the Cuban government is now referring to a "genocidal blockade" -- which is absolutely will be if it is allowed to persist. Cuba is not at war with anybody yet we are starving them...because why?

Thursday. •Adjust fuel sales to the public until the situation normalizes. •Continue developing domestic oil production. 🚚| Transport Sector •Ensure fuel for port and airport operations, imports/exports, and the transport of vital cargo (food, fuel, medical supplies). •Reduce the Nueva Gerona–Batabanó ferry frequency to two trips per week (Tuesdays and Saturdays). •Extend the frequency of national passenger trains to once every 8 days (starting February 8). Temporarily suspend other rail services. •Reduce national bus departures, maintaining a basic daily service from Havana.

•Use telework as the main modality, with limited ICT support due to the energy situation. •Prioritize strategic research and development projects remotely. •Ensure completion of studies (final exams, thesis defenses) for students close to graduation. •Reorganize the admissions process for Higher Education. •Postpone the “University 2026” event. 👩🏿‍💻| Labor and Social Security Sector •Issue no new labor regulations, applying existing contingency rules. •Promote telework and remote work modalities. •Adjust work schedules according to the needs of each workforce. •Reassign workers to key economic activities or areas of social interest. •If necessary, apply temporary work interruption with guaranteed pay equivalent to the basic salary during the first month. 🚜| Food and Water Sector •Increase food production at the territorial level, prioritizing productive hubs with the greatest potential. •Promote alliances among all forms of productive management (state and non-state) to address commercialization and prices. •Use Renewable Energy Sources (RES) in food production. •Allocate fuel to guarantee essential water pumping. •Concentrate industry on producing and supplying chemical products for water treatment.

If you want a sense of how dire the situation is in Cuba now, here is a list of the measures the Cuban president says the nation has started taking to try to keep people in nursing homes and hospitals alive while Trump & Rubio choke the island of essentials, which the Cuban gov't is now referring...

Props. I’ve noticed this behavior a few times before. It’s like they can’t see their performance is simply a cheap trick to fuel their own ego. When they aren’t proactive or communicative, then the relationship is purely parasitic. Cheers to you, good luck eliminating that bs from your everyday

Haha yeah, I wasn’t sure about including it… but figured I’d put it there since i went over 10 anyways.🥲
