These are the same people that were screaming about Joe Biden weaponizing the government against them. But just like the Hypocrites they are, they are weaponizing the government against them
So we’re targeting the job market in blue states that sponsor these deep red hillbilly states with their federal money? We know Trump’s only experience is bankruptcy, but is this idiot going to plant recession seeds everywhere?
They should make DC and Puerto Rico states. But, we know they will go with your plan instead. How long do you think it will take them to totally destroy the Metro and bus systems then complain when the middle class can't get to the office?
making Puerto Rico estate would be an unmitigated disaster. It's going to open the flood gates for monsters like this to push out the local population. The only path for Puerto Rico to survive is to gain it's independence.
And decimate the puerto rican economy which is built on tax benifits of territorial status which will spur max exodus of its vital pharma industry sparking more poverty and mass exodus and more land to be bought up cheap by neocolonialist who openly mock us and wish the fate of hawaii on us. Hell no
Ok, then give them their independence. I just don't know what you would do with all the US citizens living there. And, I always thought Puerto Rico wanted to become a state.
As far as I understand/have heard for awhile, DC and PR have diff wants and needs. PR is much more reluctant to become a state, prob for the reasons above, but DC def wants it
It’s never been about efficiency. It’s tearing down the US strength, security, economy, health and education for the benefit of the tinpot war criminal and allow the uberrich to pick up assets cheap in a recession.

"'devastating impacts' to critical services, with potential layoffs and furloughs of teachers, police officers and other front line workers, as the city would have to cut 16 percent of its remaining funds this year to comply." good people are absolutely going to lose their jobs over this
