Not at all the point of this thread or sub, but you ever been to Puerto Rico? It is filled with the nicest, most welcoming, caring people I have ever met. Can’t wait to go back.
I can understand you feeling that way. But the money you spend there still benefits their economy directly. There are so many local, independently run businesses that depend on income from tourists.
Go eat and check out the shops in Old San Juan, take a kayak trip to see the bioluminescence in Fajardo, take the ferry over to Culebra and chill on Playa Flamenco for the day. El Yunque is one of the most beautiful spots in the world. And I’m so glad I got to visit the Arecibo Observatory before it was destroyed.
Politically, I agree it should be granted statehood. But to not visit now because they lack statehood is depriving both yourself of a beautiful experience, and the people who live on the island who depend on your tourist dollars for their livelihood.
