You can count on it.

Think about it, Cuba is a time capsule held over from 1962. Everything there is antique, worth money. From their cars, to their furniture to their homes and property.

Now imagine if you were a collector, antique dealer or land developer and had access to everything from 1962!!! That is Cuba. And it's all going to be for sale.

I visit Cuba more than I should and can tell you first hand that Cuba is going to be turned upside down when the Americans are allowed to come there and buy everything on the island. Anything that can be exported, will be exported. The Cubans will be happy as shit because they will get money but they are going to lose something that is priceless... Shelter from the rest of the world.

For as happy as I am for them when they get the freedom many of them long for, I feel bad for them because that freedom is going to come at a great cost, as it always does.
