You can own guns in the island legally, its just probably the most expensive place to get them thanks to all the hoops you have to jump to get one. Crime is pretty rampant right now, specially in the metro and surrounding areas. Cost of living hahahahaha its way more expensive to live here than it is in the states. Groceries are more expensive since everything needs to be shipped here, electricity is massively expensive, like 25 cents a kwatt. And god help you if you dont have an AC when the summer gets really going and it rains for 10 minutes to get the humidity to 100%.

People dont care if you are extremely white if you speak the language. Ive seen dudes over here that look like they came from germany but open their mouths and sound like a jibaro from 2 centuries ago. If you dont then you are branded a gringo. Basically you get treated the same but now have a nickname.

I have always wanted to visit Puerto Rico as my Spanish professor was from there, we heard many stories.
What is your opinion about the bill? I think it sucks, and the minimum wage garbage should be removed, but if it was the only way to stave off bankruptcy...

The 21k is for a public teacher. Thats literally what they get paid starting out. Imagine getting paid even less. Now if you google in English asking what the average teacher salary is in puerto rico you get like 50k. Thats not the reality of it.

What do you think can be done to prevent debt issues from happening again? Is it solely the corruption on the island causing these issues?
And why is pay so low in Puerto Rico, is it just a factor of too many people, not enough jobs?
