Puerto Rico's Recovery hindered by Government Funds being spent on the Mainland rather than in Puerto Rico.

Excellent article quickly explains the appreciated but somewhat muted impact that occurs when US Government funds are not spent in Puerto Rico to help Puerto Rico recover from Hurricane Maria more quickly or effectively. Instead, U.S. Funding is spent on the U.S. mainland to provide goods and services destined for Puerto Rico. I don't speak for Puerto Rico and I would imagine the help is much apprecaited, however the overall effect is somewhat muted if the funds are not spent in Puerto Rico.

This is the exact reason why RicoAmerica was conceived. I am on LinkedIn hoping to connect with Puerto Rico Decision Makers.

Puerto Rico Hurricane Maria from 2017 is being reported as causing the most deaths ever by a Hurricane.

RicoAmerica was created before the news of the total number of deaths from Hurricane Maria being revised upward to 2,975. 

Apparently 1,000 more people died in Puerto Rico than in the previous worst Hurricane death total from Hurricane Katrina. RicoAmerica is still in its infancy but I will keep promoting the concept of American Corporations creating skeleton teams that attempt to recreate their products presently being made outside of the U.S., in Puerto Rico as well. Hence the name, RicoAmerica.
