Great article! Kudos to the white hat hackers who pulled off the repair, and the company that hired them. We should be able to fix our own stuff, always!

I'm not a native English speaker, so there may be some nuance I miss out on. But as far as I can tell, the implication of what you wrote was

  • "Cuba is isolated because it wants to be"
  • "Doctors are fleeing Cuba in large numbers"
  • "Conditions are bad in Cuba"
  • "The US gets alot of doctors from abroad"

I have good knowledge on point 1, limited knowledge on points 2&4, and somewhat decent info about point 2. I'm not disputing points 2,3&4.

It's very misleading to say that "Cuba is keeping itself isolated". Each year the UN votes to end the embargo/isolation imposed on Cuba by the US, with the vast majority of countries voting in favour of ending the blockade each time.

In the latest vote, in November, only Israel and USA voted against ending the blockade. Ukraine abstained. 187 member states voted in favour of ending the blockade

Make no mistake, the US is what has kept Cuba unjustly isolated for the past decades. Source: https://news.un.org/en/story/2023/11/1143112

The US sees anything that could shake their narrative of the world as a threat, even when that 'threat' is unfounded, and they massively abuse their economic and military power around the globe to keep others in line.

Indeed, what good is all that public health spending when health corporations and orgs are determined to maximize profit, and no authority is willing to curtail their efforts

Hey Jeff, it's a good idea to scrub the timestamp parameter (?t=160) from any video links like that to avoid the video starting at the end, like here :)

Do you have a union at your workplace? Please consider striking in solidarity with the striking IFF workers.

Is IFF employing union-busting tactics? If so, do unionized workers elsewhere have the legal right to refuse working with IFF, even without joining in a sympathy strike? (This is the case in Norway, but I'm no US expert)
