Literally Puerto Rico is still under the responsibility of the U.S. government. You WOULD NOT see the government respond to white suburbaners with no fucking power for weeks with this:
[ video is Puerto Rico riots because of austerity cuts that are very severe. There are riot police everywhere. ]
The austerity cuts are to pay off all the debts and build back anything that was ruined. “In most macroeconomic models, austerity policies generally increase unemployment as government spending falls... Austerity measures are used by governments that find it difficult to pay their debts.”
The U.S. is the richest Empire in the world, it spends 20,000$ a second on maintaining this supremacy around the world. Yet it can’t find money to fix a few things in it’s own State. Hmmmm. Sounds deliberate.
