@@ScoobieSwisher7413Biden released the billions that Trump refused to use to rebuild Puerto Rico. unlike Trump, Biden actually walks the walk. In 2021, President Biden unlocked billions of dollars in disaster funding and enacted historic expansions of economic and healthcare assistance programs for Puerto Rico. Since then, the Biden-Harris Administration has built on these unprecedented investments to ensure Puerto Rico has a strong foundation for sustained growth. President Biden’s Investing in America agenda - including historic legislation such as the American Rescue Plan (ARP), Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL), CHIPS and Science Act, and Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) - is delivering results and bringing good jobs to the island. Puerto Rico is now a more attractive place for companies to invest, expand, and drive U.S. competitiveness. For example, Biosimilar Solutions Inc. is investing $200 million in Aguadilla to establish world-class facilities dedicated to research, development, and manufacturing of biosimilar therapies. Bipartisan Infrastructure Law funding has already provided $1.1 billion for dozens of infrastructure projects across Puerto Rico. That includes approximately $596.1 million for transportation - roads, bridges, public transit, ports, and airports - and $185 million for clean water. The Puerto Rico government also invested its ARP State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds in important projects, including $223 million for water infrastructure, $100 million for road repairs, and $279 million to repair school buildings damaged by the 2020 earthquakes. And as of May 13, 2023, more than 600, 097 households are receiving affordable high-speed internet. Finally, under the Inflation Reduction Act, new possibilities for offshore wind are opening up along the coasts of Puerto Rico, allowing the Department of the Interior to explore wind lease sales in prime areas.

Where are all the FEMA mobile manufactured homes, that FEMA is suppose to have stock piled in various locations.

[@theontologist]

1. FEMA exhausted many of them for other disasters -- previous hurricanes and wildfires -- and the GOP refused to provide any funds to replenish them, despite worsening disasters. 2. Debris has to be cleared before manufactured homes can be installed. 3. Manufactured homes must be installed well above ground in flood zones. 4. Manufactured homes don't make sense when families are staying in hotels and planning to rebuild their home. GOP militias' death threats against FEMA workers are slowing reconstruction.
