Min Wage In Cuba??? WTF

[FrnkPwrs]

That is gonna fuck with the economy...if the businesses can afford to pay their new minimum wages..say their cost of employees doubles...well they may have to lay some people off. Theft goes up, poverty goes up. Afterwards, to compensate for lost funds prices rise and then your 10 dollars was just as useful as the 4.50 but less people have jobs..

Wrong economic model. Cuba is a communist country.

correct.

of course it's not as if cuba's the only country that has low wages... and of course the article doesn't mention that it's health care is much better than ours here in this country.

castro's been in power from jfk, through lbj, nixon, ford, carter, reagan, bush, clinton, and bush... and we've had trade embargos against cuba since 1962! it's a wonder they've been able to survive.

if anything, the injustice of low wages and anything else going on may be more to blame on this side of the gulf of mexico...
