People fleeing communist countries en mass sure is a mystery. Who could ever know why they built the Berlin Wall or why Cuban families risk their children on rafts to get to a capitalist country
So did the United States untill very recently, what is your point? Advocating for Communism isnt Advocating for a return of the USSR you absolute ham sandwich.
People move to areas with better material conditions. Assuming that is the fault of Socialism and not of countries being in different stages of development is immaterial and ignores the trajectory of nations, as well as the geopolitical landscape.
For example, in the GDR, education was high quality and free, but wages were lower than in West Germany. Many highly educated people in GDR attempted to leverage their free education for higher wages in the West.
As for Cuba, people fleeing are typically the people prosecuted during the revolution, ie plantation owners. People still flee from less developed to more developed countries, which is why people flee from Capitalist states to other Capitalist states.
Living conditions for the majority of the population in Cuba are far better than in any capitalist Latin American country. This is despite the brutal blockade on Cuba by the burger empire. Please go make a clown of yourself elsewhere.
im on latin america and despite being bad over here, i’m a bit skeptical on this one. the blockade is currently making sure cuba can’t even get basic medication in sufficient quantities.
i’d say its safer to say they are much better in some aspects, the ones they can control.
The kind of abject poverty you see in Latin American countries simply does not exist in Cuba. Everyone has access to basic necessities, education, and healthcare. Cuba has even higher life expectancy than US.
when it comes to inequality i can agree its probably among the best, if not the best.
but despite efforts to provide it, they don’t always get basic necessities because of the embargo. there is a not insignificant amount of poverty in cuba too.
Of course, the blockade is doing incredible amounts of harm. My point is that even despite that, Cuba manages to do a better job ensuring a minimal standard of living than capitalist countries in Latin America. What this shows is that communism performs better under extreme stress than capitalism does under best conditions.
Occasionally only one of my monitors will turn on, I end up having to unplug the power cable to kick the other in to life.
I’m using Debian, with an AMD 6700 XT graphics card, dual monitors via display port. I’ve just ended up accepting it as one of the quirks of the Linux experience.
Simmilar problem here. It was working fine (on PopOS) until I replaced GPU GTX 1060 for RX570 a month ago. It happened only few times and powering off/on using monitor button worked. I guess Nvidia was handling it better for some reason
I am baffled seeing so much cloudflare fanboys here…
Cloudflare is everywhere, it sees everything, it holds everything, it has private keys for tons and tons of websites, it’s subject to the absence of any privacy law in the US, but they are “nice”. Wow.
Google also was nice. It used to give you good results. Twitter also was nice.
I only have a HS equivalence, and through determination and autism, managed to break into a very plush tech field. It happens.
However, this guy’s JNCO pants suggest drugs or severely miscalculated income.
EDIT: I found his gram. He’s just a full of shit wannabe influencer. He talks about not paying collections on his debts and shit, like it’s somehow a sign of success and business intelligence. Absolutely brain dead.
