Re: Another Cuban boatlift.
The only ‘boatlifts’ allowed in Cuba are organized by the Commie tyrants to get rid of people. Just as it is illegal to form a library in Cuba, no one can own a boat. If you were allowed a boat, you could feed yourself, your family, and others. If you owned a boat, you might get it in your head to leave the Worker’s Paradise. Rationing is a staple for control of the masses.
In Nicaragua, before the Sandinista commies took power, there were thriving farmers markets in the small towns and big cities. Farmers and ranchers would bring their crops, goods to the towns to sell and barter. The day after the commies took over, all of the food in the country became the “people’s food” and strict rationing was put in place. Any farmer found to be “hoarding” their crops would be imprisoned, or just shot.
I grew up on the naval base in GITMO. Back then, Cubans came over to the base to work as bus drivers, waiters, maids, etc. Almost all their wages were forfeited to Castro as they left the base to go back home. But they ate well on base and fasted over the weekends, so their family got their food at home.
One day, our maid came in clearly shaken up. In the middle of the night, Cuban soldiers had blasted the locks off everyone’s doors using automatic weapons. They were told they had no right to lock their doors, because everyone shares in everything. From that point on, anyone could walk into their home and take whatever they wanted.
“Canada is about to dump Trudeau.”

From your lips to God’s ears.
“From that point on, anyone could walk into their home and take whatever they wanted.”
Of course the Cuban soldiers get to keep what they take.
