When the answer is there – right there, right within grasping distance – and they just can’t get it:

Cuba’s power grid collapses again. Why does this keep happening?

That’s NPR for you, folks!

A perpetually failing communist hellscape that can’t even keep toilet paper on the shelves keeps experiencing major power outages. Why does this keep happening??

NPR:

It might have something to do with the fact that the country relies on a comprehensively discredited communist model of organizing its society, which has contributed to a completely vulnerable grid coupled with chronic shortages of everything.

The crisis began on Friday when one of the country’s largest power plants, the Antonio Guiteras power plant in the western province of Matanzas, failed shortly before midday on Friday. The failure prompted a total breakdown of Cuba’s electrical system.

Cuba’s prime minister, Manuel Marrero Cruz, blamed the problem on deteriorating infrastructure and fuel shortages exacerbated by Hurricane Milton, which has made it difficult for much-needed fuel deliveries to reach the island.

Don’t worry, though: The country declared an “energy emergency” and “introduced measures to reduce power use across the country — state workers were told to stay at home, and schools and non-essential industries were closed.”

That’s the communist way, folks: If your entire country is falling apart, you don’t re-asses the communist model and try something different. You just shut down your country!
