Massive Cuban Layoffs

[Nuggler]

Yup, back then the Italian Mafia was strong and powerful. Now they are a joke and a shadow of what they once were.

Was there an Italian Mob up in Canada?

Still is.:glasses7:

Montreal mainly.

Quite a few in Kingston (pen)

The Pequistes were going to insist on all Italians learning French, but the horses head in their beds changed their minds.

500k, wouldn't that be like all of them? Perhaps Castro really was a capitalist pig at heart......liberalizing markets the hard way through force, tsk, tsk. This isn't the worst thing, they'll have to allow for private bank loans, exports etc, etc. With some damn fine legislation in place they might bounce back.....or not..... At least they'll be able to get newer vehicles, lol. :lol:

they should have adopted gradualist policies decades ago, like China.

Perhaps they might have adopted the gradualist policies, but in order to get the boot off their neck, they had to act fast. Batista wasn't a nice person, and the U.S. really got pissed.

Castro's probably a greedy pig-con-capitalist-swine-trough slurping idiot, something like the ones we have in Ottawa, past and present.

Just sayin:glasses8:

Hmm... I was listening to an American associate gripe about the cost of cigarettes in Canada and how the high-taxing of tobacco was spreading to the US, and it occurred to me that if Cuba were to roll its product into tubes instead of as cigars, they'd have a much larger market...

I can already see it... Cuban tobacco smuggled into the US in a form that bypasses the tobacco taxes gives the State Department an excuse to launch another invasion of Cuba for the crime of subverting US tax revenues, and the Tea Party gets a brain aneurysm figuring out if they hate Cuba more than taxes.

Cuba to Lay Off 500,000 Government Workers - DailyFinance


So long Cuba! So long Glorious Revolution!

Half a million government workers being layed off. That is 1 in 5 Cubans finding themselves out of work and looking to the private sector for work. Of course there is not much of a private sector now is there?

What are they to do? Hmmmm.... reforms?

Via condios to the old ways...time to open up and let freedom take its course.

T'est juste trop épais pour comprendre ce qui se passe la bas, pourquoi autant de cuban ont perdu leur job? est-ce que c'est pour les sanctions stupide imposé par les barbare américains ou ?
