Could not US sanctions have something to do with it?
And at least Cubans have housing, do not sleep on the streets like 'merrycans.
And it has sane leaders, unlike YouAsh

It's funny that you don't see homeless Americans trying to escape to
Cuba on makeshift rafts for a better life.  The article stated that over
100 nations don't have sanctions on Cuba.  Cuba outlawed guns, so the
people can't overthrow the shitty pseudo-Marxist white guy who lords
over them. Cuba is the Zimbabwe of the Caribbean.

And as to solar panels, how many thousands are without power every year in the US?
Just a little wind is all it takes to kill all your over-ground wiring.
I am in the Netherlands now, and most power wiring is underground.
Do have solar panels, a DC to AC pure sinewave converter and 250 Ah lipo battery backup anyways just in case.
Largest outage was 2 hours a year or so ago, just kept watching TV,
computers (5) just kept working, satellite TV the same.
Communication.. am radio ham, no problem.
So, for survival...

You are obviously well prepared for weather emergencies, as is your
nation.  As for Cuba, it was a thriving nation prior to Marxist Fidel
Castro's experiment with communism and his nationalization of American
owned companies without compensation in 1959.  He had support in the
U.S. for a brief period of time and was even considered a George
Washington style revolutionary figure.  It seems that several Democratic
Party mayors and governors in the United States want to take us down the
same failed path that Castro did in Cuba.  Not sure why you seem to be
upset by my post which paints a sad picture of Cuba today.

For the time being, at least, I support Elon Musk's DOGE and President
Trump's efforts to stop taxing Americans who work hard in order to
support illegal colonists that "Joe Biden" invited to invade our nation.

I do appreciate your comments. I have one gasoline powered generator, a
few modified square wave inverters and one pure sine wave inverter along
with a few lead acid batteries lying around.  Our Democratic governor
and the Democratic state legislature are trying to disarm the citizens
of my state, Fidel Castro style, as they fight President Trump over
deporting the Tren de Aragua gang members Biden imported to the U.S.
Having read your comments, I am motivated to improve and update my
emergency supplies.  A neighboring state still supports the Second
Amendment, so I may have to visit a gun store there soon to improve my
personal arsenal.

 I am not really into guns
That said, being an electronics designer I worked for the army and navy here, even did some stuff for space.
I am very familiar with the US, travelled all over it, and did some jobs there.
Went with a group of what was the word? 'hippies'
travelling in an old Volkswagen bus, from place to place taking jobs we found in the newspaper.
That sure makes you learn things about US culture and survival.
Got my visa cancelled when I tried to sneak into Canada,
got in jail at the Mexican border, was with the gangs in NY, most places I have been there.
So... have not been in the US for many years, last time was Denver IIRC.
Been camping in the wild nature in N America...
Am almost 80 years old now.. but still sometimes feel that thing to get a sailboat
and sail south....
CIA wanted me to work for them... I declined.
 Yesterday there was something on TV here about desperate US scientists who see their (sometimes beneficial for humanity) research cancelled by Musky.
I think they have demonstrations now in the US.
As to picking oranges: I did that too for a while.
Those science guys may flee to Europe ..
all their good paying jobs gone, less sales for the shops, end of the US empire?
Will Texas leave the union and join Mexico? Drugs are cheaper there,.
I stopped using drugs in the late seventies... Into chocolate now at times :-)
The smell of the stuff we smoked got into your closes at work,
people gave you that funny look, worked in the national TV network as technician for many years here, when the moon landings happened.
Interesting world, now Europe seems to want to re-arm
Germany borrowing a lot of money for weapons production.
Timeline:
Germany nuke test 2026
V4 launches to free America 2027
France invades Russia ??
 Personally I think we should make peace with Russia,
and US has to pay every European compensation for the extra they had to pay for gas after US had North-stream2 blown up.
CIA pouting oil on every unrest just to sell weapons (Biden way), makes wars everywhere.
Is there a cyclus in time (of very large) wars?
Some things I agree with, like Trump making peace in Ukraine, respecting Russia.
But Musky seems like / behaves like an idiot,
That already started when he asked people on Twitter if he should buy it.
If I design something or play on the stock market, I do not ask in a bar what I should do.
Now Musky may kill America...
His same mentality (and Trumps) causes inaccuracy and errors, his Startships crash again and again,
debris over populated areas, same for Starlink debris falling in Poland.
He (Musky) seems to be more into playing with his kids on TV than into giving guidance to his SpaceX.
Engineers would leave with a guy like that in control.
His only brain pattern seems to be firing people.
Boeing one problem after the other....
Airplane crashes one after the other,
And I see that firing thing now moving to the UK too, Starmer? firing the UK health care system?
 In short, the Roman empire no longer exists, after 'Carthago must be destroyed'.
 Same pattern.
 Planet of the apes, statute of liberty laying in the sand.
 So, where will it go?
History has some lessons.
 

I refer you to the Peter Principle.  The United States government has reached its maximum level of incompetence, as is the case for Democrat run cities and states within the United States of America.

I also refer you to Curtis Yarvin:
In 2022 Vox called Yarvin the “person who’s spent the most time gaming out how, exactly, the US government could be toppled and replaced”.
Yarvin suggests that a would-be American autocrat should campaign on and win an electoral mandate for an authoritarian program. They should purge the federal bureaucracy in a push Yarvin has anagrammatized as Rage (for “retire all government employees”).
They should simply ignore any court rulings that seek to constrain them. They should bring Congress to heel, in part by mobilizing their populist base against recalcitrant lawmakers. And liberal or mainstream media organizations and universities should be summarily closed.
Given the post-election period and Trump’s preparation for a return to the White House, Yarvin’s program seems less fanciful then it did in 2021, when he laid it out for Anton.
