We’re supposed to believe that it is a wonderful thing in Communist countries where the leaders care so much for their people. They teach them to read. They have free education and health care. Cubans have very strict gun control. Abortion is available on demand in Cuba, and in 2019 they raised the mandatory minimum wage. All things the Democrats running for President support. It looks like an ideal Democrat platform.
After 60 years of Castro Brothers control, they have raised the minimum wage to $16 (per month, not per hour). The average wage will shoot up from $24 to $42 per month. Thank goodness Cuba doesn't have the problem with wealth and income inequality that the United States does because that would cause division and strife.
Higher education professors will now receive $56 to $68 per month, very similar to the fake Indian running for President, who wants to move towards socialism, who is worth millions and got paid $400,000 for the tough task of teaching one course. I wonder why the cost of education is so high in the U.S and why student debt is so high when Warren only got $400,000 plus benefits for such a tough schedule.
The Cuban journalists pushing government propaganda will go from an average salary of $15.50 per month to $50 per month, which is very competitive with the millions that our talking heads receive as they push the Democrat talking points. Actually, I am having trouble justifying $50 per month for Maddow, Joe & Mika, Acosta and Tapper. A copier and leaflets would be a much cheaper way to push the Democrat talking points.

Or, ‘if you knew boynee like we know boynee’. :-) Castro did some good things. Right? Ignore that pile of dead people over there.
Anyone who DOES believe that Castro’s Cuba is better than the USA can easily just GO there to live.
But they won’t because they’re all liars.. they just want to ruin the USA is all.
Yep, who knew, those old commies had such redeeming qualities?
Chairman Mao, Joe Stalin, Pol Pot, Ho Chi Minh, Fidel, Che, etc. Who knew all these good communists made such great contributions to humanity? I never knew.
Look on the bright side. The illegals would all go home.
Well - Castro did cause a lot of common sense can-do innovations - how many 50 year old cars are still running - some of them with lawn mower engines and garter belts?
RE: how many 50 year old cars are still running - some of them with lawn mower engines and garter belts?
I was in Cuba December 2018 on a tour.
Our tour guide drove us on a 1954 GM model car (very nice and shiny pink car, well kept ). I asked him later how he was able to keep the engine running till the 21st century. The answer is — he wasn’t able to. He replaced the engine with a Korean made engine.
The tour was $80 for Six Hours. All in all, he gets 10% of that. The rest go to the government. He lives on the generosity of tips.
And here’s another great thing in Havana — NO TRAFFIC. Well, because there’s hardly any cars.

The Climate Change Crew cheers!
Yep - they learned the value of taking care of their own property out of absolute necessity...they are well-versed in what my Dad used to call “old Indian tricks” when it comes to using a little ingenuity to fix something w/o the proper tools/parts.
Cuba does not look that different from some of our Blue cities.
The idiots reached critical mass during the Clinton years and now the explosion ... slow motion befitting their slow witts
