Where are the stories about volunteers pitching in to help in Puerto Rico?

Washington Post:
‘It’s not a good-news story’: San Juan mayor slams administration comments on hurricane response

“This is a life-or-death story,” Carmen Yulín Cruz said after the Homeland Security secretary reported that relief efforts to Puerto Rico are “proceeding very well.” The territory has struggled without electricity, drinking water and medical supplies since Sept. 20, when Maria stormed through.
This may be unfair, but it sounds like liberal whining rather than leadership.  The docks of Puerto Rico are chocked full of relief supplies and boats are waiting in line to offload more but there appears to be few local people pitching in the help with the distribution. 

If this person is the mayor, where is her organization of employees and volunteers?  That is what Sylvester Turner did in Houston.  During hurricane Harvey, the longest lines in Houston were for volunteers to help with those in the shelters.  There were volunteers pulling people from flooded homes all over Houston.  I have not seen similar stories in Puerto Rico. It could be happening, but the media may be awol when it comes to finding them.  If it is not happening that is a story too.

At this point, this mayor seems closer to Ray Nagin than Sylvester Turner.

Should Republicans go ahead and add Supreme Court Justices to head off Democrats

Washington Post: Some Democrats eye adding more justices to the Supreme Court to change its ideological bent The once-remote idea has gained the attention of liberals angered by the GOP push to remake the federal courts. Probably the easy way to defeat this court-packing scheme is for Trump to propose doing the same thing now.  It would lead to Democrat denunciations and claims that it would be wrong, thereby blowing up any attempt by them in the unfortunate event of Democrats winning a presidential election.

29 % of companies say they are unlikely to keep insurance after Obamacare

Conn Carroll: A new survey of 368 midsize to large companies found that 29% of them are considering terminating their active employee health care plans when Obamacare is full implemented in 2014. Only 71% of employers surveyed said they did not expect to drop their health coverage, while 20% said they did not know and 9% said they were planning to exit. The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t...

Is the F-35 obsolete?

Headline USA: Pentagon Fires Back after Musk Calls Its Most Expensive Project ‘Obsolete’ 'Yeah, as I'm sure you can appreciate, Mr. Musk is, currently, a private citizen, I'm not going to make any comments about what a private citizen may have to say about the F-35....'   ... ... Drones appear to be replacing jets for many operations.  The Russia-Ukraine war is an example of that.  Drones are often hard to detect and can be used for intelligence operations as well as for attacking enemy targets.  It would not surprise me to see drones engaging other drones in combat.  They also cost much less than manned fighters.
