Thank you for the comment! I agree, PR has bulala problems. With regards to the Hurricane Relief, I think it's apples to oranges. Both are Commonwealths, but speed of relief could be based on so many other factors too.

Besides that, another thing is we're a relatively unknown entity to average Americans. If we need relief, there won't be people screaming "they're in debt and corrupt so why give them more" like PR's case. PR on the other hand, literally had POTUS screaming that into the news.

Replying to @Lani4Pasifika
I think we can agree to disagree here. I felt like offering people here a story of hope & a possible avenue to a speedier solution. You may sympathize with the military, but I also saw firsthand on Tinian in 2015 the limestone forest which was earmarked for artillery training.

I'm sorry your land was taken. I'm from Saipan, living on Guam, but also have land on Tinian, and family all over. This cause is close to my heart obviously, as an environmentalist, and a Chamorro.

But I was living in the states the past 2 years, so I saw how Americans felt about the situation in Puerto Rico in 2017. A lot of them echoed POTUS. I don't think PR stood a chance to get emergency relief in a timely manner with public sentiment like that.
