Try working on minimum wage in London.
- varjag 10y agoThere are legal, efficient ways out of poverty in the UK. There are none on Cuba.
- IslaDeEncanta 10y agoCubans do not live in poverty. There are neither rich nor poor. And if you think there's an "efficient" way to escape poverty in the UK, you've never been poor.
- varjag 10y agoCubans are poor, and even those who are better off (within Cuban legal bounds) still live miserable lives compared to an average UK poor. Unlike the USA, the UK has efficient universal healthcare and access to quality education, plus working safety net for the citizens. It might not be easy to rise from the poverty, but it is possible and indeed, most Britons are doing OK. As to your small personal dab, I grew up in a Communist country and am familiar with the package, don't need no lectures from guys in Che t-shirts.
- gaius 10y agoMy first job in London in the 90s was £3/hr. But tell me more about this "minimum wage" - £7.50/hr isn't it?
- crdoconnor 10y agoFirst tell me more about how much rent you paid in the early 90s.
