#Rickyrenuncia: Bowing to popular pressure, Puerto Rican governor Ricardo Rossello has resigned

Because we haven’t quite reached the point where 51% or more of us feel they have nothing to lose. The people in PR figure they can’t fall any lower so they may as well do this. They can spend all day protesting because either they have no jobs at all or they have jobs that pay so little they can’t live on their pay anyway. They don’t have to worry about going home because either they have no homes or their homes are so awful there’s no point going there. They’ve become heroes - by the real definition of ‘hero’ in the military sense. They’ve been so sick, tired, hungry, thirsty, dirty, muddy, hot, dusty, lied to, abused, fed up and fucked over for so long they just no longer give a damn.
