  1.  @mikesiciliano210  Colonies exist to be exploited. There is no way around it.

  2.  @mikesiciliano210  It’s not a State of the US and it’s not a Sovereign Country. So Colony.

  3. The Waves only apply to the USA. The rest of the world has been on wave 4 for over 200 years now.

  4.  @mikesiciliano210  The Federal Income tax not extracted via the pay office is extracted through other taxes such as Maritime and added costs to goods.

  5.  @mikesiciliano210  It’s not a 1600s colony. It’s a modified colony. Puerto Rico has never been free since 1493. And since 2016, the Island does not govern themselves. As a colony that it is, in 2016 the US Congress appointed a Manager to run the Island’s finances. The Law even says that this Manager can make any decision it wants without even consulting the Governor of PR. Nobody in PR was consulted about implementing PROMESA, nobody in PR could vote yes/no on the Law. Purest definition of a colony right there. The concept of PR being a colony is recognized by Congress and the Supreme Court.

  6.  @mikesiciliano210  Yes a Colony. Not a State, Not Sovereign. There is no other status. The inhabitants have no say on what they want as a sympathy according to the Territorial Clause of the US Constitution. Only Congress has full authority to free, sell, cede, or incorporate its Territories. PR is currently Unincorporated since 1898, and no changes have ever been made to that territorial status.

  7.  @SurmaSampo  There are sovereign nations, and there are non-sovereign nations under the control of a sovereign nation. There is no in between.

  8.  @SurmaSampo  The US Supreme Court, the Executive Office, the UN, have all recognized PR is a Colony. It’s common knowledge. When the US Citizens in PR get to vote for Trump/Kamala, and also have Representation in Congress, then it will no longer be a colony. Or the US can also grant sovereignty to PR which only requires simple majority vote in Congress to do so according to the US Constitution Territorial Clause.
