It’s time to re-think—and ideally repeal—the Jones Act
It severely hurts hardworking Americans, especially in Hawaii, Alaska, Puerto Rico, and parts of New England, by sharply increasing prices on almost everything they buy
It hurts the poor while further enriching a small handful of extremely wealthy families
@mcuban Are you drawing a parallel between Trump, Project 2025 and the Republican Party & Harris-Walz, “their policy” and the Democrats?
Would you please define what you consider her “policies” to be and how you perceive Dems are falling in line?
Vean aquí la realidad de cómo los responsables de cuidar y preservar nuestra cultura la tienen abandona
La Cultura es más que un reconocimiento o un premio. Más que un viaje para firmar acuerdos colaborativos.
Esa es la responsabilidad de aquellos que “dirigen” el Instituto de Cultura Puertorriqueña
La Cultura Puertorriqueña tiene sentido y emociones. Vive y late pero sobre todo tiene la humildad de un pueblo lleno de alegría y gallardía de haber defendido su identidad a pesar de todos los intentos de querer borrarla.
Ahora estamos frente a otra forma de querer no solamente desaparecerla sino también hasta cambiarla.
Pero les digo que decenas de hombre y mujeres en el ICP que no se dejan. Y seguirá la lucha por preservar lo que somos.
Boricua de pura sepa, puñeta!
In America, where we abandon our elderly in nursing homes because just leaving them in the forest is illegal. So we shouldn't be surprised when they turn to the Fox News family as a replacement for their actual family.
«La humanidad empezará verdaderamente a merecer su nombre el día en que haya cesado la explotación del hombre por el hombre».
Son palabras del escritor argentino Julio Cortázar (1914-1984), a quien recordamos hoy al cumplirse 106 años de su nacimiento.
Dave Carroll was a singer-songwriter and a member of the band Sons of Maxwell. In 2008, he flew with United Airlines from Halifax to Omaha, with a layover in Chicago. He checked in his Taylor guitar, which he valued at $3,500, as part of his luggage.
Upon arriving in Omaha, he discovered that his guitar was broken, apparently due to mishandling by the baggage handlers. He contacted United Airlines to file a claim, but faced indifference and bureaucracy. They informed him that he had missed the 24-hour window to report the damage and was not eligible for compensation.
In his attempts to escalate his complaint to various managers and executives, he received no satisfactory response or resolution. Frustrated, he decided to take matters into his own hands and wrote a song called “United Breaks Guitars”, recording it with his band and posting it on YouTube.
The song quickly went viral and had a significant impact on United Airlines' reputation and customer satisfaction. Within four weeks of the video's release, United Airlines' stock price fell 10%, costing stockholders about $180 million in value.
