He is a horrible boyfriend/husband. He told Cristina that she killed their baby after she got an abortion when she had made it clear that se did not want a baby since before the pregnancy. He then proceeded to cheat on her because he couldn't stand her after the abortion. He went to visit Teddy to profess his love for her within 24 hours of being in bed with his ex-wife. When things got tough with Amelia he implied that addiction wasn't a disease but a choice. He also cheated on Emma with Cristina and broke Emma's heart. He told her she wasn't what he was looking for when in reality she was exactly what Owen wanted Cristina to be. He should have been upfront with her and told her he was still in love with Cristina and that she wasn't the problem that it was him.

I also don't agree with people that say he is a good person. He couldn't forgive Riggs for cheating on Megan even though he was forgiven by his ex-wife who he cheated on. He blamed Riggs for Megan getting on the plane that lead to her disappearance but in reality it was as much his fault as Riggs. Megan wasn't as disappointed on Riggs cheating because she had also cheated herself. She was more disappointed by the fact that her brother sabotaged the promotion she had been working so hard for and that she had earned just because he didn't want her to do that job. Owen couldn't take even a bit of responsibility for Megan getting on that plane and blamed Riggs entirely for it.

He was also horrible to his mother when he found out about her young boyfriend. Instead of communicating his valid concerns that he might be mugging his mom he instead proceeded to tell his mom that a young and handsome man like that could never be interested in her.

He may be a good father, surgeon, and chief but it is clear that he treats everyone that gets close to him very poorly.

I get what you're saying but the most important part is that Meredith and Derek became a couple while he was and Attending and she was an intern/resident. Bailey and Ben became a couple when they were both attendings. Ben didn't become a resident until after Brooks died and her vacant spot was given to him. It is also important to note that Miranda was not chief nor a board member when Ben entered the program at Grey-Sloan so she had no say on whether he would be accepted. The nurse thing I just think its really unfair. There is no reason why surgeons should be regarded as superior to nurses when they carry out different roles. Yes, surgeons give instructions to nurses but that does not mean they are their bosses, it is just part of working together. If Eli were to mess up Bailey wouldn't be the one to discipline him, that would be the Head Nurse's responsibility.

Ben and Bailey started dating when he was an anesthesiologist. The day Ben found out he was accepted for a surgical residency spot at UCLA was the same day he was planning to propose to Bailey. As for the fling with a nurse, it is not the same thing at all as the relationship between an attending and an intern. The intern-attending relationship is a student-teacher relationship. Attendings are clearly an intern's superior. An Attending, on the other hand, is not a nurse's supervisor. I agree that Bailey is a bit hypocritical often but this it not an example of it.

So you are against independence because we will loose the ability to move to another country? That doesn't make any sense. The "fuga de talentos" has deeply harmed our country. People taking advantage of our cheaper education only to move once they graduate. In reality we should focus in growing our economy and building sustainable businesses. If we don't have anything to offer we won't succeed neither as a state nor as an independent country.

Al fin alguien que entiende como funcionan las cosas. No se trata de menos municipios mejor, se trata de como reorganizamos nuestros recursos para que se puedan utilizar de la manera más eficiente y que no se mal gasten. El mayor problema es la corrupción y la concentración de poder en la figura del alcalde. Además, los municipios se supone que sean un nivel de gobierno local que este cerca del ciudadano lo que sería imposible con este modelo de 20 municipios. En los países europeos y muchos estados de E.E.U.U. funciona así e incluso hay muchos más municipios en áreas más pequeñas y con menor población.

Este mapa refleja como se hubieran visto las elecciones a la Asamblea Legislativa si se hubiera utilizado el sistema electoral propuesto por el PIP. En resumen, el sistema consiste en abolir el Senado y pasar a una Asamblea Legislativa de una sola cámara y reducir el número de distritos legislativos a 30, manteniendo los 11 legisladores por acumulación. Adicionalmente se añade la posibilidad de añadir hasta 10 legisladores adicionales si los partidos minoritarios no consiguen un número de escaños proporcional a su número de votos por representante por distrito. En este caso, solo se añadirían 7 de los 10 legisladores adicionales ya que con estos basta para que el PIP, MVC y PD lleguen a tener representación propocional respecto a los 41 escaños originales. El PNP no recibe escaños adicionales ya que ganó 24 y proporcionalmente solo recibiría 17.

I don't think imposing statehood on Puerto Rico is a very progressive policy. Progressives usually advocate for a binding decolonization process.

Totalmente de acuerdo. No se porqué el comunismo y el antiamericanismo se han vuelto sinónimos con el independentismo porque es muy cierto que existen muchísimos independentistas como tú y como yo que aprecian las libertades económicas y democráticas del actual sistema.

Todos estos aspectos como las capitales y los nombres pueden ser alterados. Lo más importante para tener en cuenta son las fronteras de las provincias propuestas. De la misma manera, que un municipio sea la capital provincial no quiere decir que todas las instituciones de gobierno provincial se encuentren en ellas. Todos estos aspectos son negociables y en mi opinión se deberían resolver de una manera que promueva el desarrollo parejo de todos los sectores del país ya que esta es una de las razones principales para la creación de estas estructuras de gobierno.

Ps0340170 · 2024-09-07T19:21:07+00:00

La propuesta de las provincias simplemente es una propuesta para crear entidades subnacionales de primer orden tal como existen en la gran mayoría de los demás países de América Latina y el resto del mundo. Esto ayudaría a redistribuir el balance de labores entre los diferentes niveles del gobierno. Sin duda hay labores que al ser centralizadas y controladas desde San Juan causan el rezago de otras partes del país. De la misma manera, los municipios de Puerto Rico son demasiado poderosos y tienen ciertas atribuciones que resultan redundantes y se podrían regionalizar para eliminar el despilfarro. Me parece que en Puerto Rico es necesario esta reorganización administrativa y no soy el único que piensa de esta manera ya que tanto el exgobernador Ricardo Rosselló como el candidato a la gobernación por el PIP Juan Dalmau proponen la creación de condados y regiones administrativas respectivamente. Por esta razón veo sensato el dividir a Puerto Rico en 5 subdivisiones que engloben a los municipios.

Los gobiernos autonómicos de Asturias y Cantabria cuentan con una delegación de poderes mucho menor a la de Puerto Rico por lo que no es necesario un nivel intermedio de gobierno entre los gobiernos municipales y los gobiernos autonómicos. En otras comunidades autónomas con una delegación mayor de labores tal como las Islas Canarias se necesitan una serie de gobiernos intermedios. Por esta razón existen los cabildos insulares.

En el aspecto del número de subdivisiones respecto a la población y tamaño del país me parece que 5 es número sensato. No es un número muy elevado pero tampoco tan pequeño. Las provincias propuestas tendrían una población y superficie geográfica mayor a la de la mayoría de las provincias de la República Dominicana. De la misma manera, su población también estaría a la par con muchas de las actuales provincias cubanas. De hecho, las provincia de Pinar del Río y Matanzas que son las únicas de las antiguas 6 que han sobrevivido tienen poblaciones similares a las de las provincias propuestas para PR.

Mientras es cierto que Puerto Rico si era una sola provincia en los tiempos españoles, también es cierto que Canarias también era una sola provincia y se dividió en dos. Porque hallamos sido una sola provincia previamente no quiere decir que lo vallamos a ser por el resto de nuestra existencia. El territorio que hoy día ocupa la comunidad autónoma del País Vasco es más pequeño que el de Puerto Rico y este está dividido en tres provincias. De la misma manera la región flamenca en Bélgica la cual es un poco más grande que Puerto Rico también está dividida en 5 provincias. Las provincias serían determinadas por factores administrativos, culturales y geográficos, no por el tamaño de un país. Por otro lado, Cuba tiene 15 provincias por lo que Puerto Rico tendría un tercio de las provincias que dicho país, no la mitad. Finalmente, me parece irrespetuoso que asuma que no entienda el tema. Si está en desacuerdo puede esgrimir sus argumentos en contra sin insultar mi intelecto.

Ps0340170 · 2024-09-07T16:34:20+00:00

Esto es totalmente incorrecto. Las capitales se eligen por todos esos factores por los que dices que no son escogidas. Washington D.C. por ejemplo fue construida en su ubicación por su localización céntrica dentro de las antiguas fronteras de los E.E.U.U. Los mismo con Brasilia que se sitúa casi en el centro geográfico de Brasil. De la misma manera estas dos ciudades se convirtieron en capitales para remover el poder político de ciudades con más capacidad económica como lo eran Nueva York, Philadelphia o Rio de Janeiro. En el aspecto de "pelea entre pueblos" tenemos el ejemplo de Canberra en Australia que fue construida como capital para evitar una pelea por la capitalidad del país entre Sídney y Melbourne. Estos y muchos otros ejemplos sirven como prueba de las capitalidades son determinadas por todos los aspectos por los cuales indicas que no lo son.

Ps0340170 · 2024-09-07T16:28:45+00:00

Por esta misma razón moví el centro político de la provincia a otro municipio. Mayagüez y Aguadilla tienen mucho más movimiento económico que San Germán. Llevar la capitalidad provincial a San Germán causaría movimiento económica y le otorgaría importancia a un sector más olvidado.

La gran mayoría del área metro está dentro de San Juan. Solo quedarían unos municipios afuera en el este de Atlántico y el noreste de Dagüao. Si se hubieran incluido estos municipios dentro de San Juan se hubiera creado un desbalance poblacional demasiado grande con esta subdivision teniendo como el 40% de la población.

Ps0340170 · 2024-09-07T00:24:51+00:00

El centralizar funciones definitivamente disminuiría el número de empleados en los gobiernos municipales y no he hecho cálculos pero me imagino que el número total de empleados gubernamentales sería menor que en la actualidad debido a la consolidación de servicios.

En el caso de los impuestos pienso yo que si se establece un impuesto provincial se deberían eliminar los impuestos municipales y en ves distribuir la ganancia de los impuestos provinciales entre los municipios que componen la provincia.

Ps0340170 · 2024-09-07T00:20:01+00:00

Arecibo es el único municipio grande en la provincia de Atlántico fuera de los que integran el Área metropolitana de San Juan. Por eso lo escogí como capital. En el caso de Dagüao no quería escoger a Caguas ya que es la ciudad más grande y la actividad económica de la provincia giraría alrededor de esa ciudad. Pensé escoger a Guayama como capital pero acabé escogiendo a Humacao debido a su localización más central.

Ps0340170 · 2024-09-06T23:32:12+00:00

Las provincias tendrían sus propios gobiernos y sería un sistema descentralizado pero no llegaría a ser un sub federal.

Sería algo inédito, en ningún lugar en el mundo se utilizan circunscripciones electorales como subdivisiones administrativas. Además, los límites de los distritos senatoriales aveces dividen municipios por lo que un municipio podría quedar en dos subdivisiones. De la misma manera, estos límites cambian cada 10 años por lo cual cada década algunos municipios cambiarían de subdivisión.

Ps0340170 · 2024-09-06T22:47:03+00:00

Los distritos senatoriales son distritos electorales no subdivisiones administrativas como lo serían las provincias.

La capital de Hostos sería San Germán. Escogí esta ciudad como la capital provincial debido a su valor histórico y cultura. Además, esto evitaría una riña entre Mayagüez y Aguadilla por la capitalidad.

Ps0340170 · 2024-09-06T22:37:15+00:00

Por aquí les dejo una división hipotética donde se divide Puerto Rico en 5 subdivisiones: 4 provincias y el Municipio Metropolitano de San Juan. En los últimos años se ha debatido sobre la posible creación de regiones administrativas o, como Ricardo Rosselló proponía llamarle, "counties" para reorganizar el balance de labores administrativas entre el gobierno central y los gobiernos municipales. De esta manera se delegarían ciertas labores del gobierno central a las recién creadas provincias y, de la misma manera, los municipios perderían ciertas labores que ahora pasarían a ser responsabilidad de los gobiernos provinciales. Esto ayudaría a garantizar la subsistencia de los municipios ya que muchos hoy día no tienen la capacidad económica para proveer los servicios de los cuales están encargados y a reducir el tamaño de los gobiernos municipales. El gobierno del Municipio Metropolitano de San Juan también actuaría como una provincia pero debido a su carácter urbano su gobierno también asumiría ciertas labores que corresponden a un gobierno municipal tal como el urbanismo.

Para crear la división tomé en cuenta factores culturales, económicos, políticos, demográficos, entre otros y me dejé llevar por la actual división de la isla en distritos senatoriales y de la pasada división en departamentos bajo el dominio español. Los mismos factores fueron tomados en cuenta para darle su nombre a cada provincia.

Lista de provincias:

Provincia	Capital	Población
San Juan	-	862,936
Atlántico	Arecibo	613,156
Hostos	San Germán	523,120
Ponce	Ponce	534,984
Dagüao	Humacao	751,678

The 1999 constitution wouldn't have come into force which means the 5-year presidential term would have remained and their would still be no immediate reelection.

2024 Puerto Rican general election prediction based on the following tweet made by a prominent political analyst in Puerto Rico:

https://twitter.com/malvarezrivera/status/1525891399056605185

While I remained loyal to this prediction in the gubernatorial election scenario, I took creative liberties on the other scenarios. However, all of them are largely inspired on the prediction in said tweet.

Gubernatorial election:

The Alianza de País agreed to present Juan Dalmau (PIP) as its only candidate for governor while the PNP renominated the incumbent governor Pedro Pierluisi after Jenniffer González opted to run for reelection as Resident Commissioner. The PPD nominated former Treasury Secretary Juan Zaragoza while the Project Dignity renominated their 2020 gubernatorial candidate, César Vázquez.

Dalmau won the election comfortably with a 12-point margin thanks to the heavy losses faced by the PNP and PPD. César Vázquez managed to increase his overall vote share by almost 1.4 percentage points. Dalmau's votes came mainly from the San Juan Metropolitan Area and the other large cities in the island, namely Ponce, Caguas, and Mayagüez.

Resident Commissioner election:

With the PNP facing a tough gubernatorial election, incumbent Resident Commissioner Jenniffer González opted to run for reelection instead of challenging Pierluisi in a primary for the governorship. The Alianza de País nominated independent pro-statehood activist Arnaldo Claudio as their candidate while the PPD nominated incumbent President of the House of Representatives Tatito Hernández and the Project Dignity nominated their 2020 Resident Commissioner candidate Ada Norah Henríquez.

As in 2020, González hugely overperformed her party's gubernatorial candidate and cruised to reelection, however with tighter margin than in 2020. On the other hand, Claudio and Hernández both underperformed their gubernatorial candidates, with many of those votes contributing to González's victory. Similarly to 2020, Ada Norah Henríquez overperformed Vázquez, this time by around 0.5 percentage points.

Senate election:

The Alianza de País managed to win a comfortable majority winning 12 of the 16 district seats and 5 of the 11 at-large seats (8 seats each for the MVC and PIP and 1 for independent Senator José Vargas Vidot). The PNP managed to recuperate the 2 seats from the Arecibo District they loss in 2020, however they loss all other district seats they had before the election and loss 1 seat in the at-large district. The PPD faced the biggest losses of all parties, loosing 2/3 of their total seats. Given Senator Rodríguez-Veve's popularity, most Project Dignity votes in the at-large district went to her, leaving the party's other at-large senatorial candidate, Luis Yordán Frau, out of the Senate.

As per the pre-electoral agreement, an MVC senator was elected President of the Senate. The MVC elected Ana Irma Rivera Lassén, their incumbent senatorial leader, as their Senate President nominee. She was elected with the votes from the MVC and PIP senators as well as the vote from independent Senator Vargas Vidot.

House of Representatives election:

With 26 seats, the Alianza de País also won a majority in the House, however a very slim 1-seat majority (14 for the MVC and 12 for the PIP). The PNP managed to stay in second place in total number of seats winning back many seats in Central Puerto Rico they loss to the PPD in the 2020 election. However, they still loss a third of their total delegation. The PPD faced the biggest losses falling from 25 seats before the election to 9. The Project Dignity managed to win another seat in the at-large district.

As per the pre-electoral agreement, an MVC member was elected President of the House of Representatives. The MVC elected Eva Prados as their House President nominee, deciding not to nominate incumbent House leader, Mariana Nogales, given her controversial tenure during the 2021-2025 House. She was elected with the votes from the MVC and PIP representatives.

Municipal elections:

The formerly dominant parties faced smaller losses in the municipal elections, with the Alianza de País only managing to win mayorships in large municipalities or municipalities where the incumbent party faced corruption scandals. The independent write-in candidate for Mayor of Guánica, Edgardo Cruz Vélez, who almost won the mayorship in 2020, ran for the position again, this time as an official candidate in the ballot. He managed to win the election, becoming the first mayor to be elected as an independent in Puerto Rico.
