Officials said they envision closing about 70 mills, and converting cane fields into vegetable farms or cattle ranches, while reassigning 100,000 workers to the remaining mills, other farm jobs or retraining then to work in food processing factories. That great agriculture expert. Fidel Castro, took a healthy agrarian economy in 1960, a nation self-sufficient in vegetable production, and put all his eggs in one basket to try to reap the rewards of sugar.
In the 1060s, he destroyed the fruit and vegetable economy as Cuba was forced to plant sugar cane on unsuitable land.
Common sense has finally returned after 40 years of one man's singular incompetance!
Too little too late!
Castro's backsliding into oblivion has been an example of how not to run a country.
The people of Cuba have been manipulated and enslaved for too long and deserve a better life.
Yankee Doodle Castro***Havana recently topped Bangkok as "child-sex capital of the world." Consider the human tragedy, the desperation of poor people driven to such things in such numbers, and after 43 years of "liberation" and "national dignity." 18,000 riddled by firing squads. Half a million incarcerated. 50,000 drowned or ripped apart by sharks in the Florida Straits. Thousands more slaughtered in Africa for Moscow. Two million exiled. And we wind up with a nation that in 1959 had a higher living standard than Belgium or Italy, had a lower infant mortality rate than France, had net immigration, as child prostitution capital of the world. Friends, are you beginning to understand why we get a trifle "emotional" or "unreasonable" when we hear some imbecile professor or boneheaded politician yapping about "the good things" Castro has done for Cuba?***
