"Naomi Klein's l(ooooo)ongread in The Intercept about the state of play
in Puerto Rico is the comprehensive summary of the post-Maria fuckery
and hope that has gripped America's colonial laboratory, the place where
taxation without representation, austerity, chemical weapons, new drugs,
and new agribusiness techniques get trialed before the rest of America
are subjected to them."

A long read about the latest installment in the continued assault on
Puerto Rico, where US citizens have suffered disproportionately poor
treatment for more than a century.

Cheers,
