Apparently conservatives no longer care much about principles. The expropriation and nationalization of American commercial assets in Cuba was the reason for the embargo of Cuban goods in the first place. Castro could have lifted the US embargo any time in the last 60 years simply by settling legitimate claims.

Nobody here even seems to realize this history. But it was, and is, real. The claims can still be settled if the next Cuban jefe decides to get smart for a change.

La Habana sure could use a nice Trump Casino.

How long does this principle hold for?

For example, if my parents bought a house 50 years ago, passed away, and I inherited it 30 years ago, but it was subsequently found that they had bought it from someone who themselves bought it from someone 70 years ago with an inheritance that it turned out had been been made possible by their father’s earlier theft from someone else—would I need to hand the house over to the offspring, three generations later, of he who had originally been wronged?

I saw the mess and hostility when the land seized by the communist East Germans was returned to the original owners when the wall came down and unification happened.

Suddenly people no longer owned the land they purchased and built their homes.

“Getting interesting. Who is going to stand up for the property owners from70 years ago? owners are dead. Kids too far removed.”

I will bet you that the big fish here aren’t individuals, but rather corporations. There are no “kids” involved. We’re not talking about getting back some stolen art owned by German Jews and taken by the Nazis here. I will bet you that there are foreign corporations who are running expropriated American plants in Cuba.

Those ‘57 Chebbys in Cuba probably have some foreign diesel under the hood, and it’s been there for 50 years. BTW, just watched a ‘57 Bel Air Convertible go for $150k on one of the TV auto auctions. Who Knew?

There are a lot of abandoned buildings in Poland they can’t do anything about because they were owned by Jews who perished in the Holocaust, because at any time relatives could claim the property.

Gone are the days you could order your ‘special’ car. Only problem it took about 15 weeks to obtain delivery from the dealer.

Missing from the graphic, are the Sedan Deliveries, both windowed, and solid panel.
They were marketed under the truck line, but shared the same body style as the “150” Handyman wagon. A “D” in the VIN, and one piece rear liftgate, were among the features that set them apart.

China will not complain as their creditors gobble up entire harbors and sea ports in Africa. Trump will turn Cuba into another guam or Puerto Rico with certain US citizen rights. Maybe they can become a place where little Marco goes to be their Senator if granted State Status. Trump may well reshape the United States and Issue another Statehoods in this type of process. Stars and Stripes forever!

Thanks.

Interesting point.

How much fun was involved in designing that Yuge parts kit?

Oops, looks like there was an El Camino.

Something else left off the graphic.

My dad drove a white 57 El Camino with a red interior.

But the car of envy was owned by a friend whose dad owned the barber college and had my friend working since he was very young. As a result, as a junior in high school, my friend drove a 59 cat’s eyes Impala coupe, white over black, that was lowered and had side pipes. Hubba hubba.
