Cuba: Bring Your Own Electricity
No doubt Cuba has some beautiful beaches. But the country succumbed to communism, so vacationers are advised to bring their own electricity, as those who require government services may be required to do:
Cuban government offices in the city of Caibarién are only receiving individuals who “bring their own electricity” in the form of power generators amid Cuba’s near-endless blackouts, the Madrid-based outlet Diario de Cuba reported on Tuesday. …
Cuba’s derelict power grid, which had already forced Cubans to live through daily, near-endless blackouts in recent years, completely collapsed several times towards the end of 2024.
The Cuban regime has been partially propped up by Venezuela, which has the largest proven petroleum reserves in the world. But Venezuela is also ruled by Marxists, and consequently has its own energy problems.
In February, the Castro regime temporarily suspended all education and work activities for two days in a desperate effort to reduce power consumption in the country — while at the same time hosting a leftist book fair that appeared to be unaffected by the blackouts, unlike the rest of the country.
This goes well with the communist motto, “Let them eat ideology.”
Given that tens of millions have died of starvation under communist regimes, visitors to Cuba might also want to bring their own food.
