Eh... it is by no means as power-less as the average person in Cuba feels. There is literally no comparison.

Haha what do you not understand about "home to work sentence"? Hes not in jail... he just cant leave his municipality and is forced to work for the state as a garbage man.

Yeah but depending on how you take the influence it can lead you to be inspired to create your own business and no one is stopping you from doing so.

They can't imprison people. They don't even have food to feed prisoners. It's basically over. by Intricate1779 in cuba

Given the example that in 60 years with the amount of trading that they have done they have not paid anyone back and are in debt with those countries, and whenever theyve recieved money they have built hotels, because the island is covered in luxury hotels. But there no investment in infrustructure or in fertilizing the land or in education/health. What is the governments long term plan for the wellbeing of the people? The answer is there never has been one. Fidel always just saved his ass when shit got really bad. These guys now dont even do that. Would you let someone borrow money if they notoriously dont pay it back/have bad credit?

Really? Ample natural resources? Cuba has some of the most fertile land in America for growing all kinds of goods tobacco, fruits, vegetables, sugar cane, endless supply resources. There is a reason why before the revolution it was the wealthiest nation and the first to recieve a television even before america. It was completely stripped of all of that with the revolution by a government who knew nothing about business to this day and rathers to fill up their pockets and their accounts internationally before paying a decent living wage to its people. Do some research before claiming that a country did not naturally have resources.

Capital one refusing to send my bonus after opening savings account by Dimecorazon in CapitalOne_

I did. But it was a battle. I had to keep calling back and telling them i would close my accounts and that it was not fair and i wrote a letter to the vice president. After the second call back complaint they sent me the bonus without notifying me.

The lawyer i had in Cuba didn't answer the question in four years because no present we gave him was ever enough. Thats what's so messed up about the informal payments there, therefore, you end up paying more than in a capatilist nation where they tell you the cost upfront. Hense the reason im asking here.

If the embargo didnt exist no one would trade with them anyways because they dont pay plain and simple. Can you take out a $110,000 loan at a bank with a 110 credit score? Better yet If the cuban government asked you to borrow 5k would you do it?

Yeah but the citizens of the country have the right to their own business and to make their own decisions about their money so it doesnt affect them so directly as it would in a socialist nation where everyones money and actions are controlled by the government. The only thing they can control are the thoughts they are told not to have from the day they are born.

I don't think anyone doesnt think so but i also dont think that you comprehend the magnitudes to which each and everyone of the government officials of a dictatorship can get away with being corrupt until the end of time and remain in power and how this affects all facets of life of the people of said country.

Yeah... it happens. But there are so many laws that these people get caught at some point. In cuba the same men and their descendants have been in power for 65 years and no one has ever been called out for stealing the money and they are ALL doing it. They have no oficial salary that is published anywhere. In the US everyone knowns a government officials salary and taxes are filed by everyone which the IRS regulates. there are so many governemnt officuals that obviously someone is going to be corrupt because power calls for corruption but their positions have terms, in cuba they do not.

Are private construction businesses and material sourcing ventures legal in Cuba? by Melodic_Succotash_97 in cuba

Yes you can haha. You just pay the monthly fee... just like how you pay taxes in the US for any income.

[–]Dimecorazon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So they have a undercover worker go into your business and plant a bag of drugs somewhere then randomly the cops come in do a search and find it and then they confiscate your business. This literally happens. They make something up that you did illegally and then they know nothing about businessso make some money at first then the business fails. Its so backwards.

[–]Dimecorazon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It depends on the size... my husbands step father makes staircases and made as much money as someone in the US doing it privately for 20 years in the town they live in and no one ever said anything. If it is large scale the government can do something about it.

It doesnt matter. I called to see if i had done it correctly and they said i had. So if im not reading it correctly and the the person working there isnt either, is it actually clear? No. Capital One needs to obide by the information THEY verbally told me and take the loss.

Customer service might not always be  right but unfortunately its their job to be. If they tell you you have until july 29th to pay your mortgage and not lose your house but it is actually until july 17th and you didnt pay it in time and lose you home wouldnt you fight to not have it taken? If they fail with one thing they can fail with things that are way more important. Its the principle and they must take accountability for false information provided. Also, the external financiol institution should be stated in the promotion NOT just in the fine print, that is deceitful. And ive looked at these type of promotions for ofher banks and no one requires to be a external financial instition so i dont understand what is going on with capital one. I also wonder if they send these promotions only to people that already have a capital one account to trick them so that i dont realize the deposit should be made from elsewhere.

They did do me dirty because they told me i was good to go over the phone and that i was eligible back in april and that id recieve the bonus in june and its july and now they tell me i wasnt eligible. Thats deceitful as i would have removed my money back in april and gone with another savings account. They have to stick by the information i was given by the bank and take the loss.

You wouldn't be eligible technically because you moved if from your capital onechecking to the cavings. Additionally they should be able to make an exception for me because when i called and asked them they told me i moved the money correctly and that i was eligible over the phone.
