35 years after this speech and Cuba does not have stable internet access in any part of the country.
âOmbudsman role of the press in the Soviet Union.â Not enough lols for this one.
Iâm sure youâre aware of the reasons for that, and that they arenât a lack of capitalism.
Something something embargo right? Surely a successful, socialist country free from multinational exploitation would be able to come up with a solution.
You mean like refactor your whole economy after the trade embargo so youâre not dependent on exports, when sustaining the enviable literacy and infant mortality rates youâve established means that people have just about enough to eat but your legacy housing stock is crumbling.
Yeah that sounds simple, what a bunch of idiots.
Based on your and Victorâs posts it sounds like having socialized medicine and education while keeping free markets in industries like tech and farming is the way to go.
Iâm saying refactorIng the entire economy of a very poor country without heaping misery and probably starvation on many people isnât viable, and itâs entirely down to your shithole country (I think I can say this now the pennyâs finally dropped over there). Which of course was the whole point of the embargo.
Right, and I donât think the farm subsidies have worked out very well here. Similarly to how state-run farming didnât work out well in Cuba or China.
Sheâs been a Senator for a couple years and a cop for a bunch. Letâs not get carried away. Booker, Gillibrand, Klubes, Castro, and Bennett were all just as qualified. Inslee and Warren count as non-geriatric eDems?
How have the subsidies not worked out? It hasnât helped small family farms, but food supply is top top and just a pure free market is no guarantee against occasional scarcity, ie hunger.
Doesnât seem anything at all like Maoist China. I donât know that Cuba had significant hunger (relative to similar counties).
I could have stated that better, I should have said arguably rather than probably. It was early morning and no caffiene.
I was including warren in the geriatric category tho.
I donât know much about this topic but will add United Shades of America was about family farming last week and W. Kamau Bell made a pretty strong case these have hurt small farmers by skewing the market as they have gone mostly to huge agri business.
Farm subsidies have worked out great insofar as they have transferred wealth to industrial agribusiness and dicked over small family farms and taxpayers. That was always the plan all along.
Our reliance on corn and dairy has likely contributed to the obesity epidemic, and the distortions in the market led to an abundance of trash products like HFCS. Like you said, mostly conglomerates have benefited. Financial assistance should be provided to the people that need food, not to the producers.* We have enough wealth and distribution that I think weâre past the point as a country where we would literally run out of food.
*With the exception of disaster relief and other black swan events.
Sleeping your way to the top is not even a thing. I have never made it past the middle.
Who did she sleep with to get a presidential campaign.
Interesting to see the frothy return of the racist misogynists. They can really let their freak flags fly.
Providing assistance to eaters does not create a food surplus, which is necessary if you donât want to people to go hungry when thereâs a hiccup in the market for any reason (financial, weather, fuel, whatever). A perpetual food surplus is required if you donât want hunger.
