Every time I check the news it always something about Luma, the lack of water in San Juan, or something about the governor.

But I have yet to here anyone talking about arguably the biggest issue going on in the island: the population crisis.

The overall population has declined roughly 17% since its peak in 2004, from 3.8 million down to 3.2 million.

The median age in 46 years old, compared to the United States media of 39 and 31 years old globally.

The birth rate is almost the lowest in the entire world, at 0.9, far lower than the 2.1 replacement level.

As the population continues to get older and more Puerto Ricans leave the workforce once they qualify for social security, who's going to be left to work? To maintain the infrastructure? To pay taxes? To take care of the elderly?

There's a reason why so many young Puerto Ricans are leaving the island to go to the US mainland: there are no opportunities here for them. Even if you do manage to get a college degree, you're barely making $15/hr. And it's not like living here is cheap. Groceries prices are high, electric rates are insane compared to the US, fuel prices as well. And if you're not blessed to be living with a relative or have inherented their house, you're stuck paying high rent prices too.

So why aren't people speaking up more to improve the quality of life and generate new opportunities for the future of Puerto Rico? I suspect part of it is because the older generation simply does not care. They have everything they need: were lucky enough to get a home and land when property was dirt cheap, lives off social security and gets food stamps. They don't live the struggles that young Puerto Ricans have to live daily. They think it's easy to get a high paying job. They're completely unaware of what it costs to rent an apartment, how much a beat up used car costs now. The only thing they're aware of is the increasing electric rates so that's what they end up complaining about.

The mentality of the island needs to change and it needs to change NOW. Because in a decade if things continue to progress like this, mainlanders will be buying up property left and right and this will become their home, not ours.

A pesar, la 🔥calor🔥 intensa, disfrutamos nuestro encuentro lol

Saludos amigos y amigas,

Espero que se encuentren bien. Estoy tratando de comunicarme con el Dept de Estado en la isla para ver si me pueden contestar una pregunta relacionada al certificado de la ciudadania puertorriqueña. Tengo aspiraciones de relocalizarme a España en mi retiro en el 2030 si todo sale bien. Ya tengo todo listo para enviar por Fedex. Mi pregunta es si el cargo de $15 por enviar el certificado a Estados Unidos se puede pagar con un giro o money order? Esto no esta claro en los requisitos.

Los certificados que vayan a enviarse fuera de Puerto Rico o Estados Unidos de América, conllevarán un cargo adicional de $15.00 por manejo y franqueo.

Gracias mil!

Me encantan los conciertos, fui a el de "Avenged Sevenfold" hace tiempo. No se donde es el mejor lugar para encontrar promociones o lo que sea. Pueden ser cuentas en social media o apps o lo que sea.

(Primeras dos fotos es el estado actual y últimas tres es cuando el skate park estaba en su peak) En Arecibo hay dos skate parks, uno en la marginal y uno al lado del hospital pavia y ninguno de los dos se puede usar de noche a menos que quieras usarlos mientras está a 100 grados y el cemento esté que arde. Me encabrona tanto por que es algo tan sencillo que atraería a tantos jóvenes a querer patinar y ejercitarse pero no invierten en el mantenimiento teniendo ya una infraestructura con un espacio amplio para acomodar a tantas personas e incluso volver a hacer eventos como antes. Me estresa por qué es algo tan fácil como arreglar el breaker y limpiar un poco el área pero en cambio tenemos un espacio con tanto potencial echándose a perder como todo el resto d Arecibo

Hola todos! I am a filmmaker , I would love to be able to do this full-time and I'm looking to build my portfolio and capture a 2-3 min video of Puerto Rico's culture, this or next weekend.

I have tried contacting musicians, drummers, dancers but it's been super hard to get any answers - which is understandable - people can be skeptical.

I'll be flying in and would love to find some interesting cultural stories to tell. It would be a 2 hr filming session and a 10 min interview and the video would be shared on my YouTube channel and IG page. Also, you can use the video on your social platforms too. Anyone up for a collab? 🎉

This is most likely San Juan, puerto rico. But i would appreciate having the exact location. Thank you

Saludos a todos

Hello, I have been thinking doing a dna profiles in G24 basing on genetica studies or references by different municipalities or regions in Puerto Rico. They are going based the iberians, African and indigenous differing by regions. But I really good references to do that. Do any of you know or can recomend where to find it. Constructive criticism are welcome. Alguna idea mi gente con esto?
