[Justiz]

Cash on the barrel is the necessary method to deal with the Cuban deadbeats.

More meat the merrier. As all commodities travel out the back door of Cuban shops and storage facilities it will be no different with USDA ribs as it is with VCR's. One enterprising Cuban gets to make some cash selling to another Cuban, who doesn't believe meat is murder nor theft, and receives a product he otherwise wouldn't have an opportunity to eat.

Flood the country with every American product. I need a cut rate deal on some Gatorade and Red Bull. Instead of selling a one shot deal of banana leaf filled Cohibas, Cubans can move on to better quality, multiple purchase backdoor merchandise.

Fidel pretends to pay them, and they pretend to work for the man.

Russia is still dealing with the theft and backdoor economy of the Soviet Union. All communist countries suffer from this disease. A better idea is to prevent this kind of underground economy from expanding. Much of South America is crippled by the reality that you have to bribe everyone to get anything. These are not healthy methods or attitudes. They aren't the cure for a healthy economy or a working government. Castro needs to reform or get out of the way.
