    The fact that we can't precisely account for an actual number of people who died in a hurricane and its aftermath is, in itself, a failure of government at both the island and federal levels.

        "We" could certainly have done so. The Trump administration, and the Rosselló administration, refused to do even the most basic necessary work to account for lives lost due to the hurricane, and the near-failure of a response effort.

        Maybe change "we can't precisely account" to "we refuse to precisely account"

        ..ordinary there would be a Federal study initiated to determine exactly why these counts are inaccurate and recommendations to correct.... ...but... Republicans consider all this unnecessary gobbledygook..

        I'm sure in your (imagined) world, it's the fault of #BothSides. Because that's the only thing you know.

        So are you suggesting the studies are wrong?

        Because you know the studies were commissioned by the Island government, because of its lack of resources to do an accurate count. So, what are you saying?

        Is this point supposed to negate POTUS’ theory or support it? With false equivalency takes like these, I truly understand how Birtherism flourished.

        Is it a matter of "can't" or a matter of "don't want to"?

        Many died in the remote areas of the Island. With no possible communications for months, the Government or anyone were not able to be notified. Only ones making an effort to get to those places were volunteers & some journalists
