Maui sure picked a lousy decade to get rid of the sugar canes and processing plant.
Maybe they can still revive that industry.
HAVANA TIMES, Feb. 21, 2011 — "Technological indiscipline is the principal cause for the plunge in the cultivation of sugarcane in Cuba, judging by the opinions of Ramón Romero and Miguel Pereira, presidents of Agricultural Production Cooperatives, who will attend as delegates the sixth Communist Party Congress in April, reported IPS.
Both agreed that the results are also linked to the lack of labor force's motivation. “No one is motivated if they don't earn enough to feed well their families, without good working tools, and if with their daily sweat they can't aspire to improve or build their home,” Romero noted."
Heard a writer pushing his new book about the revelations on tape from the Cuban Missile Crisis insiders.
He said JFK and Kruschev wanted to avoid all out nuclear war but the Robert Kennedy and Dean Rusk faction were disappointed because they wanted to destroy Cuba. Last words on tape were Robert Kennedy saying “I want to get Cuba.”
Spoiler: We are alive today because the nuclear war didn’t happen-——that time.
