Cubans Speak to Power: Vanguard

Cubans are growing disillusioned with their leaders everyday.
In this rare but powerful viral video, a young Cuban speaks to power at a public hearing. The reason this action is so rare is that reprisal is common.

"Vanguard," airing Mondays at 9/8c on Current TV, is a no-limits documentary series whose award-winning correspondents put themselves in extraordinary situations to immerse viewers in global issues that have a large social significance.

As an ex-employee who worked and ex- foreigner in Cuba, I see people eat everyday: but not good food at all, people have jobs, but yet I was making more money in a regular position than a doctor in Cuba. People have free healthcare yes, yet they wait forever to be serviced and sometimes medication is not there. As a foreigner and employee of a industry where Cuba makes their money, I've seen doctors faster than a Cuban citizen, people go to school but yet no opportunity or growth for good work

yo te entiendo perfectamente, amigo. Entiendo perfectamente que el margen de superacion es mas limitado en Cuba, pero la belleza de los asuntos politicos es que aunque creamos que somos TAN diferentes en nuestras formas de pensar, todos (excluyendo ciertas RATAS tanto izquierdistas como derechitas que solo piensan en aprovecharse de la gente para hacerse millonarios) solo queremos el MEJOR desempeno para nuestras respectivas patrias.

Que bien, rage253, veo que eres salvadore~o.

Si, todo en esta vida cuesta, pero hay que ver hasta cuando estamos dispuestos a pagar. Creo que si seria bueno que fueras, pero no a montar un autobus de turismo que te lleva a un lindo haotel, si no que vieras detras de los carteles comunistas y las fachadas de los hoteles, encontraras una Cuba semi destruida pero mucho mas linda y rica.

I see where you're coming from sir, and I totally respect your opinion and I'm so glad we are having such a diplomatic discussion. I really want to go to Cuba and see things for myself, first hand. What I'm getting at is that Cuba is by far doing better than any other country in central america or the carribean And what I'm saying is that all of that does come at some expense

No hay problema amibbdos, Si el nombre me delata. saludos

[amibbdos]

perdona-me, tengo una enorme influencia portugués cuanto a mi español ahora

su nombre "cubanistico" es una grande pista para adivinar su nacionalidad
