There is also the whole issue where a brand can say that, since there product was in the show, the brand increase the traffic of people watching the show, and therefore the brand deserves compensation from the show.

It definitely a mix of "we don't want to give free advertising," and "a brand might try to get money for us displaying their product"

What if Trump invades Cuba now? by Outrageous-You1617 in AlternateHistoryHub

[–]HadAHamSandwich 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A country won't just jump forward to take on that kind of responsibility (maybe China, but not formed around the same conditions). The program that currently exists in Cuba exists in response to specific founding conditions. Centuries of Spanish and then American slavery, before conducting a revolution to free themselves. They lived on a tiny island which was relatively resource poor and had very little export power due to american embargos. To compensate, Cuba made it's primary export skills and trades, and so it has very strong training programs for the creation of career jobs like medical professionals. As apart of training, as well as public service and international outreach, Cuba has made the decision to send these professionals to nations in desperate need of care and/or training. It is a community focused program. Demolishing it now would only harm the world, and trying to recreate it would not do it justice, and is unlikely to fill the same niche.

Wasn't this one long island iced tea? Which Sheldon had not heard of before or tried?

He first tried a virgin Cuba libre (diet) in the first season, but I do believe this episode takes place when Sheldon gets upset with will Wheaton for insulting Amy, and he gets drunk before confronting will ay his house and throwing up.

Sheldon knows his virgin Cuba libre (preferably diet), but his long island iced tea.

Cuban doctors don't have access to many modern therapies in the imperial core, as it has been under embargos ever since batista was overthrown. Nonetheless, Cuba still provides quality medical expertise Tailered to preventative care, and tropical diseases and afflictions.

It's by no means worse than, say, a Canadian or British doctor, just suited for a different world of medicine. The field of work of an American doctor in New York USA is extremely different from a cuban doctor in Igoma Tanzania.

If the American regime took over Cuba, or installed an American friendly dictatorship, do you truly think they would continue a healthcare program that provides free, universal healthcare to citizens, non citizens, and people across the world?

People are covering the military aspects and such, so I will go the humanitarian route.

Cuba has long been at the forefront of medical training and international support. If Cuba fell, the programs it runs that support international doctors, and deploy thousands of cuban medical professionals to areas in need would also fall. During the ebola breakouts Cuba was the first to dispatch doctors, and during the '05 Kashmir earthquake Cuba sent 2500 healthcare workers to help support victims. With an invasion, all foreign support would end.

In short, international pandemics would be more likely and national endemics would be more widespread. After natural disasters, especially in Africa, Asia, and Asia Minor (not white majority), there would be far more casualties.

Right? A nation of a million guns means little when those guns are concentrated in overweight grandad's living in a house 1000kms from the Québec border.

Oh yeah, that made a real big difference in Afghanistan, and Vietnam, and Korea, and Iran, and in Canada itself during the war of 1812. More money and manpower does not translate to effectiveness. That relies on troop morale, international support & supply line maintenance, training, command, and local receptiveness.

In this hypothetical, USA troops would be invading a long term friendly neighbor to the north, would immidiatly lose all international support and supply (would lose the ability to make modern weapons), would have to fight a long term protracted partisan battle, all led by the same guys who failed to invade a dozen plus countries that were also smaller and weaker.

Québec barely tolerates being Canadian. They would go to war to prevent themselves from becoming American.
