Awhile back, someone posted a YouTube video from this same couple, the man is a new arrival from Cuba and was overwhelmed by going to an American Supermarket. In this video according to the man, his lifetime dream was to go to Home Depot. He was overwhelmed by things like roofing materials because his roof leaked in Cuba and he could never get the material to fix it. The power tool section was from another world to Yoel, I really like watching videos like this.....
Now, will he go home to Cuba and take all of his brethren with him? Please.
Nothing wrong with Cubans, most of them are conservative hardworking patriots, like every group some bad ones exist but the overwhelming majority I’ve dealt with are great people....
At least in Dade County the did vote big for Trump..
When we returned to US after our years of ministry/living in Haiti, it was weeks before I stopped going to the grocery store and Home Depot every day just to marvel at the full shelves, variety and prices.
Do not take me wrong, I love Cuban people, or most people at that, it just urks me when someone pretends to be this poor poor guy and then laughs behind good people backs.
I am of the mind that all of the 10s of millions of people that flooded the US since Reagan gave amnesty in the 80s need to go home, fix their own countries, not overrun and destroy ours.
“Americans have forgotten what squalor and tyranny truly look like,”
Thats maybe the biggest problem.
😢💔
Projecting much?
My friend worked with a guy just arrived from Thailand. He worked hard in order to send money back home.
Like the Home Depot guy, he was amazed at the abundance here in the US.
The thing that impressed him the most and what he told his family was “In America, everyone has a car AND they even have HOUSES just for their cars.”
I met a dissident who had escaped Russia. He was staying with a customer of mine.
We were replacing her well pump and the wiring that went down the well. Shielded 3 wire waterproof cable. This guy (broken English), was BLOWN AWAY by this WIRE!
“We have nothing like this in Russia, we have nothing like this in Russia”.
To us it was just wire, we bought in spools.
“I met a dissident who had escaped Russia.”
Back in the late 1970s I was friends with a girl whose family got out of Romania. One time her grandmother came to visit. We took her to the local Mega Mart to get groceries. When we entered the old woman grabbed a cart and started running down the aisles grabbing stuff jabbering in Romanian
I was stunned. Her granddaughter, my friend, explained to me that she was saying that it would all be gone soon so we needed to grab as much as possible. Mom explained to her that the shelves were restocked every day.
The old woman broke down in tears and kept repeating something. I asked what she was saying. My friend translated “Lies…it’s all lies.”
I was heartbroken for this poor woman knowing she’d have to return to that place soon.

#8 AOC blames Trump for her grandmother living in a broken down home in Puerto Rico while she has plenty of money to help but will not. The democrat party members are no different then the communists. They take and everyone else gets nothing.
True, when they go into the first place, I can see it but then to post again and again different places, it just kind of ruins it for me. Makes it seem more for the hits on the video to make money/exploit. Maybe it’s not that way, but in my cynical eye anymore.....
Some of the replies to this post are disheartening. Just saying.
