Since Khalaq apparently closed the other thread, here we are.

On Monday, however, U.S. District Judge Gustavo Gelpí—a George W. Bush appointee—issued a shot across the bow that throws the legality of this federal abuse into question. In a fiery ruling, Gelpí accused the federal government of unconstitutionally discriminating against Puerto Ricans, violating their equal protection rights by withholding disability benefits owed to mainland residents who are from the island. Gelpí concluded that the Supreme Court’s recent marriage equality decision eroded the old, racist precedents, guaranteeing Puerto Ricans the full privileges of citizenship. His decision could mark the beginning of an earthquake in federal law—one that could finally limit the federal government’s ability to abuse the territories.

I've been meaning to ask you (I've fallen a bit behind in whatever updates you've posted), but how's things going for your brother?
Any improvement in his situation over there?

Due to the state of the island, my brother's company closed their San Juan location and moved him to their HQ in Chicago last spring.

Unfortunately, a lot of similar economic flight occurred during 2018 and this has only exacerbated PR's ongoing issues.

Last customers being reconnected to Puerto Rico power grid

"One year and six months relying solely on a generator that if the gasoline runs out, we don't have power," said Culebra resident Grace Monel, adding that people were hit with several outages a month that have damaged home appliances. "It has taken so long."

She said she now worries that the electrical grid is still fragile, noting that two major outages were reported on the main island of Puerto Rico this week alone.

...

The Atlantic hurricane season starts June 1 and Sepulveda said the grid is not ready for another major storm. If one hits, “We will experience something similar to what happened in 2017,” he said.

honest question, tz: why "in the throat"? ... i mean, why not "his face", "his head"...

The throat is a much easier target since no one defends it.
It's softer tissue, can lead to extreme trouble breathing, and is a much more efficient way of taking down an opponent.

In this case, though, it's more because it prevents speaking for a long while afterward. ;)

I don't do threads.

I don't want to take the jobs of shit-posters, copy/pasters, and white-list farmers. Then they might actually have to play games or do something productive with their time.
