#1 Looks like it'll be a bad day at El Jefe Industries today. The CEO sounds pissed.

#2 Was it a six-hour criticism?

#3 "Yeah. Go ask all those other dictators about their money. Leave me and my millions alone."

#4 Forbes is wrong.
Castro doesn't own 1 percent of Cubas GDP.
He owns ALL Cuba...including its people.

A worker in the tourism industry receives a salary of 12 dollars a month. The foreign tourism company (hotel chain etc) pays 20 times as much to the state for this employee.

I think Castro would be welcome at any major corporation as CEO if he could pull off the same trick there.

#7 "Cuba is the only Latin American country that fights inequality and has the fairest income distribution in the world, the statement said."

Indeed, everyone makes 12 dollars a month. Fair enough huh?

#8 Better check your figures, TGA. Everyone makes nearly $12 a month, and they are happy about it too. Ask anyone!

#9 Nope, they're ecstatic now that they got their $12 and a rice cooker!

#10 No, they're happy. They'd be ecstatic if the rice cooker were free.

#11 I recall the rice cookers cost $12. An entire months salary to buy a rice cooker. BTW, in the rice eating world, a rice cooker is a must have item.
