This man is a certified idiot. They HAVE to use carts because nobody can afford a car and they haven’t imported in cars for sale to the little people in years. That’s why there is an entire cottage industry there for making parts of old 60s American cars left there before the revolution.

There are one or two shows somewhere in the ‘verse about them. Real cottage industry making replacement parts. I’ve seen a couple. Fantastic, really.

The “rehabilitation” of Williams was just one of the enemedia missteps that caused average Americans to realize they were a pack of liars - and those same average Americans voted Trump.

I, and many Americans, Apologize to The People of Cuba for such STUPID remarks by Brian Williams, a lackey of the irrelevant MSM. We as Americans hope to have a prosperous relationship with Cuba in the Future!

Amazing how "exactly what they would rather have" changed with prosperity.

Long ago, before Saab was bought and ruined by GM, I read an interesting interview with the CEO.

It was right after the fall of the Berlin Wall, and the "Trabbie" (i.e. the East German Trabant) was available to collectors in the west.

He bought one and gave it to his kids. They already had a vintage Saab, and he wanted them to understand: the two car manufacturers started out nearly the same in the late 50's.

30 years later, capitalism has built the newest Saab's: more reliable, safer, and fun to drive (I had a Saab Turbo, and it was an awesome car).

In contrast, communism was still building the same crappy Trabant, with no significant changes.

I’m surprised the US media hasn’t praised Cuba for helping stop global warming by not having cars or trucks and only intermittent electric power.
