The Cuban comedian Ulises Toirac delivered an ironic critique on Thursday about the situation in Havana, marked by blackouts and the lack of alerts regarding the effects of Hurricane Helene.

In his Facebook post, Toirac sarcastically commented that "it's pointless to wake up early to work knowing that at ten they are going to cut the power."

However, he pointed out that the interruptions arrived earlier than expected, which, according to him, demonstrates how difficult it is to plan life under these conditions.

Toirac also mentioned that the situation was worsened by strong winds and constant rain, but he sarcastically noted that, according to the authorities, "nothing has happened," dismissing serious crises regarding energy supply or the need to issue cyclone alerts.

With his characteristic humor, he concluded by stating that what he is experiencing "is not real," adding a critical tone regarding the energy and management situation in Cuba.

On other occasions, Toirac has showcased his exquisite humor to criticize the government of Cuba.

Recently, he attacked the recent decree issued by the Council of Ministers, which prohibits a total of 125 economic activities for private micro, small, and medium enterprises, non-agricultural cooperatives, and self-employed workers.

In a post shared on his Facebook wall, Ulises recalled an old joke about a husband who, upon discovering that his wife is cheating on him on his own sofa, decides to throw out the sofa. For him, the government adopts the same attitude toward its problems.

"What they ultimately end up prohibiting is the private enterprise of the majority," he stated, before referring to the disrespect for the legal framework that exists in the country, where "the Constitution can be denied by laws, and laws can be denied by... an invisible and omnipotent superior entity."

On another occasion, Toirac spoke about the return of schools to the countryside in Cuba, which will now be in urban areas instead of an agricultural camp, working in organoponics or maintaining places of interest.

In August, it joined the numerous criticisms from citizens about the lack of waste collection, a problem that causes trash to accumulate on the streets throughout Cuba.

Ulises shared on his Facebook wall the photo of a pile of garbage on a corner of Havana, and although he did not reveal where it is, the truth is that it could be in any neighborhood of the city.
