The problems might be more than a simple change of leadership can fix.
The bankruptcy issue is deeper than that, with several administrations (since the 90’s) piling on debt to keep the illusion that everything was running hunky dory. So we know it will take time to solve, but by forcing a corrupt administration to resign we are, hopefully, sending a message that it won’t be business as usual anymore.
We just crossed the sea of reeds, now the wandering into the desert begins and hopefully it will forge us into better people.
If there is interest, I can try to give a summary of the economic issues facing the island, how they tie with our status as a territory, and how the U.S., sometimes by neglect, sometimes on purpose drove the situation to this point.

This message is a warning and a reminder for any surviving Jedi. Trust in The Force. Do not return to the Temple... that time has past. And our future is uncertain. We will each be challenged. Our trust. Our faith. Our friendships. But we must persevere. And in time, a new hope will emerge. May the Force be with you, always."
