This time it’s American against American

Henry Morgan was based out of Jamaica during most of his career. He spent his time as a privateer–not a pirate–raiding Spanish towns. Today, his rum dwells in Puerto Rico, but he might be moving to the U.S. Virgin Islands if they have their way.

The two territories are in something of a spat, after St. Croix is offering Captain Morgan a sweetheart deal to move its operations, as well as its jobs, to the biggest of America’s Virgin Islands. This would mean taking jobs away from Puerto Rico, and locals are not happy about that.

Isn’t it cute when two little islands under our rule get in an argument? It’s like they’re going to break out the cap guns at any minute.
