That is not the context the Compost wants to present this in, of course.

Inequality is growing in Cuba, threatening the legacy of Castro’s revolution

That is the subtitle. Further down:

Communist Party elders want to keep a lid on market forces, but with every incremental opening, yawning income gaps emerge. The owner of a small private restaurant can earn hundreds of dollars a day, or more, in a country where three-quarters of the labor force works for the state and the average government salary is $20 a month. Tour guides and hotel chambermaids make more than scientists and doctors.

Younger Cubans do not seem too troubled. But these disparities, authorities fear, bear the seeds of social tensions, resentments and crime. …

Oh, that evil capitalism creating income inequality. If only the revolution were not betrayed!

Who eats in these “small, private restaurants where the owners can make hundreds of dollars/day”? People on benefits of less than $1/day can afford to purchase meals? Is that $20/month all discretionary? Or does everyone have a side hustle, just like US welfare areas?

That's the author's theme all right.

Not the earlier-mentioned fact that most Cubans make $20/month. No problem with that.
