i recall being called stupid.. for suggesting that human iniaitive, property ownership was economic drivers of development.. more pointeldly I recall being told on here that mom and pop resturants that were shut down in the early 2000 was nessesary.. as it was a form of capitalism...
funny that, when I discuss Cuba it is from experience.. conversations with people in power.. not Znet..
Still mi primo miss directed.... Last year the number of people being made redundant ok fired was 1/2 a million.. the report I heard is that it is now 1 million will lose state job...
That is 20 % of the work force.. (assuming that the 50% of the work force is under 18 or retired or in child care)...
" buaracratic resistance is futile" coded message for resistance driven by ideology ???..
The term beuracratic is coded to signal opposition with in the party that supported Batista..
Still mi primo who looks like one of mi familia gallego reforms are in line with the thesis I postulated my galician connections....
still u know the story all the accusations that have been leveled at me: , I cant spell, I condemned the soviet army for raping 80% of the women under 30 in Berlin, I am stupid, I am a running dog for suggesting reform, I lie when I mention that the PCC was in power with the Batista regime, that I am a pimp for capitalism, that calling apes African American is rascism, I am undeducated,
Still I am no epert on dogs farting in Havana.. But it seems the Cuban assembly agreed with me in terms of economic reform!
<span style="font-weight: bold">Cuba National Assembly approves economic reforms</span>
Cuba's National Assembly has given its backing to President Raul Castro's plans to reform the country's stagnating economy.
The reforms, ranging from the setting up of small businesses to reducing bureaucracy, had already been agreed by the ruling Communist party.
Mr Castro also hinted that changes to the country's controversial travel and emigration rules could be introduced.
He said those attempting to undermine the reforms could face prosecution.
The BBC's Michael Voss in Havana says one of the biggest obstacles Mr Castro now faces is resistance from party bureaucrats who face losing their job under the changes.
But the president warned lawmakers that "bureaucratic resistance is useless".
Mr Castro told parliament that the time had come for social and political reforms to be introduced. "Let's clean our heads of all sorts of nonsense," he said.

The measures the assembly was discussing in its twice-yearly session include cutting more than one million state jobs in a move to reduce Cuba's vast bureaucracy and reducing the state's role in areas such as agriculture, retail and construction.
Small private businesses will be encouraged to step in to fill the space, while state subsidies for goods and service will be phased out.
Mr Castro also said the government was "working to orchestrate the modernisation" of the country's migration policies.
Human rights groups have long criticised the requirement for Cubans to get government permission to travel abroad - a remnant of the days when Cubans emigrated for political rather than economic reasons.
Mr Castro said the rules had "played a role in their time and endured unnecessarily".
