The communist Castro dictatorship’s humiliation of the Cuban people knows no bounds. Facing dire food shortages and going weeks without running water, Cubans have been reduced to chasing water trucks down the street in the hopes of obtaining what has become a precious liquid on the island.
The water crisis in Cuba is a problem that has been dragging on for many years and that the Castro government is unable to resolve. The obsolescence of the conduits and pumping equipment in the hydroelectric plants, as well as an old infrastructure and lack of maintenance, contribute to this issue.
For this reason, the videos showing Cubans chasing water trucks to obtain the vital liquid are more likely to evoke sadness and indignation than astonishment, as was the case with the clip shared by user Yanko Mesa on his account on the social network X, where he denounces the lack of water in a Cuban town that he did not specify, but which may represent the everyday reality of Cubans.
In the video, several neighbors can be seen walking with buckets behind a water truck, including an elderly person with difficulty moving, while the driver did not stop to provide the water.
“It is incredible that we are in 2024 and Cubans do not have water even to bathe and have to be running after carts” for the precious liquid, Yanko wrote to describe the video.
It is hard to believe that in the 21st century, in a country that just 6 decades ago enjoyed a first-world economy with modern infrastructure, has been reduced to an impoverished and desperate hellhole. This is socialism in action.
Sure. Just like dogs chasing cars. Totally appropriate for glorified animals. Besides, it keeps them humble.
