Random thought popped in my head.
It think itd be a net positive for the US if they became a independent country. |

I watched a documentary about it. Their women really like America.

I've often wondered that myself and I've always come to the same conclusion. Puerto Rico should be given back to Spain.

It has strategic value for our country’s defense. Beyond that it’s a drain on our overall economy.

It would look like the Dominican Republic if it weren’t for the mainlands teet.

Ah yes. I was also just thinking that we should give away the last remaining territories of our former colonial empire.

You wanna talk "Insurrection?"
In 1954 five puerto rican nationalists attacked the US Capitol with guns, shooting into the gallery from the balconies up above. They hit several people including five members of congress but nobody died. |

A guy i worked with was from Puerto Rico. He said most people there were okay with being a territory. The nationalists tend to forget that the country is poor and would still be dependent on the US during disasters.

Yes, it’s a waste of money for US. |

We keep it as a coal fired boiler refuel station, and Naval Air Station to land airplanes at to refuel.
Oh wait, we might need to rethink this one. |

My company has an electronics manufacturing plant site down there. It’s kind of a shit show. I can only imagine there are significant tax advantages to being there.

The US should take over Cuba, Bahamas, DR and build out its territory. Also Canada.

I like how Puerto Ricans talk shit about "colonists" even though they are "colonists" who genocided the original inhabitants.
Their culture and heritage is literally just an offshoot of Spanish culture. |

Many American politicians love the welfare state.
Every person I have ever met that has family that was born in PR but who was born here identifies as Puerto Rican and not American. Even my seasonal neighbor identifies as being Puerto Rican despite the fact that he was born here and served in the US Army. Apparently the PR tax man does not talk to the IRS because he sold a building in PR for a huge profit and no one in either country asked a single question. |

I went to a really nice resort on the beach there about 20 years ago.
The 30 minute bus ride there from the airport was through pretty much shit hole the entire way. |
|
I've spent many a day and night in PR. It wasn't until my 5th trip there that the locals let me drive a car around by myself. Up to that point I was always driven everywhere by one of the locals.
