Puerto Rico remains 1. U.S. territory 2. Capitalistic, we still get blackouts every week. You don't need communism to have a shit power grid, you just need a government that cares more about genocidal israelis than it cares about it's own citizens.
The power in Cuba doesn't go out, all the contrary, it barely comes on. As a cuban myself, that was born and grew uo in the island, that's been happening ever since I can remember, and had been happening even before I was born, and I'm 38. For the cuban people, that's nothing surprising, that's their daily bread. And yes, so much for socialism and communism, all these systems bring is missery and chaos. And to think that here in the USA people are advocating for socialism, they clearly haven't read history.
I was living in Jamaica when the power grid went down Island wide. Apparently, an employee at the main operations building made a bad keystroke on the computer and accidentally shut down the power grid. It took about 12 hours to get the whole island back up and running.
@Nick210 I'm 68, and the brain doesn't remember so well. I'm going to guess it was about 8 years ago. Some places got power sooner than others. I've been going there for 51 years, mainly negril. And I spent 6 years in East Portland. The power goes out from time to time. One time, a guy at my gate in negril pulled out his gun and shot in the air. He hit the power line of all things. That took over 12 hours to fix. Power and water can go out at any time. You were obviously lucky not to have it happen.
No it doesn't there are short power outages for small amounts of time the same happens in California what is happening in Cuba or Venezuela is not even close to comparative.
@@DrSilktest7Puerto Rico is not a socialist country, it's a capitalist U.S. territory. For the slower ones: this means socialism is not the reason for the blackouts.

The US restricts the imports of such things into Cuba by threatening nations like Vietnam and states like Taiwan with sanctions for violating the 70yo trade blockade the US has put on Cuba, with that said, the lights in Cuba will be back on within a week, in that same time period Pueto Rico's grid will likely fail twice
It's Time for the Leaders of Cuba to negotiate FREEDOM with the US & Cuban People. Cuba would be a Vacation Destination for all. Let The Cuban People Live Free.
It would be alot easier to end the illegal blockade against the island and let the people continue to choose their own way forward as they have since 1958, ya know, not under the boot of US imperialism. Puerto Rico is a vacation destination for all, they have blackouts every week and the majority of the population lives in extreme poverty
Tell me again why is it we do not have normal relations with our southern neighbor Cuba? Because we have a differing of opinions on forms a government? I thought different points of view was encuraged in these U.S. BOTH countries would benifit greatly if we were to normalize relations. Whatever it was the US gov was trying to accomplish by treating Cuba so badly has not worked. Its time to give it up and move on. Like Afganistan. We gave up that war after 20 years. How long have we been abusing Cuba? Since 1960? Hell, that wasnt even this century. Get over it US gov. !

How did that work out for Batista I forget?

I do though, so I can bring it back to America.

We live in one as well you dumb dumb
They are socialist you foola
@sssmedia5262 go read a book, Einstein. Their political party is literally called the Communist Party of Cuba.
As soon as they find a hamster that is strong enough to turn the wheel the power will be back on.
Due to a food shortage they ate all the hamsters.

That's wild. Where I live we almost never have power go out longer than 2 hours
When was that? I lived in Jamaica for 35 years and NEVER been without power for 12 hours, even through and after hurricanes.

@Nick210 you obviously were not there after Hurricane Gilbert, and the recent hurricane in early July took out power for over a month in some places.
The power plant had the latest in 1950's technology.
Cuba applied to join BRICS. The next day the entire country is without power. Coincidence? You decide.
Happens in Puerto Rico every week, it doesn't make the news though.
Maybe because you built it crappy.
