Not that long ago I was driving though down town Havana, I passed by thousands of people walking, riding bikes or pushing carts made from various things.. we happened to stop in front of a building. I looked at it and realized that at one time it had been a department store but it was now chained up and empty of anything that would make it so. I then looked a little higher and could see the outline of the letters that had once formed the store name.
Sadly this store would have been able to sell the people on the streets the bikes that they need. The tools to fix them and not have to tie them with rope or rubber.
But that store was taken when Castro took over. He " Spread the Wealth ". I also happened to notice that the people that work in government have nice clothes, Not uniforms like most employees but VERY nice clothes. Armani etc..
The schools are GREAT and no one goes without an education. Medical is great. when they have the tools to treat you. Wonderful thing this socialism
By the way. I was able to read that the store had once been a Sears.
