Maybe there's been a more blatant pro-Communist,pro-Castro piece of "reporting" from the AP in the past, but I've never seen it.
As long as you have health-care, who cars if you only make 12 bucks a month!
AP amazes me more and more each day.
What a piece of work.

The article does drip with perky smiles doesn't it? "Big Brother has increased the chocolate ration to 20 grams per week."

The positive economic news has come on the heels of new optimism based on oil prospects off Cuba's northern coast and strengthened economic ties with China and Venezuela. I can't think of a better way of knocking China and Venezuela down to size than making Cuba a charge of the Chinese and Venezuelan taxpayers.

This came few months after Chuckie from Venezuela was there.
Chuckie Light in mexico has similar wage increase.
Both location Venezuela and Mexico have oil. The 12/mo or whatever is through oil industry.
This way they show how they care so much and are not as evil as pesky oil co's...
So that game will go on...

Salary figures can be misleading, however, where most citizens pay no rent, education and health care are free, and the government offers heavily subsidized basic services such as utilities and transportation. What the AP fails to point out:
1. They may not pay rent, but they also live in sh*tholes.
2. Education may be free, but all it consists of is Marxist propaganda.
3. Health care may be free, but it's not readily available.
4. The commies may "subsidize" utilities, but the power is usually not on.
5. Walking has ALWAYS been free transportation.

It's called "Rikers Island"...
