They couldn’t realistically take on Walmart, Amazon, Target, Lowe’s, and major grocers all at once. They’re just not organized enough. We’ve already seen them give up or flop in court when challenged.

That's good additional clarification, I only meant to point out that graphite moderated, water cooled reactors had existed in the US and UK.

They had near total subsidy from the USSR from about 1960 until 1990, and in that time they developed precisely no industry and no agricultural output. The Cuban government in the first few decades was primarily focused on exporting revolut

This is a false choice, but the food supply was much better. Cubans deserve a representative government.

The embargo doesn’t cover food or medical supplies, and Cuba trades with Europe and China. Cuba sucks because its government is terrible. If they could trade with the US they’d have almost nothing to trade. You don’t seenBYD electric vehicl

What good is “healthcare” is you don’t have basics like antibiotics and wound dressings? The idea that Cuba healthcare is anything but terrible is a myth. Any stats coming from the Cuban government about health outcomes shouldn’t be taken s

Why defend them? They have for decades exported repression, stoked civil wars, and held their own population captive. And again the embargo doesn’t stop most countries from trading with them. They could host tourists from Europe and do, but

The Cuban state firms don’t produce anything of value. They’re a net recipient of food aid, their tourism industry is anemic and the largest source of dollars and euros. Their medical exports have been called slave labor by the UN. What cou

That’s part of my point. They were a basket case with a ton of free support, and still are while trading with China and Europe. It’s just ridiculous to blame the embargo as ridiculous as the embargo is. If you read what the Soviets had to s

The embargo doesn’t cover medical supplies and Cuban buys what medicine and medical supplies it has mainly from the US. The embargo also doesn’t cover food. Cuba also does a lot of trade with China and Spain but has relatively little to act

Sure but you have to scale that prostate intervention change across literally everything in every kind of internal medicine. There's just no way to justify the cost of doing this regularly for most people.

You can accurately describe elixir syntax in a few paragraphs, and the semantics are pretty straightforward. I’d imagine doing complex supervision trees falls flat.
