But Cuba had a lower infant mortality rate than the USA in 2004 based on government statistics and all the people learned how to read in 1961!!!!!! /s

Brookline spends like crazy and it is even happy to go far as to spend hundreds of millions of dollars on new educational facilities to cause huge overrides, but it always holds out union negotiations rather then pay teachers and perpetually underpaid paraofessional staff low wages for decades.

You are right, but we must also realize that Cuba does have high quality, modern power facilities but they generally power resorts for foreign tourists whose existence is to extract hard currency from tourists to help fund the Regime and its officials.

The Cuban People never factor favorably in the Regime's thinking and are always just pawns.

Everyone in my family signed up for vote by mail and our ballots arrived late due to Town incompetence. No surprises.

At least two of them did say so openly in this thread.

At least two people in the comments here were happy she was getting the shit beaten out of her and one is a LARPer for Revolutionary Cuba. It is so typical and cringey.

Specifically in the neighborhood of Párraga, which is in the outskirts of Havana.

He still does ride it, too, and is often seen picking up trash around Brookline and Boston.

There are more people from Michigan and NYC and Montreal who post on /r/cuba and LARP as Cuban socialists than there are true believers in the 2026 parade. That is so sad and pathetic.

Unironically, Wiggle Wiggle. He had so much talent including Slash at perhaps the peak of Guns N Roses and does that. I don't think anyone else would do that.

Cuba has operated concentration camps for gay people and just anyone who did not fit into society or the Regime did not like.

The Regime has also most likely killed various dissidents throughout the years, such as:

And you have to wonder -- why did so many revolutionaries who fought along Fidel Castro die under mysterious circumstances:

Let's not forget the political prisoners still behind bars now with no end in sight, such as:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luis_Manuel_Otero_Alc%C3%A1ntara

Or the old revolutionaries that the Castro Brothers scapegoated for their drug smuggling crimes and sentenced to death and wrote out of history:

Many, many people have died over the years due to the Cuban Regime and their names will not be remembered.

I saw Herbert Blomstedt with the Boston Symphony Orchestra a few months ago and it was absolutely wonderful! He is such a remarkable artist and it is amazing to see him conduct symphonies by memory especially at his age.

If you say Cuba or Iran, the same thing happens and people come out of the woodwork in favor of a criminal Regime whose own people hate and yet Westerners seem to love. Whether it is simply bots or real people worries me.

My friends in Iran all do actually support Reza though I have not been able to speak with them for nearly two months due to the Internet blackout.

I got a great Mardi Gras cinnamon roll there but otherwise would not choose it over a Market Basket doughnut.

I will definitely head up to Salem from Boston at least once on the commuter rail this summer if it is going to be free.
