My elderly neighbor needed a computer to do accounting, I set her up with Mint on a T430 w/ LibreOffice and told her I’d giver her free support till the laptop died.
5 years on and the only time I’ve had to fulfill my side of the bargain was when her printer was out of paper and she couldn’t find her eye glasses to read the error message.
How’s voting working out for the Puerto Ricans? the Cherokee? Creek?, Sioux? Iraqis? El Salvadorians?
whether you vote for Drone’Bomba’s war mongering fascist or Putin’s war mongering fascist… doesn’t matter to the people you enslave.
like chickens coming home to roost, all that evil shit the USA has been doing is coming around and you ALL deserve it.

I’m sure the full service tourist hotels and resorts accept US & Canadian dollars, Euros and Yen. When I was there we exchanged dollars for Cuban Unified Currency at 1:1 rate. I traded us currency for pesos with the images of Che but tourists all spend CuC.
Most of their farm land is devoted to cash crops, tobacco, coffee, sugar, the trifecta of colonial slavery. They still run steam trains on sugar cane farms on the west side of the island, there’s ancient soviet tractors working the fields too.
that’s why they stacked the supreme court, to dismantle the USA, maybe they’ll stop all the colonization and genocide instead of engaging in “business as usual” … right?
What goes around comes around… the USA has been going around spreading shit, it’s coming around.

in a Missouri USA they pump water up a hill then drain it back when demand increases, it’s a rather large system. In Al’Abama an individual is using underground salt water tanks to store hot an cold salt water for HVAC and electric on his farm.
personally… I use solar electric to drive a 10k/btu AC and scavenge the unit’s waste heat as a food dehydrator, storing food is also storing solar energy and the AC keeps is pleasant indoors.
I blame the help, they feed this man, they protect this man while he sleeps, they raise his offspring, theirs is the corruption the keeps this system in place.
power goes out 12 times a week, water’s on for only 5 hours a week, internet drops out every 2 hours, (only alternate option is musky), no cops, no fire dept, no schools, trash is just piled up with no plan whatsoever, no public transit, more superfund sites per sq mile than any state, more taxes than in the USA, … hurricanes, earthquakes and narcos.
if you knew all that, why would you choose Puerto Rico?
This is one of the reasons Havana is safe af and San Juan is high crime zone
safe but tolerates 0 dissent or unsafe and protests in the highway chased the governor off the island (and it’s still high crime and fucked)
