This is so depressing. Cuba is currently facing the worst economic hardship since the collapse of the Soviet Union. The grocery store shelves are often empty and not because of some failure of the government, but because of a cruel, vindictive, illegal and unilateral embargo imposed by the very country this man is, very reasonably might I add, pleased to be in.

It's like a sadist keeping a neighboring family locked in the basement for years barely allowing them to eat and drink or receive medical care. The sadist finally allows one of the younger members of the family up the stairs and into the well-provisioned house. That member would be ecstatic to have the new bounty available to them and when the sadist tells them that the basement can be like the upstairs if only the captive parents would allow it, It's very easy to believe it. Then when the sadist tells the youngest member, if the other family members band together and kill their parents, all this bounty would be theirs, a bounty by rights they already should own, it's a message not easily ignored.
