It’s a Communist dictatorship! By definition, Cuba’s current nature is horrible. And, unless the Castro regime is unlike EVERY OTHER COMMUNIST DICTATORSHIP IN HISTORY, the ecology of Cuba is equally horrible. If there’s any other upside to this current PR debacle* that the President’s engaged in, it’ll be watching the ecology mavens discover this for themselves…

*There is an upside to this: it’s not a member of my political party who is making a fool of himself right now.
*Really* dumb question ..

I seem to recall, at one point, that Cuba (or, more accurately, the Castro bros) weren’t cashing the U.S. checks that paid for the lease of Gitmo.
.
Did that ever change, and *if so* .. what percentage of the Cuban economy does that payment represent?

That article is so problematic, starting with the first sentence, which asserts that President Barrack Obama is going to Cuba.
I’m pretty sure we’re not sending a house down there.
*crosses fingers* It didn’t say he was coming back…
I’m not sure Cuba has enough of an industrial base to ruin its ecology.
Clearcutting trees for firewood has messed up the Hatian side of Hispanola some ..

Some people, not calling out an ideology here, want for poor people to stay poor so they can go gawk at them on vacation. To those folks, Cuba just looks like a sort of Disneyland theme park of poor farms and villages. No nasty skyscrapers, no bustling streets. And cars from the ’50s.
None of them GAS what this means to the folks that they want to preserve in amber. They will say “oh, they have free healthcare”, etc.
Those are not good people.
Yeah, and their free healthcare is worth what they pay for it, too.
Here’s the perfect setting for an Obama photo op on the next stop of his Tyrant Grovelling Tour.
