Cuba’s Electrical Grid Suffers Complete Collapse

This may be it. If the Castros don't get on that plane to Sochi, Minsk or whereever (anywhere except for Cuba) then who knows what will happen to them. https://t.co/ahE84ms7kt

“A total disconnection of the National Electric Power System has occurred. Restoration protocols are beginning to be implemented,” Cuba’s electrical grid provider said on Monday.

President Trump told reporters on Sunday evening that he will finish dealing with Cuba “soon.”

“Cuba’s a failed nation. Cuba also wants to make a deal, and I think we will pretty soon, either make a deal or do whatever we have to do,” Trump told Bloomberg’s Jeff Mason during a gaggle on Air Force One.

“We’re talking to Cuba, but we’re going to do Iran before Cuba,” he said.

Congratulations to Cuba on reaching net zero https://t.co/OgGDkk1Uul

PAUL EHRLICH WOULD HAVE BEEN PROUD!

PAUL EHRLICH WON THE DEBATE: Just read the comments.

Responses to that 2021 article were similar: “Maybe fewer humans will help the planet and some of humanity survive.” “At an early age, I saw that the explosion of humans on this planet was ruining the world for future generations and all other living species.” “Mother Nature has an answer to her pressing concerns and we are not needed.”

And the New York Times published four letters in response to its latest piece on low and falling birth rates, and all four were against babies.

This isn’t unique to the New York Times readership, though. The Washington Post’s former letters editor wrote that many of her writers really thought people were bad.

Sure enough, when I wrote an op-ed in the Washington Post about how to make your life easier by having many children, the 6,000 comments were almost all negative.

“In this world of over-consumption having so many kids seems selfish. More than that morally reprehensible … relies on a patriarchal view of the family.”

“The planet is already overpopulated. The author’s disdain for science and the nature of exponential increase is obvious.”

The sad fact is that millions of people believe the planet is overpopulated. That view is grounded in a belief that humans are basically bad.
