Power goes out on entire island of Cuba, leaving 10 million people without electricity
[quote]The electricity went out Friday in Cuba, affecting the entire island's population of 10 million after one of its main power plants failed, according to Cuba’s energy ministry. On Friday evening, authorities announced power had been restored to about 20,000 residents of the capital, Havana, which has a population of 2 million.
Russia's gone (taking a $30 billion hit in debts), Venezuela is too broke to help, and China has now withdrawn as well after not getting anything in return for their $10 billion investment. And no, this isn't just the US embargo, Cuba simply isn't a reliable trading partner.

Tough shit. I'm old enough to remember the Cuban Missile Crisis as a child. Karma, baby.

They wouldn't even do the basic minimum of economic reforms that China asked them to in return for their investment, and are now rolling back the economic freedoms already achieved. Cuba's a lost cause.

Sugar production has plummeted and that's their biggest export commodity. In the past, they could trade it with Russia for oil, but that titty has dried up.

So many hot papis caught in that hellhole. And they're all packing, too. Imagine all the hot OnlyFans content we'd be getting if that place got its shit together.

Havana has some high rises. I hope they have community spirit and help each other out.

You know you're in rough shape if China gave you terms and conditions for help and you couldn't meet them. China is the place where authoritarian dictators who can't get western aid due to human rights abuses, severe corruption or conflict go for support. As long as a country doesn't recognize or establish relations with Taiwan, that's usually enough.

Communism seems to be working out well for them. I'm betting none of the political bigwigs or their favored friends are experiencing any power outages. Maybe one day the brain dead populace will reach the point they've had enough and revolt against the crooked dogs.

A woman I worked with from Ecuador traveled to Cuba and said that while life is nice enough for the small percentage of elites, life for most people (that she was able to see) is terrible and everything - everything - is for sale, including pimping out kids. But at the same time, there's this almost North Korean like mentality that the west/US is out to get them. So maybe the place is a lost cause at this point.

Time to organize an "Electricity for the Freedom of Viewing Big Cuban Cocks on OnlyFans" Live Aid extravaganza with contributors getting 3 months of free access to content from Hot Hung Cuban men as a reward. The entire island would be lit before sunrise.

It is often disheartening when your social media site is revealed as a clearing house for the ignorant blabbering of mean and small minded people People who consider themselves hip, yet who get their news from naked propaganda streams and consider themselves clever and informed.

Is there anything in life that you are able to see not through the prism of your partisan politics?

I'm laughing because there probably are guys who already do or could in the future produce OF content. But that takes electricity and a stable internet connection.

Only Fans is probably banned in Cuba. I don’t know. Maybe not but I imagine there is some type of limitation on creating content because you can’t make your own capital in Cuba. Maybe they can access it but can’t upload content.

Their population has doubled since the 50s which is crazy. You can't really expect to sustain a uniform quality of life with limited resources without near-absolute control over both the resources and birth rate.

R28, predictably, is an ignorant cunt.
I travel in Cuba. Online hookups are easy and there are numerous ways to run a private business. "Make your own capital," of course, is a nonsense term.

R30 I never said hookups weren’t easy. Onlyfans is not hooking. As far as private businesses whatever doing they are doing they are doing it under the radar as it’s not legal. I imagine your circle of friends in Cuba are wealthy with resources. We all know American dollars speak and police/government can be bribed or whatever. The regular Joe cannot make money from an onlyfans page unless they are extremely crafty. You cannot even own personal things in Cuba without the government’s approval. You cannot trade a motorcycle with a homie. All transactions must be facilitated by the government.

Only fans is not hooking up*. Fucking typing fast but it’s important to know that’s what I meant.
