  2.  @degamispoudegamis  No. The miracles of socialism. US sanctions are not responsible for Cuban doctors' low salaries. Take it up with the Cuban government, their employers.

  7.  @jamesmorton5017  The core of the problem is Cuba's socialist/communist model. The rest of the Caribbean is every bit as limited in resources and aside from Haiti, isn't nearly as badly off as Cuba.

  14.  @collinsjean2422  Embargoes are of little consequence as Cuba killed off private enterprise and domestic economic productivity a long time ago resigning itself to living off of Soviet, Chinese and US (via remittances) handouts.

  18.  @anonimus648  And most likely are either trust-fund babies or public-sector workers whose salaries come from the very same working class they claim to have so much solidarity with.
