Between the mostly lucky dodging Irma and facing Maria's wrath, I ordered a really cool jacket with a tiger on it.
Now, the point of this rant is not to showcase my Shenmue jacket. It's more than that. While it's been REALLY SLOW, we're still struggling to bounce back from Maria's wrath. The pics of San Juan's mayor deep in water are not Fake News. SOME SMALL AREAS in The Metropolitan Area are having a closer sense of normalcy, but there are communities WITHIN The Metro Area cities that are a disaster. It's great that President Trump is doing his duty by aiding American Citizens, but the response has been a bit too slow compared to other disasters. Hopefully, Governor Rossello will take Trump to the worst areas to show him how awful the situation truly is. (Supposedly, El Presidente is coming on Tuesday... and I'm feeling like making a Bison reference now.)
With that said, if you ARE sending care packages via mail, be aware that the entire system isn't working at 100%.
Any supplies sent from non-USA countries are forced to make a stop at the USA due to the Jones Act... which isn't being waived during the emergency.
If you're on the US, call your Representatives and put some pressure on them to not abandon American brothers and sisters, many who have fought for Uncle Sam and still do. Lives depend on getting help ASAP.
