In this edition of MyM, (a very sick) Austin and LeRoy sit down with Puerto Rico based journalist and Latino Rebels Caribbean Correspondent Carlos Berrios Polanco to discuss his on the ground perspective of activism in Puerto Rico. We begin with this week's shooting of an activist by private security guards in Aguadilla and the context of the confrontations. Carlos breaks down the latest round of privatizations of Puerto Rico's electricity and natural resources. We finish off by discussing where Puerto Rico is going: Colonialism, changing of popular attitudes, Capitalism.
