I wouldn’t suggest the Gulag thing. But has Cuba tried the medal thing? If not, get with it, guys.

For the better part of a century, Cuba has been under the control of communists and their ideologies, and the previously inconceivable has finally happened—they’ve run out of sugar. Like John Hinderaker at Powerline quipped, “This is like Libya running out of sand.”
Or…like Alabama running out of cotton.
Like Costa Rica running out of pineapples.
Like Russia running out of vodka.
Like Saudi Arabia running out of oil.
Like China running out of rice.
Like the Midwest running out of corn.
Like Afghanistan running out of opium.
How is this even possible? Do you really even have to do anything to get a tropical crop to grow on an island nation with a literal year-round growing season?
According to a new report from CiberCuba, the communists are now importing sugar at about $25 a pound, and have stopped exporting entirely, after a number of “failures” over the years. NEWS FLASH: Communism never works, and it is always a failure. If anyone needs a refresher as to what happens to a plot of land after communists take over and try to grow something, look no furhter than the CHAZ community garden in Seattle from the summer of 2020:
I just realized that the pathetic CHAZ garden is even more pathetic than I first thought.
They didn't dig up the grass, they just put cardboard on top of it, and then some dirt on top of the cardboard.
😳

(They immediately went online to solicit food donations, like vegan hotdogs, becuase they were “starving” a mere 6 hours into the garden-growing experience.)
Anyway, here is the story from the CiberCuba article:

Canada, Greenland, Panama — maybe Cuba too.

“maybe Cuba too.”
Well if we are going to do it, right now is when to do it. Russia is broke and busy, and Cuba would most likely welcome it.
Like women running out of words.
“Like Russia running out of vodka.”
Like Venezuela running out of gasoline. Wait, that happened.
”If you put the Federal Government in charge of the Sahara Desert, in 5 years there would be a shortage of sand”.
They still have the coolest cars though.
Socialism lead Israel World Country for 40 years in a Country full of Jews!
😂 You won the thread.
Lead Israel into being a 3rs world country.
Yep. Like just like the old Soviet Union - which had to start importing wheat after the Commies took over - that and they let the people starve, which was a perfectly OK policy as well.
Let me hear more about how Cuba has the “best medical care and doctors in the entire world.”
It’s like America running out of engineers. Yes, our communist government took a country with the most and greatest engineers and decided foreign indentured servants were better than their own citizens.

A major earner for Cuba
Doctors can earn higher salaries if they work abroad on one of the many humanitarian missions that Cuba has been a part of since 1963. In 2015 there were 37,000 Cuban medical employees working in 77 countries around the world, earning billions of dollars per year for the government. Perhaps this is another explanation for why the quality of Cuba’s doctors is so good: they earn precious foreign currency for a cash-strapped government struggling against a United States trade embargo.
LOL! I still remember Fidel Castro on the Ed Sullivan Show saying “I am NOT a Communist!” He lied. Commie to the core.
ComDem Lies, BUMP!
Bump
communism only has the ability to use the infrastructure created by capitalism. It has no ability to build it’s own. So when what they stole eventually breaks, it’s game over.
