Dying to Escape Socialism

“At least five people have been confirmed dead and five others are missing after a makeshift raft smuggling migrants from Cuba sank off the Florida coast,” reported the Daily Mail last week. “The U.S. Coast rescued nine migrants and recovered one body after the boat capsized Saturday about 50 miles off the shores of Little Torch Key, an island in the Florida Keys. The U.S. Coast Guard's 7th District said that at least 19 people were in the vessel and four drowned immediately after the boat capsized.”

Any cursory review of recent news will turn up numerous headlines like the one above. And yet:

“People enjoy life in Cuba like in few other places. They’re safe, literate and healthy!” Time magazine crowed in their World’s Greatest Places Issue, from March, 2015.

And back in 2011 Newsweek magazine hailed Cuba among “The Best Countries in the World,” in terms of quality of life. “Cuba outdoes its fellow middle-income countries in quality of life,” explained the 1993 “National Magazine Award for General Excellence” winner.

“Fidel Castro first and foremost is and always has been a committed egalitarian. He wanted a system that provided the basic needs to all… Cuba has superb systems of health care and universal education…We greeted each other as old friends.” (Former President of the United States and official "Elder Statesman” of the Democrat Party.)

Covid finished us for good. Time to pull as many as possible to individual safety.
A million people can shout Warning Hell Ahead and it won’t help.
85% of the country took the covid shot. This is holocaust level unquestionable obedience.

Us indeed. I took over a 60% paycut because that was the hill to die on.
Things are darkest just before the dawn.

I have never seen a US citizen convert an old pickup into a make shift boat to travel shake infested waters the 90 miles to the workers' paradise of Cuba. I have seen the Cubans do just that to escape Cuba. Tells me everything I need to know.....

Oh, Elián González will be 30 this year. Any Lib press going to do a puff piece on how it turned out? Asking for a friend....

How do you fit four Cubans on a cinder block?

Tell them it floats north/northwest.

I guess that's the reason Fidel Castro went to Spain for health care when he got sick.
