Puerto Rico is a super cool place and it sucks that it was devastated by financial leeches even before this hurricane came through and wrecked everything.

puerto rico is now literally an eldritch horror of the free markets, a ghostly parable of the evils of capitalism because all that investing should've paid off for the country with no tax laws towards capital gains so all that money should've trickled down to government assets like infrastructure right

now they're dead broke and they have loving nothing, the hurricane turned it into a third world country overnight

im appalled really, it just sunk in

Here's a solution: The investors lose their money.

It's an investment and that means it's a risk. Unfortunately, they lose this time. Try again next time.

quote:

There were plenty of reasons for the hedge funds to like the deal: They would be earning, in effect, a 20 percent return. And under the island’s Constitution, Puerto Rico was required to pay back its debt before almost any other bills, whether for retirees’ health care or teachers’ salaries.

quote:

These funds began buying up the debt at a steep discount, confident that this was a bet they could not lose. Not only were the bonds guaranteed by the Puerto Rican Constitution, but under a wrinkle of federal law, the island’s public corporations and municipalities — unlike those of the 50 states — do not have bankruptcy as a recourse.
