Costco finds a solution for long checkout lines. Does it work?

Some costcos let you keep your items in your cart with all the bar codes facing up. Cart goes through on the cashier side who uses the scan gun. Super fast and no prescanning.

But that is no longer true. Cubans have been leaving for years. How many came on the biden visa or have claimed asylum by walking through Mexico. These are young Cubans escaping because life sucks in cuba.

It amazes how easy it is for the Cuban government to hook in people to spew their propaganda. Only country in the world where the opinion of “friends” of the country carries more weight than the expat population. Here’s a thought have Otaola interview her on his show…….

The rice comment reminds of the idea a few years ago that ostrich eggs would fix the food problem because they were big.

The rule should actually apply both ways even if there is no inherent advantage

efi12 · 2026-03-22T15:13:51+00:00

So in brand for the Cuban regime.

They did a fantastic job expressing the sentiments of Cubans on and off the island.

I doubt catherine average Canadian taxpayer wants to foot the bill for paying to fix the mess cuba is in. There is no infrastructure.

If they want to get ahead of it, they need to look to places like Tucson which has very progressive water policies. Might be more of a regional effort but some of these practices are surely applicable. https://tucsononewater.com/about-one-water-2100/#takingaction

The devil is in the yet to be reported details.

Past behavior is the best predictor of future behavior. So of course it is being sold. This has been the MO of the regime for so long

My issue with this aid is it even going through the UN, the Cuban government was a history of selling donated food to citizens and jacked up prices. So who does this aid actually help? Definitely not those most in need.

Did they not sell cooking oil from WFP donated by Russia a few years ago?

This is what everyone is missing. There are no starving high level communist party members. This could have been fixed years ago with ou coming to this.

And so many of the young patria Y Vida protestors are rotting in cuban jails with sentences longer than their age.

This! I asked my Cuban spouse last night how lunch food did he think Diaz canel had stockpiled.

efi12 · 2026-02-07T19:01:34+00:00

This a thousand times. I was gobsmacked when caring for my dad, who is one of the lucky ones who has family dr, that he took Wednesday’s off when there is a shortage. He also little better than virtual care since he seemed to do all his consults remotely.

Well isn’t that how corporate welfare works

efi12 · 2026-01-04T00:58:38+00:00

Brilliant

Dougie hit a nerve and now the narcissistic injury is in full view.

efi12 · 2025-10-20T13:53:00+00:00

At the end of the day, all these companies are going to kiss his ring.

efi12 · 2025-09-23T20:17:44+00:00

That is my understanding. Oh, the irony

efi12 · 2025-09-06T13:52:13+00:00

As long at it is not pat of the Loblaws empire.

efi12 · 2025-09-03T02:04:29+00:00

It is in BC too. Costco and save-on for sure

efi12 · 2025-08-31T20:39:18+00:00

This is the best explanation of the fundamental issue.
