Did not see a dedicated thread. Things are not going swell.

Loss of Venezuelan Oil and sanctioning to anyone who provides it are really taking a toll. Today the US Embassy Havana issued a security alert based on the anticipated collapse of the energy sector. We are going to see another round or boat migrants.

Link to the alert.

Security Alert: U.S. Embassy Havana, Cuba – February 3, 2...

I was wondering what was going to be the first Scarface mention.

I’m here for the ropa vieja.

Overnight lows yesterday were down to the low 40s. Bet they weren't ready for that.

Honestly, and maybe this is unpopular, but these are the kinds of folks I want coming to America. Gutsy as hell using a fucking farm or delivery truck to cross 90 miles of open water, and the mechanical ingenuity to make said truck into a boat.

I actually thought this was going to be about us invading, but obviously we are weakening them.

I talked to my SIL in Coral Gables. She's freezing her tits off. Had to dig though the plastic tubs in the garage to find her ski parka.

What kind of tits are we talking about? Will they be missed?

silicone or saline...not sure which, but they are certainly man-made.

I'm pretty sure the glass transition temperature for both silicone and saline is well below 40 degrees.

I’ll keep refreshing until the pictures show up.

I think it's more likely you're going to be here to witness those boats blown to hell by US forces for being "drug boats." That's a non-zero chance.

Your best case, considering the current immigration policies in place and the perception, is that these folks will be immediately rounded up and shipped off to a Honduran prison. You think these people are going to be allowed any status in the US right now? Even though the US's direct actions are creating this crisis and migration?
