At least he tried to read sometimes. The fact that Bush struggled his way through school, Yale, and a Harvard MBA with his God given intelligence should inspire all of us. The fact that he made it to the Presidency even though it took longer for him to learn and absorb things than other people is a remarkable.
Puerto Rico is getting ready for the national strike on Thursday, October 15. Since governor Luis Fortuño layed-off about 17,000 government employees the first week of October, there has been tremendous mobilization from different sectors of the civil society: workers and members of trade unions, women, environmentalists, students, and professors, among others. There have been multiple demonstrations and acts of civil disobedience to protest the economic policies that the government has assured are necessary due to the financial crisis. In total this year, the recently elected government has laid off around 25,000 public employees.
In the last months hostility has grown between the government and different civil society groups: eviction orders in socially and economically disadvantaged communities, police brutality, and the dismantlement of community initiatives such as the Fideicomiso del Caño Martín Peña. There have also been a string of comments from government officials considered offensive and insensitive, such as the now sadly famous "such is life", and more recently, when the Governor's designated Chief off Staff Marcos Rodríguez Ema compared demonstrators to terrorists.
Yes Maracatu this is always the answer to the economic problems, less for the people. However, I understand you have no aversion to capitalism and its insipient elites.
