Crazy that a place with so much potential in terms of prosperity could be held stranglehold of ideological tyranny.

Cuba could easily be one of the most frequented vacation spots of Americans due to its proximity and climate.

It was. My Grandparents used to go there for vacation. Auburn even played a bowl game in Havana against Villanova.

Just the ones that trade parts to 1950's Fords like we trade precious metals.

I hope that I win the lottery by the time Cuba wins her independence from that wonderful socialism. I'd be buying a chiate load of cars and selling them here for huge profits. I'd look for cars especially like the Studebakers.

My dad and his first cousin's first car was a Studebaker that they built out of wrecks. They swapped driving it every weekend for dates. At least in those days if you were mechanically inclined you had options. I suspect that's why the old cars are still being kept up in Cuba.

Maybe it's that free universal health care that keeps them enslaved.

Quote:Commerce Minister Betsy Díaz Velázquez told the state-run Cuban News Agency that various forms of rationing would be employed in order to deal with shortages of staple foods. She blamed the hardening of the U.S. trade embargo by the Trump administration.

More likely Michael Moore came for a visit and was hungry.

Love to hear AOC and the Bernster explain again how Socialism is far superior to Capitalism.....

RE: Cuba launches widespread rationing in face of crisis
I just want to know if I can still travel there and bring back 100 Cuban cigars. On that, I've smoked plenty of Cubans that were not nearly as good as some grown in Nicaragua, Honduras or even DR. On the flip side, the best cigar I've ever had was a Hoya de Monterey Excalibur fresh off the plane.
