@infinitesoul8941 Free house but no utilities or maintenance. Free education but no jobs and an economy dependent on "charity" from other countries. Free healthcare but no supplies or even doctors as they're rented out abroad like a temp agency with the government keeping 90% of their earnings.

@sinabagherisarvestani8924 LOL. What development? Cuba hasn't really developed since the Batista era.

@sinabagherisarvestani8924 <Well it has developed> Into what? Haiti without the instability?

@spellerlittlewing But Cuba as a whole is poor.

@tonttu7979 5th wealthiest country in the Americas pre-Revolution = a lot worse?

@tonttu7979 90% of Cubans under Batista didn't starve and Cuba attracted a decent amount of Jamaican migrants.
