You may have hung out in the farm land where they do better because of their ability to sell off crop, but did not mention rural cities such as Bauta where they are managed by the government to the extent of being taken out of work and school by buses to attend 5 hour speaches in 90 degree weather.
I do not respect your point of view. If half of your thoughts were correct, mothers and fathers would not be risking their lives on home made rafts trying to get out because...THEY ARE LOCKED IN!!!!

Nowhere do I say Cuba is perfect. It has it's faults as does any country. For every negative issue someone brings up about Cuba, you could find just as absurd of an issue in the USA.
For every Cuban that made that risk to come to the USA, there are 1000 that did not. I
DO NOT think it is right that the Cubas are not allowed to leave, and respect those who have made that risk, as I do anyone who chooses to leave their own country.
We both know Cuba is a mess. Fidel started with the best of intentions, and the USA did cripple them with the embargo, but Cuba is going to be a lot worse off when he is gone. What you will have is a country that will not be able to pay for medical care or education, many will lose their property, the crime rate is going to skyrocket, and the USA and Europe is going to waltz in there and buy it all up.
The Cubans will be still be dirt fucking poor with no ration books, no salary, no education, no medical care and no money. BUT... they will be free to leave. Which is the lesser of two evils?
