Your caution against lumping the US into any other group of states surely also applies to PR's economy. What European nation is subject to equivalents to the Jones Act, the Jones-Shafroth Act, the federal limits on Medicaid funding, PROMESA, federal prohibitions from declaring bankruptcy, and special tax codes like the ex-section 936?
For that matter, what does it mean that "Europe ruined itself"?
- redis_mlc 6y agoI can't tell if you're sealioning, or just ignorant. So I'll be charitable and assume you're just ignorant, being HN and all. Half of the most-western EU members, including Italy, Greece and Spain, essentially give all their tax receipts to former civil servants (like PR does.) That would be bad enough, but after the African economic migration to EU states, another burden of an additional 10% has been added to total welfare payments in most of those countries. So they're ruined economically. The EU doesn't need the Jones Act, since they keep shooting themselves in the feet. There's a long (about 10 pages) 2019 interview/expose with PR officials. If I find a link, I'll post it.
