"Had to check the website, thought I was on DU for a moment."
It could be old age creepin' up on you.
If the average Cuban makes $15 a month, which I believe was posted above, an increase to $50 would be quite an improvement
You and I don't see those wages as adequate, but it's my take that the Cubans would be happy to have them.
Cuba's tourism would instantly skyrocket should the government moderate their policies.
I don't think we should think of the opening up of Cube per se in a negative light. Even if some 'carpet bagging' takes place, the average Cuban's lot would surely double or triple in ghe first decade, and perhaps significantly more.
I understand the cause for some people's concern, but I still think things would work out fairly well.
