Electricity is our friend. Fishy grifters, not so much Now that the media have been shining a light on that hinky-looking $300 million no-bid contract to rebuild Puerto Rico's electrical grid, more questions are being asked 'bout how the contract was awarded, Congress is looking at an investigation, and Puerto Rico's financial oversight board is talking about
Really?? 84 men? Let's see, an island of 3.5million people, and 3500 square miles. Well, I'm no mathologist, but that's 84 into 3.5 million, carry the naught, that's...for 300 million dollars???!!?! WTF?
This is NOT a Bunch of Incompetent Criminals running a Con.Just a Few Politically Well Connected "Entrepreneurs" Draining the Swamp.In the Wrong Direction. Can't let a Perfectly Good Natural Disaster go to Waste.
Also, Whitefish has to carefully insulate every pair of their workers’ gold-plated coveralls to prevent electrocution.Not only is gold damned heavy, but it's a great conductor of electricity. If memory serves, that's one of the reasons satellites and space probes are so expensive, as some of the more sensitive electronics contain gold.
It's a ridiculous choice, but those seem to be the only kind of choices we like these days.
Rarest squid. So far, only one has been found. Damn good thing. Cephalopods are scary creatures. Well developed brain, eyes quite similar to ours, and absolutely terrifying mouths. More of a calcareous algae person, myself. Though, cephalopods are awesome for doing detailed biostratigraphy in the Mesozoic.
This seems similar to the situation in Afghanistan that was on TRMS, the governor of an area is requiring people in blown up towns to use his cement bricks instead of the rock they want to use. Little Puerto Rico, already broken with debt and damage is going to get flim flammed by these guys, zeinke doesn't know. #SAD
Its just so blatant. They aren't even trying to give an appearance of rectitude. Its all "hahaha, suck it bitches! We're getting ours!"

And they don't even have the trucks yet.
Hey!! That's my cousin Jeremy with the paper. And those are my lawn chairs!!!!
Sell your country for nothing, get your grift for free.
The term is kakistocracy
Best get rid of sole source contracts too
Overhead power lines require a lot of ... overhead.

Just when you thought carpet-bagging was confined to the postbellum South ...

"Maybe Restoring Puerto Rico’s Electricity Running America Shouldn’t Be Handled By Jerkass Grifters"
Oh, Darn -- too late.
That was my thought too.
Plus it's close enough you can fly home on the weekends.
