Cuba has higher living standards than the US under a 60 year siege lmao
Never heard that someone want to live in Cuba really
Weird, it is almost like you're in an anti-communist media ecosystem that doesn't broadcast it.
According to a 2022 report from the Cuban Human Rights Observatory (OCDH), 72 percent of Cubans live below the poverty line. 21 percent of Cubans who live below the poverty line frequently go without breakfast, lunch or dinner due to a lack of money. Pensions are among the smallest in the Americas at $9.50/month https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economy_of_Cuba#Wages,_development,_and_pensions
Wow it is almost like when Trump put them on the state sponsor of terror list for literally no reason and Biden kept them there their standard of living has gone down. Shocking.
