#9 Cubans got fed up with the failures of Marxism and Communism.

Well, hell! I was so sure they would finally get communism right this time.

I don't want to be a Negative Nancy, but if you can't get something working after trying for a hundred years, maybe, just maybe, your initial assumptions are wrong. I recommend iterating faster like we do in the engineering world when we are "exploring the solution space". Think Elon Musk blowing up rockets right and left and ending up with cheap commercial space transport vs Virgin Galactic's recent spam-in-a-can flight. Revolt early, revolt often!

#10 Pres. Juvie-Sniffer could not be allowed to call the Cuban political prisoners-in-waiting "Insurrectionists," now, could he?

Nor could his handlers allow him to attribute the protests to reaction against an illegitimate and unpopular government.

Ergo, the space between rock and hard-place is called "The Covid."
