Yeah. Many "on the island" want to get the hell OFF the island.
But they can't, can they, Andrea? Nothing changes for them. They're "employers" will get paid in dollars and they will continue to receive their pay in pesos.
You’re quite right. When I lived there, I paid my maid $60 a month via the maid’s bureau (CUBALSE). The Cuban government insisted that the rate of exchange was one-to-one, so she received P60 a month, not the agreed-upon US $60; I had to pony up an additional US$60. It was still a good deal for us.
