HOW LOW CAN CUBA GO?

The communist island is low on everything, not just tourism. Cuba is running on empty, reflecting a deepening energy and economic crisis where critical fuel shortages are crippling transport, electricity, tourism, and basic services, driven in large part by cuts in oil supplies and long-term economic pressures.

Meanwhile, Cuba’s entry rules are particularly complex for certain passport holders. Some travelers cannot enter purely for tourism and must fall under specific permitted categories. Documentation requirements differ based on nationality, and special travel cards may be issued instead of standard tourist permits. Visitors must clearly declare the purpose of their trip, with some reasons subject to additional review. Long-standing political factors continue to shape Cuba’s entry system.

The only thing worse than Trump’s approval ratings is the so-called Melania’s hit documentary film release.
Bezos did the world a favor spending 75 million on the Melanie project. Public service to expose the naked social truth. We can only imagine how Melanie feels about Donald.. You did this to me you SOB. You and your bully pulpit lies…… It's in 1600 theaters worldwide just the prints or electronic distribution costs are 1 to 2.5 million.

FRAGILE USA

We have been taught that we're indivisible with justice for all... WHAT HAPPENED TO US?
As we prepare to celebrate America's Anniversary, let us protect our fragile US democracy.
[Verse]
If blood will flow when flesh and steel are one
Drying in the color of the evening sun
Tomorrow's rain will wash the stains away
But something in our minds will always stay
Perhaps this final act was meant to clinch a lifetime's argument
That nothing comes from violence and nothing ever could
For all those born beneath an angry star
Lest we forget how fragile we are

[Chorus]
On and on, the rain will fall
Like tears from a star, like tears from a star
On and on, the rain will say
How fragile we are, how fragile we are

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
On and on, the rain will fall
Like tears from a star, like tears from a star
On and on, the rain will say
How fragile we are, how fragile we are
How fragile we are, how fragile we are

WORSE TIMES

Over the years, US politicians have been particularly skilled at opportunistic adaptation, without being cruel. Specifically, they've successfully courted immigrant communities for electoral gain. However, traditional "mom and pop" businesses continue to struggle with demographic and cultural changes, while the rich continue to gain wealth, and the middle class disappears.
I was offered a GOP Chief job because I was qualified, and not an unqualified yes man.
