desperatecuban··on Cuba suffers nationwide power outage
There is no fuel. The power plants are also old and constantly breaking.
desperatecuban··on Cuba suffers nationwide power outage
This year about 55 solar parks of ~20MW each are supposed to join the network. I think 4 or 5 are operating already. The daily demand is of 3000MW with a deficit of 1500MW, so the whole country never has had electricity at the same time for the last few months.

desperatecuban··on 10% of Cubans left Cuba between 2022 and 2023
Im in a similar situation than GP. Leaving can be expensive and dangerous, more so if one does not have support on the other side. I have people that directly depend on me (little kids, elderly parents) and not just financially. Some people may say "you can help them better when you are out, send remittances, get them out too" but its just complicated.

Yeah, you can assume :)
desperatecuban··on Ask HN: What would you do with $1M?
Buy a house to get out of this crumbling building (15-30k).

Equip it with solar and a nice home office (maybe 10k tops).

Buy house nearby for parents.

Find struggling friends and help them.

Donate to some FOSS projects.

desperatecuban··on Ask HN: Is fulfilling but lower-paying work worth it?
Try low-paying and unfulfilling. I make $800 a month writing cruds and dealing with awful legacy code.
