Yep. For one example, if this man was at least in a free economy, he could get another duck and breed some ducks behind his shack to sell in the market. This would at least provide him with a little extra money and someone else in town with some duck meat. But Cubans aren't even allowed to breed the chickens, pigs, and ducks that wander in and out of their huts. (I know, because I recommended this once only to be met with a room full of laughter at my naivete.)

They could also reap from the eggs they lay. What a shame. Hopefully Castro will pop off soon, but the bad always seem to stay forever. I do see great things for Cuba once this happens. Tourists will be going to Cuba rather than Florida. One can see that Havana was once a very beautiful, vibrant place.

I really do have to see about a plane ticket now...to Florida that is.
