    Yup. You don’t want to tell the young socialists here about Cuban ration books, it might destroy their fantasies

      I find it odd some may glamorize a brutal dictatorship where people are living in fear. Everywhere you go there is law enforcement and military. The citizens are very careful what they say because they fear being dragged to prison. When I went as a tourist. Someone asked what my house was like, the tour guide cut me off and said like most Americans, he doesn’t own his own, they don’t have running water and indoor plumbing.

      Umm. I have three homes which I own. Four cars and I’m not eating flint corn. We have funk grocery stores.

      Turns out she was pretty pro-American as she had been there but the government pushed an anti-American agenda.
