Let the Coral Gables' Cuban junta take over Havana? Let America's 'vulture capitalists' destroy Cuba? (Miami: real estate, lawyers)

[cuba libre]

There is an army of lawyers amassing in Coral Gables, Fl. I thought this would be an interesting forum to offer a good discussion about the future of Cuba.


They represent the interests of a few former land owning families from Cuba pre-1959. Are there people in Miami who believe that the forcible removal of Cubans from their homes to make way for -or to simply retake property that was once theirs is justified? I am afraid these few represented individuals and their 'families' will take over their Havana properties and forcibly evict thousands of Cubans who have lived on their properties for the better part of half a century.

There is nothing that would make me sicker than a Cuba with McDonalds, Taco Bell and Starbucks on every corner. Puerto Rico has totally prostituted itself to American levels of cheap corporatization and franchise monopolization. If the rich Miami Cubans buy (or forcibly overtake) vast tracts of prime Havana real estate ie the Malecon row buildings, Old Havana, 5th Ave. (embassy row) etc, and then give whatever's left - the scraps - to vulture corporatists who will build rows of fast food restaurants for 'ordinary Cubans' in the impoverished edges of La Habana, Cuba will forever be lost.

I have some VERY sad news for you. Cuba is likely to be the next source of any kind of economic boom in this country, and it's ALL going to go to the Wal-marts, Taco Bells, Burger Kings, and other well financed major businesses in the US. Stopping it will be like stopping the tide or the roads in south Florida from being blocked with celebration when they admit Castro has died.

Cuba has always giving up its ars to the hightest bidder. Now it belongs to Venezuela and China. If things change next year, it might be the USA buying up all of Cuba's available land. I really don't see any wrong doing with Wal-mart, Starbucks or BK in the streets of Havana. Take capitalism and money, that's what will bring change to the poor people of Cuba. Nothing can stop big corporations from making big bucks in the next available opportunity.

Cuba has been giving it in the ars to the US for 50 years now.
Hopeful thinking on your part.

(rep point. great post!)

Takes shaker out, pops in a couple of ice cubes, carefully measures the tequila, then looks inside the shaker and nods head and just pours, listening to the swish of the liquor hitting the ice.
