And THAT is exactly the problem. Apparently our senators were using Havana as their playground. As a result we backed a despot who was allowing his people to starve.I’d hope that’s not it.I reckon it's residual humiliation from the Bay of Pigs.We do business with corrupt Russia. Why is Cuba’s economic paradigm our business? We deal with far worse autocrats and dictators.
When I was there they were so thrilled the US embassy is open. Maybe if they gave Donald a place for a hotel.
And one has to ask how they provide free health care and education through college but we can’t.
We did not have an enormous capital investment in Russia either.
Not Russia, not China...our one percent was EXTREMELY leveraged in Cuba when Castro nationalized all of it.
At some point they forbid ticked off. On our tour a lot of people, including my parents, got uncomfortable every time we drive past a building and the guide said “This building used to belong to a big sugar manifactirer” or to Bacardi or to a big cigar maker.
It should be a cautionary lesson in how not to treat working people. And they don’t have much. They live a very hard life. Multiple generations of families and relatives live in one little house. But they think it’s better than what was previously. At least that’s what they say. Obviously they’re not going to be 1000% candid.
Defense is a necessary evil, most of the world depends on our military. Too bad they don’t pitch in... fucking socialist deadbeats. LolYeah? Which bit of what aircraft carrier did you buy?The collective does not protect shit, it can’t even pay for its own shit. Lol
No. So now are you lobbying for them to be sold to private interests? After all, the state has no business running a transport network, right? The money received for the roads should reduce your taxes while you pay tolls on the roads for their maintenance. That's the capitalist way, Shirley.I thought I made it clear that I wouldn't since I've paid for them.You didn't comment on whether you'd forsworn use of socialist interstates. Have you?It practices socialism because there is no shortage of scumbag politicians who will convince the vast mass of envious dumbasses like you that you can loot the wealthy without killing the golden goose.
So, when it comes to the maintenance of roads, it seems capitalism loses its lustre. Funny that.
It would be better if the US hadn't/didn't threaten to penalise foreign companies that did/do business with it.Cuba would be much better if it weren't socialist with the intent of becoming communist.
Ok, I'll bite, how does the US penalize foreign companies that do business in Cuba?
You just flat out CAN'T.
Lately the terms have been changing but if you Google search under something like "penalties for doing business in Cuba" you will be able to gather a fairly good idea.
I understand why American companies may be penalized...didn't find anything on foreign companies. So I figured
Ok, I'll do your research for you.Ok, I'll bite, how does the US penalize foreign companies that do business in Cuba?
Helms–Burton Act
The embargo was reinforced in October 1992 by the Cuban Democracy Act (the "Torricelli Law") and in 1996 by the Cuban Liberty and Democracy Solidarity Act (known as the Helms–Burton Act) which penalizes foreign companies that do business in Cuba by preventing them from doing business in the U.S.

Those that make statements should do their own research and post links.
BTW
At present, the embargo, which limits American businesses from conducting business with Cuban interests, is still in effect and is the most enduring trade embargo in modern history. Despite the existence of the embargo, the United States is the fifth largest exporter to Cuba (6.6% of Cuba's imports are from the US). Cuba must, however, pay cash for all imports, as credit is not allowed.

Incapable of having a discussion, eh little boy?

What were you uncomfortable about, the fact that the building was now a total wreck and was no longer functional?
So you realize that people had to lie to keep the kommisars from sending them to the Gulag. And you are actually defending this system?
I don't know.Go ahead, we are interested in hearing these wonderful successes.
Please, list the countries.

See this is the problem with idiots like you.
Too dumb for air.

I don't care.
What a stupid question.
Why do you think anyone cares?
We know Nazi Germany failed. With so many Republicans being Nazi's is probably a bad thing.
