Hey, so, not really the type of posts I make here, I generally try to keep real-world stuff out of this blog, but this is an issue i hold close to me.
Hurricane Maria hit Puerto Rico 3 weeks ago, and it’s no exaggeration to say that the island is practically destroyed. To recap: Most of it is still without power, & it could still take months for them to get it back, this creates so many nightmare scenarios, especially for hospitals. The island already had many economic issues before this and Maria made it absolutely worse. So much infrastructure is completely wrecked and roads destroyed.
Not to mention the government response has been nothing short of a trainwreck and nightmare, just going to say that straight up. It’s important to mention because things are certainly going to get worse there before they get better, and the response has been way too slow, it’s maddening. (Remember, Puerto Ricans are AMERICANS too)
News outlets are already moving on from Maria and Puerto Rico, but that doesn’t mean we can allow ourselves to forget about it, it’s easy to forget that Texas and Florida are still recovering right now at this point, that’s especially the case for Puerto Rico too, and i feel and worry we’re moving past it while people are dying and suffering in such a horrible humanitarian crisis over there.
