Puerto Rico, let's converse about SHTF.

Open the FEMA camps, Put the Ricoans in there!

 

There is no "CH-64". Navy and Marines have the old CH-46 (classic old unreps bird when I was aboard ship), the CH-47 Chinook heavy lifter, the UH-60 Black Hawk.
Bringing in the Seabees and their construction gear is good but will take time to clear the roads. The helos are critical to get supplies incountry. Same as with prior disasters. So, the amphib helo carriers are the best thing off the bat.

 

The photos of the myriad of Puerto Ricans out helping clean up the mess, taking things into their own hands to get the island up and running again are posted where?

 

Without cell towers all those selfies can't be transmitted. Once Geraldo isn't the only source, perhaps things will be displayed that look more effective? Yesterday he mentioned that all the power generation centers where at 100 % readiness, now all the bankrupted Power company needed was a way to distribute power to anyone. Wonder how many (haven't been employed in years by the bankrupt power company) lineman are lining up to work for the bankrupt power company and attempt to fix these problems without compensation?

Just remember that everything in Puerto Rico is Old and in need of repair, it is not a prosperous Island and there hasn't been enough money invested to fix or upgrade any of the infrastructure in decades. Geraldo recommended that Trump declare a "Marshal Plan" to rebuild Puerto Rico like Europe/Japan after WWII. Wonder how that's going to sit when the Military starts bulldozing Puerto Rican buildings to begin an efficient underground (buried cable) power delivery grid?

Let's think Mil.com. Power stations adjacent to ports, both sea & air. Hospitals next on the grid, then branching to co-located First responder's. Next central Government Buildings. Yup, civilian residences are the "Tail of the Dog" Not to mention that a Mil.com Power & Light establishment would have to be revenue neutral at the least, (probably profitable) so the impoverish population of the Island would be forced to pay the electricity bill or be removed from service. Does anyone believe that Mil.com would would still be supplying electrical service six years after bankruptcy?

COME ON MAN!!!!!!!

 

If you noticed, in the background were pallet after pallet of US aid that had already been delivered... it's her incompetence by living in a place likely to be hit by hurricanes and not ensuring that her city was as prepared as could be that is causing unnecessary loss of life. Obviously this was a hundred year event, but I bet there wasn't a single thing they did outside of warning their citizens. Hell, the hospital only had one genset to power one OR. What about ICU and the ER? How much fuel did they have on hand? DId they even test the genset every once in a while to make sure it would run and produce power when needed?

 

I lump her along with that contemptible idiot Ray Nagin.
Useless POS wasted federal funds to beef up infrastructure, then cried for more after Katrina hit.
She is of the same ilk.
Rebuilding them will be money flushed rown the toilet. Europe and Japan weren't already on US welfare. They had incentive to better their lot.

 

All any money is going to do is get put in the pockets of the bureaucrats .
Democrats and communists love this sort of thing , this is how that get richer.
I honestly don't expect that any out side help is going to be actually appreciated ,and more likely be abused.
Corruption breads more curruption no matter how badly the result are found .
I feel bad for the people being cultured in this mess and then paying the price for the leadership's curruption .
It's not like no one could see it happening , but I think it is a product of the UN agenda 21 . Reducing the world's population.

 

Sadly, it seems the shortage of truck drivers is related to UNION negotiations for a contract. The drivers are not working until a contact is signed.

I've never rally had a good opinion of Teamsters, but this is a new low, even for them.

I wonder if Trump will use RICO laws to affect a change of heart.....
