•Really sad. In general, and also for the blow that owners of those vintage cars must have faced, parting with an old friend, and throwing away a part of life, be it as a taxi driver or for personal transportation. I saw how Cubans are very clever and practical, as they must be, repurposing old box springs or updating a small coco-taxi to be solar. I'd no idea that the shift has been so dramatic, but then, no gas, no electricity (thanks, #TrumpVirus)... and many people need to travel long distance to work, often relying on buses or hitch-hiking/group rides.
Not seeing much footage of Cuba these days (or Gaza!) as our media and attention zones are so flooded, and it's hard to share media when survival is job #1 and there's no Internet or electricity to boot. Sad.
