Now, about four months after Hurricane Maria walloped the hell out of Puerto Rico, the government estimates a third are still without power, clean water, & food. Many Puerto Ricans estimate those without power at closer to 80-percent. But tomorrow the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) will end emergency water & food deliveries because ‘giving free water & food means families are not going to supermarkets to buy’. The functioning of capitalism cannot be fettered by a category five major hurricane. Commerce & supermarkets (even with empty shelves) must go on so the economy doesn’t collapse & socialism doesn’t rear its ugly head. Makes you weep. But do you think racism might be massively involved?
