The turmoil comes as Puerto Rico battles a 13-year recession, a debt crisis and tries to from devastating hurricanes in 2017.
What does that sentence mean? There’s no way Puerto Rico has been in recession for 13 straight years is there? The hurricane could have knocked economic output back to 2006 levels, sure, but that doesn’t make it a 13-year recession.
A quick Google doesn’t support the idea of a recession other than since the hurricane, though various other articles from 2 years ago refer to the “11-year recession”. I guess they just add 2 years to that for an update and that’s good enough sourcing.
Well from what I can tell, they’re referring to the “Government Development Bank-Economic Activity Indicator” which shows decline since 2006, though it doesn’t mean the economy is in recession just because that indicator is down. Other charts show a long decline in GDP growth rate, though that’s a derivate of GDP growth (which is positive until the hurricane) and doesn’t mean the economy is in recession.
I think the idea of a long PR recession was mentioned a few years ago and stuck, and until the island recovers, reporters are just going to keep adding to the number they see when they Google older articles about the hurricane.
Corruption in Puerto Rico is nothing new, and for a long time I’ve repeatedly said that the boy elected as Governor is in over his head.
I agree with Ricky Martin, Rossello is no leader and he should resign. He’s an embarrassment and none of those jerks that participated in that chat should be in public office.
As for the macho remark, Ricky Martin is more of a man than any of those losers!

When you look at how Puerto Rico exists, as nominally part of the USA but with certain aspects of democracy nullified, you get a view of how conservatives and big business would ideally like to run the entire USA.

The atrocity of their chat aside, this is a good example of why public officials shouldn’t use chat services for their informal discussions. Even on a secure service, it can and will be leaked by someone.
