The Loon Balloons are a perfect example of billionaires "fixing" problems from on high, literally in this case, without a hard look at what is happening on the real ground beneath them, where the solutions are daunting. The last I looked, most of P.R. had no power. So unless Google and Tesla will help to restore electrical services to most of the island, the people of Puerto Rico can watch the shiny balloons shifting with the wind currents in the sky above them. But too bad if they need to charge their phones. From: "DAVID J.
