Cuba plunged into an unprecedented blackout after its entire electrical grid suddenly suffered a total collapse on Monday, briefly leaving roughly 10 million residents in total darkness.
“At 1:54 p.m. local time, there was a disconnection of the national electrical grid resulting in a complete power outage across Cuba which includes the Havana metropolitan area,” the U.S. Embassy in Cuba said.
The nationwide outage comes just two days after a large crowd of protesters, fed up with the island’s energy crisis, were caught on camera attacking a local Communist Party headquarters in Cuba, ransacking the building and attempting to set it on fire.

Cuber needs a transformation to personal liberty and then to building a society based on the fundamentals of classical western civilization.

That’s what happens when you don’t participate in Daylight Savings Time. 🤷

Like every good Commie, Fidel Castro implemented massive rationing as soon as he took power. Food, power, everything. Today, many regular Cubans will not be so radically affected by the further lack of power.
The only item that was not rationed was the ability to leave Cuba. For decades, anyone attempting to leave Cuba were shot. In a boat, raft, inner tube, or just trying to swim away from the Cuban Gulag. Those trying to escape all received a full ration of lead.
Why?
They just reached net zero. Congratulations.

Generations of Cuban refugees are waiting to reunite.

As lefties, they should have been the first to go solar.
