I speak spanish too.
Is really sad seeing this. Reminds me of the times I lived in communism and the same they were rationalizing the food. I remember, as a kid, I was happy when ate the local (gov. controlled) shop were distributing sugar bonbons from Cuba. It was something special, imagine, some stupid bonbons were like luxury to find.
Bread was distributed only 1 per person/ day...
Terrible times, terrible. Sometimes I don't want to remember them.
If that seemed strange and sad to you, I invite you to see this other one. Even sadder

FFS why so expensive?
How Cuba is producing electricity?
reply
They are thermoelectric plants, which generate electricity from fuel and Cuban crude oil, in the case of the island where I live. They are extremely inefficient. There is a solar panel park, but they obviously do not generate enough. As consumption increases, you pay more for each kW used; when you exceed 500 kW of consumption, 25% is added to the total bill.

yeah power cut we had that too... several times per day.
But that wasn't because the country couldn't produce it or do not have resources. It was because the insanity of the communist control system in reducing the internal consume.
Fucking stupid. I don't want to remember those times.

Sorry @DarthCoin. I wouldn't want this to be happening to you. I didn't want you to remember that nightmare we are now living. But I need people to see the truth. Although I care more that those here know the truth, and the only truth is through Bitcoin and SN is a good source of knowledge.

no worry about me.
You are right, people must know about this terrible things, that still happening in this world.
I just wanted to some kind confirm what you say, even that I do not live in Cuba, I lived (survived) 20 years of a communist regime same as in Cuba, but that was quite some time ago...
I am still amazed that these things are still happening...
