WORKER’S PARADISE. Cuba has ice cream.
They have a chronic shortage of ice cream, but they do have some ice cream.
A couple of non-gullible journalists went down there with a video camera and recorded the state-run ice cream parlor.
The line on a Sunday was two hours long.
Only one flavor—strawberry—was available.
It costs a little more than two dollars for a scoop.
That’s more than ten percent of Cuba’s state-imposed Maximum Wage of twenty dollars a month.
Such is life when the dictator insists on “socialism or death.”
