It's gotten so bad and ridiculous that people are actually calling for the US military to intervene. They could have those containers shipped out in just a few hours.
Ironically, this is now going to blow back in the PR leadership's face. They've shot themselves in the foot to spite Trump.
The mayor of a Puerto Rican city that sits next to San Juan praised the administration's help Saturday night, and chided the "politics" of San Juan Mayor Carmen Yulin Cruz, who has been criticizing President Trump.
In an interview with Secrets, Guaynabo Mayor Angel Perez Otero said that in several meetings with FEMA and U.S. military officials about the recovery effort, Yulin Cruz has been absent. "I've seen other mayors participating. She's not," said Perez Otero.

Some of your information is right, but you have no the whole picture yet.

After seeing all those pallets and containers-why can't we use military helicopters to deliver the survival supplies-especially if they are blaming blocked roads and trucks?
Those poor people. Couldn't we send cruise ships over also?
Seems to me there are some better solutions than bickering and the news just doesn't cover much but the bickering.

I just very dumfounded about the miss information that the news media in the US are feeding the rest of the people.
I actually have seen them lying in front of my eyes showing pictures of areas that I am familiar with and know that they are just sensationalizing things.
For a while the news kept showing a building in San Juan from the 1600s that the hurricane devastated, The truth is that San Juan is full of beautiful buildings from the Spanish era and they are all fine and well, in the 70s and early 80s was a big restoration of old buildings in the area that my father was one of the experts call for to participate in that restoration.
That building that the news kept showing over and over was an abandon building that has been empty for over 25 years crumbling away.
I have come to the conclusion that the media in the US can not be trusted, is full of BS and sensationalism.
Doesn't matter. The impression and reactions have already been made.

This is what the manipulators count on. The initial reaction will be all that's remembered no matter how many facts show up afterwards to discount the erroneous spin placed upon events.
Seen it happen a million times and the only thing that's remembered is the initial reaction, not what was shown to be wrong later.
