As I was leaving the super market, a guy from Cuba who just landed in Costa Rica was begging me to give him money or buy him food. He showed me his passport and we got talking a bit.
Said he was glad Castro was gone, they can't get basic stuff there. Everything is rationed, including basic stuff like rice and toilet paper.
He was one a of the few of the Cubans out of the 9000 who were stuck at the Nicaraguan border who got into CR.
I wonder why all these pro Castro supporters on here who live overseas didn't migrate to Cuba instead to where there at now.
It's different to big up Castro when you don't live in Cuba, but go live there and then come back and chat.

You people are real jackasses nothing less, you speak like if Castro embargoed Cuba and not the ultra caring, humanitarian minded United States.

So, how comes you Clintonites bawling that the Communist Russians used superior technology to interfere in the Democratic USA Elections process?
Is it just a matter of convenience?

Him should visit the Heartland, like Knoxville, Tennessee, known as the panhandle capitol of the great USA.

Probably. I'm sure the Kaspersky people are not splitting their rubles evenly with the Russian Government.

Mariel boatlift
The Mariel boatlift was ended by mutual agreement between the two governments in late October 1980, after as many as 125,000 Cubans had reached Florida.
Sounds like paradise to me.

Castro did a lot of exporting, he exported his 'revolution' on foreign soils where a lot of his people's bones still lay. He all to eager to pack them in boats and send them off to wherever they landed. Fewer mouths to feed back home.
