That's the only thing that counts to you, not to me Biggie.
I do agree that Puerto Rico could have been much better organized and prepared for emergency management, just like the U.S. could have been when Katrina hit and can be said of most countries.
I'm not sure you understand the infrastructure differences on an island or the power of Maria. Puerto Rico got smashed, which isn't easy to manage under the best direction.
As for the Virgin Islands, they too could have been better prepared, but that doesn't mean they didn't deserve U.S. assistance. In my opinion, the fact that European countries tied to neighboring islands acted so quickly with aid helped the U.S. Virgin Islands to get the same from the U.S. government.
I think both American territories and their residents equally deserve U.S. assistance under the circumstances.
