Oddbean new post about login | logout Covid vaccination is not mandatory, however, if you were not vaccinated during Covid, you would lose benefits (bags of food, etc.) and suffer stronger confinements with members of your family... for state workers (the vast majority) it was mandatory The vaccine statistics are false, I was vaccinated in Cuba and I had to report only 2 adverse reactions a week to avoid sanctions in my job
You were a doctor.... im not surprised. The rest of the population it wasnt mandatory unless you got on a plane or a boat etc....
Bro, if you didn't get vaccinated you couldn't continue in your workplace... the government controls all the media, obviously you're never going to hear it except from someone who has been close to this and outside of Cuba, if you say it in Cuba it's likely that For 5 days the police chief has been knocking on the door of your house
no they dont. Ill call you out on this one. You can watch media from all around the world just not CNN or FOX or any American news. Mexican, Russian, european, Asian news was everywhere.
no thats not true, i had many people criticize the government there but for other reasons, they werent scared of telling me and werent looking over their shoulder. This is Florida Cuba propaganda, Scarface lol
When was the last time you visited your home? It sounds like decades...
The government (controlled by corporations) controls media in every country. ESPECIALLY IN YANKEESTAN. This is why we hate all forms of government.
The things both Biden and Trump say to their people is that they solve all the problems on this planet lol. And Americans gobble it up like Bill Cosby's J-E-L-L-O!
And the yankees say there are no private businesses in Cuba lol. Thank you for clarifying that there is a distrinction between state and private industry.
Private property in Cuba??? Of course, the Mipymes raise their prices, confiscate their products and force them to sell them if they do not do the government's price... come on bro
Im only quoting from your implied reply about "state workers"
This is how they differentiate the workers of Mipymes (“self-employed” as they are called) who suffer everything I mentioned before from the workers of state companies
I know you differentiate between locals and foreigners and how they are treated. I'll accept that as a reasonable point. However, when I visit Dominican or Mexico, the standards are much lower, hotels cracked, dirty, falling apart. Nobody smiles at me and they all expect tips for doing a shitty job. In Cuba, the customs officials ladies even flirt with me when i speak spanish with them, nobody expects tips, not allowed to ask, and everyone smiles and goes above and beyond in their job. Things are dong to a higher standard and properly. You get a sense of a non-degenerate society. This makes me want to tip them. Then I go to the poorest neighbourhoods I can find in cuba and give them all my old clothes, some money, old technilogical items. In those poorest neighborhoods, nobody is homeless. I've only seen one person in Havana who looked homeless, even though he wasnt, just a hardcore alcoholic.
Bro, they do it because your tip is more than what they earn in a month for their salary, they eat thanks to your tip that's why they make an effort to earn it... from other countries I can't give much opinion on the service, I've been through a few and it seemed similar to me everything in general at the service There are homeless people too... I have seen several die on the street, even from not eating... but we return to the same thing: I cannot put that on my death certificate because they punish me at work... in other countries there may be more or less: I don't know. My point is the same: the government lies too much, extremely
Bro, all governments lie. Many of them more than the Cuban government. American government especially. Have you seen the president of the United States on television? They think they are the ones who defeated Hitler too lol
Bro, my tip for mexicans and dominicans is more than their monthly salary too, by more than in Cuba. Yet they frown and grimace and demand the tips and fail to deliver quality service. I felt like i was being held at gunpoint. Not to mention the abductions for organs in Mexico and Dominican.
