CUBA is the most sustainably developed country in the world, according to a new report launched today. The socialist island outperforms advanced capitalist countries including Britain and the United States, which has subjected Cuba to a punitive six-decades-long economic blockade. The Sustainable Development Index (SDI), designed by anthropologist and author Dr Jason Hickel, calculates its results by dividing a nation’s “human development” score, obtained by looking at statistics on life expectancy, health and education, by its “ecological overshoot,” the extent to which the per capita carbon footprint exceeds Earth’s natural limits.

A good place for the celebrities to move to. Please include Whoopi, Rob Reiner, and Robert DeNiro.
The source is a Socialism advocacy rag, not an actual news organization. That it would publish such tripe is not surprising. I expect to read all kinds of pseudointellectual pablum in such publications.
I notice that Socialists are beginning to move away from the promises that we will achieve paradice if we would only embrace socialism. Instead, they have taken to threatening and fear-mongering about consequences if we fail to adopt Socialism.
“¡Socialismo o Muerto!”
Cuba is not a “developed country.”
Wow!!!!
LMAO!
Yep. The similarities are startling.
At very least, some level of Aspergers’ Syndrome.

So, one get’s used to slipping into a chosen character.
Slipping out of that character can be hard for many.

Who is still churning out those alternators and radiators for the 53 chevys?
Running neck and neck with Burkina Faso, Yemen, and that island near India where the natives kill anyone who lands on its shore.
What about the Hawaiian “Forbidden Island”, Niihau?
Her parents look just like this or could be brother and sister
Here’s the truth about Cuba. Under Castro, they kept those cane fields in place, though there was no good market for cane sugar, because they loved the publicity from liberal idiots who came down to help the starving citizens harvest it. “The Venceremos Brigade,” founded by SDS students. Problem was, Cuban people were STARVING and couldn’t eat sugar cane.
Plus Castro didn’t allow them to even grow a potato in their yards, because EVERYTHING belonged to the state.
They had no fertilizer or seeds, which of course they would have to buy from evil capitalists.
AS A RESULT, Cuba does have some of the best land in the world for organic farming. They could have fed everyone in South America and made profits, kept their people healthy. .
Maybe they are talking about keeping cars running that were built in the 1950’s.
