Don't Want All Those Brown People Having Equal Representation (sh.itjust.works)

Context: Donald Trump spewing bullshit about annexing Canada and Greenland. Meanwhile, Congress has been dragging their feet for YEARS on resolving Puerto Rico's territorial status.

Citizens living in US territories do not receive equal representation in congress. For instance, PR has one "delegate" to the House (not an official voting member) and no senators. Taxation without representation.

Although, at this point I wouldn't blame PR if they changed their minds about wanting to become the 51st state.

Believe it or not.

I don’t know much about the state of healthcare there and nothing about how health coverage or insurance works, but from stories after the hurricane, it appears hospitals are much less equipped or accessible. A significant investment in technology and medical offices seems beneficial.

I’m certainly willing to be called wrong by anyone with first hand or more complete knowledge
