Cuba has a dual currency system – the local currency (which has the acronym CUP) is supposed to be used by local people for all trade, but is virtually worthless. The international currency (CUC) is fixed at a price of $1/1 Euro per CUC, and tourists are supposed to trade all the money for CUC. In practice, you only need Maumee State Park Oregon deer shirt to trade at the government stores – everyone else takes dollars if asked.The government stores are interesting, because they each carry a small subset of items that you might find at a supermarket, and it’s a different set of items each day/week. We weren’t sure whether to trust the water, so we spent a lot of time tracking down bottled water at various government stores the first few days, before we realized that the private stores (Cuba has had some market economy elements since the fall of the USSR) had a more useful assortment of goods. But the government stores usually had the high end consumables, like cigars, liquor, and fancy chocolates and stuff, guarded behind the counter at exorbitant prices. So it doesn’t surprise me that people in desperate need and rioting over shortages would choose to loot those expensive/black-market-friendly consumables.
Best Maumee State Park Oregon deer shirt
They didn’t “bet on the wrong horse.” There was only one horse to bet on. They had no other choice. Maumee State Park Oregon deer shirt were under the rule of Batista, a US puppet dictator. Before the Revolution, Cuba was basically just a place for US politicians to cheat on their wives and gamble. The average Cuban didn’t have access to medical care or education. Hell, the entirety of Latin America and the Caribbean basically existed for US companies to utilize slave labor and rake in profits. The Soviets helped them liberate themselves, paid them more than their goods were worth to jumpstart their economy, but soon collapsed.They shouldn’t need trade from Capitalist countries though right? After all, the Communists have their economics right and us Capitalists are the ones who have it fucked up. I bet Communist Cuba is a paradise compared to literal Capitalist hell holes like the U.S. or Germany!
