Cuba experienced a total power failure Friday, according to the U.S. Embassy in Havana.

The embassy said the failure was due to the "collapse of Cuba’s electrical grid."

According to Cuban regime media, the reason for the collapse is under investigation and the timeline to restore power is unknown."

"All U.S. citizens in Cuba or planning to travel to Cuba should be aware and plan accordingly. There are reports of cellphone and internet outages," the embassy added, noting that Cuba’s electrical grid is "increasingly unstable," which has led to "multiple" nationwide power outages in the last few months.

Someone should shut off NYC for a few days to give them a taste of the upcoming fun.

Socialism in action.

And that’s exactly where California and New York are headed. And maybe also the rest of the country, if the DSA folks get their way.

But, wait. “This time it will be different.” That’s what every socialist has said for the past 150 years. And they’ve been wrong for the past 150 years.

Not a very good track record, actually.

“Real Communism has never been tried” that’s another good ‘un.

Oh, sure. It’s failed every time up until now, but next time will be different.

Just another example of what Mamdani calls the “warmth of socialism”!

To see into the future look into the past for speed bumps.

The “we’re all equal” commie leaders of Cuba have generators to keep their parties and feasts in the light... only the little people will suffer - as is true in all commie hellholes.

For a bit of amusement, here's some travel lunacy ---

"Let's be honest, major cities worldwide are becoming ever more identical. Whether you're in central London or downtown Bangkok, you're almost sure to stumble across the same major brands and outlets in malls worldwide.

"Thankfully, we still have Cuba, undoubtedly one of the most culturally well-preserved travel destinations on Earth. Here, you'll discover a society like no other, surrounded by truly epic natural beauty. This singularity means that traveling to Cuba brings subtleties that you may not have encountered on previous trips." Welcome to Cuba More than you imagined A website owned by Looking Glass Capital, in New York.

Travel to Democrat heaven.... /s
