The worst thing that can ever happen, especially to our family members, is that when our men and women die because of recklessness.
What disturbs me, is that with this report, was that there was warning signs, and warning signs were missed.
We can update the AAV all we want, but it is, you know, really, you know, dumb muscle usage instead of actually, you know, brainpower and management.
The fact is if Puerto Rico were a state, there would be no financial control board.
