- toomuchtodo 7y agoIf you read the article, it clearly explains these weren’t Tesla failings, but systemic neglect and disregard for the equipment donated and deployed. Tesla can’t fix apathetic government and locals. There’s a reason Puerto Rico is in the condition it’s in.
- chillwaves 7y agoWhat reason is that?
- toomuchtodo 7y agoCorrupt government and an apathetic electorate. Not quite a failed state yet, but getting there. It’s a shame; the people of PR deserve better.
- Johnny555 7y agoCorrupt government and an apathetic electorate For a minute there I thought you were describing the USA - there's way too much corporate money in government and the electorate just doesn't care.
- SEJeff 7y agoYou did miss the one serious fact in that a lot of things normal states can do, because they have voting Senators and House Representatives, PR can not do. So they can't change a lot of things because it requires US Congress to let them. US Congress doesn't care as much about PR as the rest of the US, so they're in a hole they can't dig out of. Making PR the 51st state is one "fix" and the other is to let PR free of US tendrils. They voted last year that they wanted to become a 51st state, but the GOP has no interest in a new state made up of Latinos. Ironically, the people of PR are actually extremely conservative, but that might change electorally given the bile coming from the current conservative party.
