for puerto rico as a whole, it's beneficial.

for individuals, it isn't.


And has anyone ever been to san juan? It's as if you took the bad section of every oceanside city, and combined it to make one.

Fuck the combo. I say yes. This is the first step in taking Cuba, followed by all of the Russian satellite countries. Ending with the coup de grace: Russia itself. This is only the first part of America taking hold as the ruler of the world.

i know this sounds terrible but puerto rico blows. They're super poor, their people are poorly educated, and there's the whole language barrier issue.

As bad as we are educated, puerto Rico is definitely worse. It would take alot of money to make it up to parr with the rest of us, it would be like joining a race halfway through and starting from the beggining. I say fuck that. The island is just gonna be mooching leach to us

You might learn to spell.

What makes you think it would be more spending, and not more income?

The fact that they have awful education, and its a very poor commonwealth. Explain to me why there would be more income, taking into account the millions if not billions we'd have to spend on them.

I'm too lazy but can someone investigate Puerto Rico's sources of income? I'm honestly curious cause that shit will be an interesting read.
