What this is all about
Amidst the election coverage something was lost:
Puerto Rico passed a referendum to request statehood in the United States.

them unconscious and rifle their pockets for new vocabulary.''

Even though statehood won the referendum the party than won the election has announced that they will do absolutely nothing with it, since they support the status quo.

And even statehood supporters are aghast that their option won the referendum and yet they lost the election.

Living in this island is seven kinds of crazy sometimes.
“We can never undo what we have done. We can never go back in time. We write history with our decisions and our actions. But we also write history with our responses to those actions. We can leave the pain and the damage in our wake, unattended, or we can do the work of acknowledging and fixing, to whatever extent possible, the harm that we have caused.”

Oh man, I knew I should have invested in indigo and coffee production, but I didn't think Captain would come up this soon.
