It is pretty obvious what the plans are for Puerto Rico. Just look at the Gulf Coast post-Katrina. Private residences were razed (those not destroyed in the storm) and in went all the resorts and high rises. Playgrounds for the rich. I suspect they want to turn PR into the modern equivalent of Cuba/Havana pre-revolution and Castro. High end real estate for partying rich and criminals surrounded by low-cost labor to staff the resorts.

This is what "bringing on the revolution" looks like. A lot of people will suffer because of privileged assholes like Klein who told us that a mainline progressive Democrat and lifelong public servant was worse than Trump. Surprise!

Seriously though, why is it that anyone, no matter how admired before, is now a devil for simply giving their opinion that things could be done better in the Democratic party. You know, after losing so many elections, big and small, all across the country? That maybe, just maybe, the top down, corporations-first pivot they morphed into, was not the correct way, and that they should go back to a more grassroots approach?
