THis is a tough one...
On one hand, it's true that Puerto Rico is heavily in debt, it's infrastructure has been crappy for a long time now, and that these helped contribute to the death toll.
However:
First, this is in part due to long-term neglect of the Island - similar to what we've done to the Virgin Islands or Guam (ever want to see something seriously messed up? CHeck how we treat people born there.), and to be fair, part of this is actually long-term belligerence or malice.
And what's more - the US military has plenty of resources that could, and should, have been brought to bear, and simply were not, thanks in part to Dolt 45. Even GWB sent in the military after a few days of the New Orleans disaster in Katrina. Toupee Fiasco's negligence was, no doubt, at least in part due to his open hostility towards Hispanic people, and this showed clearly from the very first few days when he began bitching about how expensive it was, and how the US simply couldn't cover it (totally unlike the massive tax cuts for wealthy individuals and corporations), and so forth.
But he threw some paper towels, and handed out canned chickens (after being persuaded not to toss those at people's heads as well), so we're to believe that he's great.
Word?
