Double Crossing Raul

You Cuban government workers whose job it is to come to this blog to check up on what we're doing have to feel stupid right about now. Even the poorest Americans here are doing far better than you. They have toilet paper, good food and other regular creature comforts that accompany normal 21st Century living. Sure we have homelessness but it appears you have even more than we do and if a good sized hurricane rolls through Cuba millions of you will join the ranks. Raul has elevated foreigners and made you their servants for less money than we can buy a bag of peanuts here. Don't you feel double crossed? I have exposed you to an alternative economic model that will transform Cuba into a wealthy nation. You've given the Castro boys a half century to make you prosperous. How much longer do you think it will take?

Okay so you're feeling stupid right about now but this is not the time to waller in self pity. You need a plan to get out of this swindle. Actually, you are already well on the way to freeing yourselves. Namely, stop working and only do work when it is demanded of you. We'll explain to any tourists that still plan to travel to Cuba that all the hotels are now self-service and if they want to address a Cuban they better be holding up money and I'm talking the kind that folds. Please disable all machinery to make it impossible to do work. Please feel free to swipe anything and everything from the tourists hotels and other foreign investments that suits you. Does your house need a door knob or some plumbing? Help yourself! You've earned it. You must spread the word of this planned labor strike. Don't worry about damaging the machinery because we're coming real soon to put all that stuff into the museum and replacing it with the cutting edge stuff that will really knock your socks off!

The reality Cubanos is, it is YOU (11 million Cubans) against Raul and a few hundred of his well off henchmen who are all living pretty well. Share what little food and other comforts that you have with one another to sustain yourselves. Remember, the slower you work the sooner you will reap your reward. So everybody get ready and do nothing...except maybe putting some of those old machines out to pasture. Trabajo no mas! Pobreza no mas! Raul no mas!
