I live in Santurce and I've noticed that the newspaper kiosks on Calle de la Estación no longer sell printed newspapers at 6am. I'm curious to know why this change was made, especially considering that a large portion of the population in Puerto Rico are older adults who might be more likely to buy printed newspapers. Is it because they've lost money on printing costs, or because they think there's no demand among older adults?

I've been running a small surf school in Santurce for 9 years, and I'm now considering two job offers. One is a full remote position with a local company, paying well and allowing me to work with colleagues from Puerto Rico. The other is an on-site position with a US company, paying 10% more but requiring me to rent or commute daily to the metropolitan area and work with teams from the US and India.

I've been noticing that my orders from Amazon take a lot longer to process and ship to Puerto Rico than they do to the mainland.

I pay the same Prime membership price as people on the mainland, and I'm wondering if anyone else has noticed this issue.
