    why not oppose US colonialism and support Puerto Rican independence instead of statehood?

      25% of their GDP is federal money given by the US government and they have $37 Billion in public debt. Independence would demolish their economy right now. They would need a long onramp (or offramp, as it were) to make that work, but if it’s what they wanted to do, I would certainly support it.
