To say that Cubans are happy is not to say that Cubans are happy, and the pressure on Cubans' lives is too small.
Although the Cuban state is poor, all the money is spent on the common people!
Education here is free for all, books and school uniforms are distributed free of charge by the country, from primary school to university and even graduate doctorates, the country has a package to the end, and students only need to be good students!
So the level of education in Cuba is quite high, with an enrolment rate of 100 school-age children and a secondary school enrolment rate of 99!
College students make up 7 of the country's population!
Moreover, students can participate in sports for free, and Cuba is also a sports powerhouse in some sports------ their volleyball, track and field and baseball, are among the best in the world.
There is also medical care, the country with the second largest number of doctors per capita in the world, second only to Heda Pear, free treatment for all, and every community has a community clinic that provides 24-hour service and medical treatment at any time!
Cuban girls wearing nurse uniforms and black stockings can often be seen everywhere on the streets of Cuba, Yang Meng thought it was the temptation of erotic uniforms, but it turned out that they were community nurses working here!
If you need to be hospitalized for a serious illness, not to mention the comprehensive medical expenses, even the food and hospitalization expenses will be waived!
There is also housing, the state uniformly distributed, although the housing is tight, the housing is old and old, but basically guarantees that each family of four can be divided into about 100 square meters of housing!
The rent is a few blue pesos per month, which is equivalent to a few cents of RMB, and the rent is yours after paying the rent for 18 years!
Even if the house looks shabby, it's better to have a house than nothing, right?
The reason why the Chinese people feel that Cuba is poor is also a matter of course, and they feel that the long-term blockade of Cuba by the Stars and Stripes countries will inevitably lead to poverty in Cuba, and Huaxia also aids Cuba.
This aid really can't represent everything, China has also assisted Brunei with 4 billion US dollars, but Brunei has a total population of only 400,000 US dollars, which means that they are given 10,000 US dollars per person, and Brunei's per capita GDP is seven times that of Huaxia!
From this point of view, is Brunei poor?
Of course, the account can't be calculated like this, the key depends on where the money is used.
If it is used to build high-speed rail, 4 billion US dollars is the price of 280 kilometers of high-speed rail。。。。。。
The situation in Cuba is similar, according to the GDP per capita of the National Bureau of Statistics, Cuba is almost the same as China, and if you look at the IF data, Cuba is even higher than China.
Moreover, in the WWF report, the only country in the world that has achieved sustainable development is not China, but Cuba!
In terms of people's livelihood index alone, the life of Cubans is also much stronger than that of China, for example, the literacy rate is 997 in Cuba and 900 in China; The average life expectancy is also higher than that of China; The unemployment rate is also among the lowest in the world; And Cuba is the country with the smallest gap between rich and poor in the world, and there are no beggars in this country at all!
The crime rate is the lowest in the Western Hemisphere, and there are no red-light-districts, b-societies, drug addiction and drug trafficking。。。。。。
(Well, don't be disappointed, with the development of tourism in the last two years and the reduction of lockdowns in the Stars and Stripes, the erotica industry is very marketable here, not legal but it does exist.) ） Of course, the quality of life is also high and low, and a large number of Cubans have been smuggled into the Stars and Stripes country, and the money earned there can be remitted to the family at will, and the family can be comfortable!
For example, an ordinary Cuban can live in Cuba with a salary of 300 blue pesos a month, or almost 25 US dollars.
If an expatriate doctor like Oscar goes out and gives 90 percent of his salary to the Cuban authorities, he can still have more than 400 dollars left a month, which is equivalent to the income of fifteen ordinary Cubans!
Can life be bad in his family?
This is a common disease in many social-social-democratic countries, such as the North, Cuba, and early China, including the early China, there are such people, desperately smuggling to the Stars and Stripes, Eagle Countries and other developed countries to earn money, and the money earned is brought home------ no matter how hard it is to live outside, it is enough to pick out a little bit from the mouth to live comfortably!
When the Chinese people's salary is dozens of yuan a month, if someone smuggles to the country of Stars and Stripes, and earns thousands of dollars a month there, they can send a hundred dollars back home, and the family can live a good life with delicious food and spicy food!
Of course, now that after the reform and opening up of China, the lives of ordinary people are getting better and better, and there are fewer and fewer people staying in the Stars and Stripes country over the years, and it is more of an eye-opening place for studying abroad.
However, northern countries and Cuba are still similar to those in China, so many people choose to flee their hometowns to earn money for their families to improve their lives.
You know, even if you eat subsistence allowance in the Stars and Stripes Country, you still have $700 a month!
This is equivalent to the income of an average Cuban worker for nearly three years!
Can they not want to go out?
Another point is the same in these countries, that is, even if someone smuggles out and establishes a foothold in the Stars and Stripes, few people take their father and mother and family to live there.
We often see people taking their wives out, but except for the big tycoons who are really developed in foreign countries, they almost don't take their parents over.
This is not unfilial piety, but the greatest filial piety!
Come on!
In a social-socialist country like Cuba, where medical care, education and housing are almost free, the pressure of life is very small!
What if you go out?
Is life the same?
Just go out and suffer by yourself, and don't go out with your family!
Just stay at home and enjoy the blessings!
As for those who ran out, whether they were eating bran in the Stars and Stripes or devoting themselves to the erotic industry, that is, they cooked dumplings in their teapots------ they knew it in their hearts!
Moreover, because of their hostile attitude towards Cuba, the Stars and Stripes have a 'rejection attitude' towards smugglers from all over the world, but they have pursued a policy of 'one dry foot and one wet foot' toward Cuban stowaways, that is, if the Cuban smugglers have one foot in the water and one foot on the shore, they must send the smugglers back, but if both feet are on the shore, then stay.
How many pieces of these two feet go ashore at the same time?
So there will be no repatriation at all!

This is an immigration policy aimed at subverting the Cuban regime, and in the past half century or so, Cuba has seen three waves of smuggling immigrants, but this has not had much impact on Cuba, but on the Stars and Stripes: they have to open their doors to Cuban smugglers while facing high unemployment in their own countries, and this policy has not changed since the two embassies have resumed diplomatic relations。。。。。。
But Cubans are not stupid, young people go out to fight and bring a good life to their families, but the main people in the family still have to live in Cuba, after all, although they are not rich here, they can't starve to death, right?
All in all, most of Cuba's fiscal revenue is used in people's livelihood, although the people's income is very low, but because of the birth, old age, sickness and death, education and housing are covered by the state, and the basic living materials are also guaranteed (the original ticket can receive a certain amount of extremely low-cost food every month, and the planned economy period in China, food stamps, meat stamps, cloth stamps, etc., and later canceled the ticket system, but the blue peso food store was retained, which can be used to buy food with blue peso, the price is extremely cheap, rice five blue pesos a kilogram, Eggs are three blue pesos a piece, and the price of pork is more expensive, about twenty blue pesos a catty.
As for what mutton and chicken prices are very cheap.
You can buy a pound for a few blue pesos, and it's cheaper to buy something like that, because they don't eat it. ） Since Castro's death, his brother Raul has deregulated the private economy, and the individual economy has proliferated, but private employers are very reluctant to hire employees from state-owned enterprises, and 'laziness and stealing' is the main point, the simplest example, Xiao Peng bought 100 authentic Bolivar cigars for 100 blue pesos.
It is equivalent to 30 yuan.
It was stolen from the cigar factory.
Seeing that Xiao Peng bought so much, that guy was still very excited, and he had to supply Xiao Peng for a long time in the future, saying that he would take too little this time, and take more next time。。。。。。
However, Oscar stopped Xiao Peng and didn't let him buy more, as for the reason: only 100 cigars are allowed to leave Cuba, 50 on his body, 50 in his luggage, and he can't take them out if he buys more!
Is this a problem for Xiao Peng?
Not at all!
Buy as much as you want and take out as much as you want!
He made up his mind to buy it in Havana, no wonder so many people smuggled cigars from Cuba!
This Nima is profitable!
You know, Cuban cigars are the most popular Cuban products in the Stars and Stripes, and there is no one!
Every year, the Stars and Stripes alone consume about four million Cuban cigars and millions of counterfeit Cuban cigars------- and this is despite the Stars and Stripes banning the sale of Cuban cigars.
The day before the signing of the blockade of Cuba, Kennedy asked White House press secretary Pierre Salinger to do him a 'small favor' and get him a thousand Cuban cigars, which had to be done the next morning!
As a result, Pierre Salinger ran all night and bought him 1,200 sticks!
The next day, when all the cigars were delivered to Kennedy, Kennedy signed a bill prohibiting Cuban goods from entering the Stars and Stripes.
Since then, Cuban cigars have become illegal in the Stars and Stripes.
But even Kennedy couldn't resist the temptation of a cigar, let alone the other Stars and Stripes.
Every year cigars are smuggled in a variety of ways.
The most interesting thing is that of an artist in the Stars and Stripes, who trained a flock of pigeons to smuggle cigars from Cuba to the Stars and Stripes.
To this day, the rich people of the Stars and Stripes bring out Cuban cigars to entertain friends, and they all say, 'This is from a Cuban relative'。。。。。。。
Come on, how is it possible for cigars to be mailed to the Stars and Stripes?
The more Xiao Peng visited Cuba, the more he felt that this country was magical, and the unique dual currency system made Xiao Peng feel a little nervous, if it wasn't for Oscar, they would have spent countless extra money!
