have peeked my curiousity. I'll look and see if I can find any articles in academic journals that elaborate on Puerto Rican consumer behavior. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like that'll change. Puerto Rico will bring more liberal senators/representatives to Congress I'm sure, which Trump won't like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ItsTommyBitch 12,640 Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 Realistically, this may never happen, especially not during a Republican era I'd suspect even a moderate Democrat would be hesitant for some reasons... 私自身もこの世の中も誰もかれもが, どんなに華やかな人生でも, どんなに悲惨な人生でも, いつかは変貌し, 破壊され、消滅してしまう. すべてがもともとこの世に存在しない一瞬の幻想なのだから Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the Dems take power they better make this happen. They should also give D.C. real senate representation. That'd be four democratic senators right there.

Eighteen 5,430 Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 i'm under the impression that puerto rico will not become a state anytime soon cause puerto ricans tend to vote liberally and so the territory wouldn't be able to get past the blockade that is partisan politics these days.
