    60 years of socialist dictatorship would have no other outcome. No elections, inefficient government. Cuba was the richest Caribbean country before the revolution and communism only survived there bcs was banked by SSSR for 30 years and Venezuela for 15 year. As tactcher said "the problem of socialist is that someday the other's people money goes away".

    This is not due to the US Embargo. They’ve had 60 years to adapt. Food grows well there. This is failure to plan and incentivize.

    As an American who recently visited Havana Cuba, it’s clear to see once your there that there are two different Cuba’s, the one the poor Cuban people suffer in daily and the one that Americans with USD experience, I never missed a meal and never waited in lines for food, it almost makes you feel guilty because you know you are treated better than it’s own people, very sad.
