Will answering with "open" when asked about desired compensation get my application ignored?

I am vastly over qualified for a position I would like to take on to help a local organization as I am semi retired now, and I am certain my typical compensation is at least six times more than what their budget would permit. I just don't know what they do pay but that amount dose not matter to me. I don’t want to just give them free work because when I have done that in the past the organization doesn’t properly valued what I have done for them as it didn’t cost them anything. Thank you for any insight that is provided.

Writing in English because the news is coming from the United States and frankly whatever will happen to us in Cuba is really more in there hands than our own. The dictatorship and the capitalist are busy planning different futures for Cuba (the U. S. Supreme Court letting U. S. companies sue for what they lost in Cuba), but we the people still need our freedom and our voices heard. We are not going through all sh__ we are going through to counting to remain without even our freedom.

Wanted to update everyone that we are not receiving the shipment of oil from the United States.

Not sure how I feel about this as I still need to do a deep dive into the details of what is being proposed. I recall that some type of tourist park was proposed for the area shortly after the dog track closed. This is an unusually large property and it’s location at the end of old 41 has the potential to greatly increase the revitalization that is already happening in the area.

I post this article in the vain hope that perhaps one of the many foreigners who illogically believe the tyrants who run Cuba are justified may perhaps have their eyes opened.

Clearly the USA wanted to intimidate.

“He could have saved four innocent lives.”

“You seriously have to be a sociopath and not have a conscience.”

Going to be blunt. None of the people who use this shared account to post on Reddit about Cuban topics who are in Cuba have I heard from in at least 3 days. It might just be that the power and internet situation is especially bad now, maybe they are just pulling back from putting themselves at risk by posting from Cuba or maybe it’s something else that I rather not think about.

I have seen how every time anyone of them would post about Cuba they would get attacked for their views about their country from people who had no actual connection to Cuba. I, the person who is posting this specific post and not one of the people who usually uses this account to post here, am not Cuban so I will not be engaging with none of the comments. I have posted this video because I know it’s the type of thing they would want to post and because I am hoping that they will be able to see it.

Just a personal message from me, just because you may disagree with a person doesn’t mean you should assume they are your enemy.

I posted about this 4 days ago but today the USA made the official terms for the offered aid public.

I’m writing this in English both because the article is in English and because I want all the English speaking foreigners who keep coming to this sub in order make excuses for how the dictatorship oppresses us, to read this.

I am just posting this without comment as I recognize that people believe what they want to believe, and that what is or isn’t presented will not change anything.

I am ONLY writing about this to share history and NOT, in anyway, to imply that people who are new to the area can do this today. I share it because a lot of people who are new to the Miami area have expressed curiosity as to the topic.

Here is how most of the immigrants who arrived with nothing, were eventually able to own homes in the 60’s to 90’s within the city of Miami or within proximity to it.

First, if you had any family or friend that was willing, you moved in to live with them, even if it meant you had seven people living in a rented studio apartment.

Second, everyone in the family that could work got any paying work they could get and all the money earned was put together.

EVERYONE was SUPER FRUGAL. Never eating out (not even Burger King), never going to movies, avoiding paying for anything they didn’t need to, sharing everything that could be shared, you get the idea.

Back then the prices of typical homes in the area was not as meany times more expensive than the typical wage as it is now. However, immigrants in the area were typically earning significantly less (if they lacked legal status it typically meant they were paid well below minimum wage) than the average wage so for them, it was similar to how it is now. In general, the further away from the downtown areas you were the cheaper the housing was so they looked for housing in the cheapest areas they could find even though it was usually quite a distance from where they might work.

Even after all the sacrifices I already wrote about, it would typically take a few years combining everyone’s salaries before they finally saved enough for the down payment. They typically would still end up putting half the money they would earn as a family to pay their mortgage bill.

That is the true formula of how so many immigrants become home owners in Miami back then.
