Cuban communists fumble economy so badly that they now import sugar—at $25 a pound

For the better part of a century, Cuba has been under the control of communists and their ideologies, and the previously inconceivable has finally happened—they’ve run out of sugar. 

18 Comments on Cuban communists fumble economy so badly that they now import sugar—at $25 a pound

  1. Instead of talking about buying Greenland or having Canada be the 51st state, Trump should make a statement about buying out Cuba from the Communists and making it a long distant county of Florida (not a state).

  2. Cuba is steadily approaching the point where the entire population is engaged in prostitution. “Will indulge sexual fantasies for hard currency.”

    Cubans living in Cuba don’t seem to have much else to look forward to.

  3. Nobody ever created a makeshift raft from scrap wood & old tires so they could load their entire family on it and drift across 90 miles of shark infested waters in order to go *TO* Cuba. But 100s of thousands have done exactly that in order to escape that broken down communist shit hole.

  4. It’s like Milgram experiment (the one where subjects applied shocks for wrong questions on increasingly high levels) except in reverse. The experiment studies how much suffering the people of a nation are willing to endure.

    I think there’s a cultural aspect. For example, the people of Argentina, Siri Lanka and Syria all reached their limits in different ways. Will the Latin culture of Cuban make them more immune to suffering (like say N. Korea for example) or will they finally have had enough now that the sugar has run out.

    “Cuba is steadily approaching the point where the entire population is engaged in prostitution.”

    Wouldn’t that mean that every person HAS to hire their own prostitute for this economy to work? And wouldn’t every prostitute have to hire their own prostitute for LESS than they make prostituting themselves as a matter of survival?

  6. @Commie Economics — It relies on non-commie sex tourism, but you Cuban commies can’t say that out loud without getting shot.

    And that raises an interesting tactical question. Can Cuban govt thugs afford ammo these days?

  7. But do NOT forget. The US government has laid such OUTRAGEOUS tariffs on imported sugar, that EVERY soda company and others who were able to, switched to High Fructose Corn Syrup (subsidized by the US government through corn subsidies, etc.). Now we have high levels of diabetes and other issues associated with that source of “sweetness.” So yes, the Cuban government is criminal, but SO IS THE US GOVERNMENT.
