Stephan:   I have been following San Juan Mayor Carmen Yulín Cruz since she first appeared on the Rachel Maddow show right after Hurricane Maria.  She has always struck me as a very sensible local elected official deeply committed to the wellbeing of her community.  This interview puts flesh, literally, on the current data to give us the real picture on what is going on there. It is my view that the treatment received in Houston, Port Arransas, the American Virgins and, particularly, Puerto Rico, is something to which we should be paying very close attention. The failure of the Trump administration to deal with these crises is not only a disaster at this time, it is also a predictor of what we can expect if policies stay on their current tracks as climate change events become bigger, more frequent, and far more dramatic. Puerto Rico could very easily become San Diego, or Charleston, South Carolina. We are not facing reality.
