Figure this didn't need it's own thread.

TBH, GWB had the best policy.

Basically, Cuba sends Dr's all over the world, makes money from this, but also holds their passports so that the Drs dont leave.

GWB had a program to offer them US citizenship.

Yeah Trump is trying to block poor countries from trading for Cuban medical aid.

He of course has no intentions of making up for their loss of care because he couldn't give less of a fuck if they all die.

Charcoal. Everything is going to run on charcoal.

Murder, I mean, they are literally using slave labor.

I just think it's a smarter (and moral) move to poach skilled doctors as immigrants.

Trump doesn't give a fuck about slavery. Trump refuses to pay people for work they do for him all the time. The only thing Trump gives a fuck about is domination. He sees Cuba isolated and vulnerable, and that means its time to rape it.

Murder, I agree Trump isn't doing this for moral reasons.

My argument is no one involved gives a shit about morals.

I mean, this goes to the root problem with communism, its not in the best or self interest of the individual unless your a politician.

The argument they put out is that they invested in the person so they now owe it to the state for the rest of their life.

The bonuses they get are equivelant to shawshank redemption.

That is not communism. It is every system. Why are you a patriot who, if circumstances demanded, is expected to lay down his life for his country? Dulce et decorum est pro patria mori.

Cuba has been under extreme pressure forever. The medical contract terms are a function of US sanctions.

"Why are you a patriot who, if circumstances demanded, is expected to lay down his life for his country?"

Such as the existential threat of North Vietnam.

"Failing to register for Selective Service is a federal felony punishable by up to 5 years in prison and in fines. Practically, non-registration causes lifelong denial of federal student aid, federal job training, and most federal employment."

I should also note that we require kids to do "volunteer" work just to graduate from high school.

I never registered....nothing happened but they sent some mail 20 years ago.

Jergul, Other systems allow a much greater degree of letting ppl pursue their own self interest.

A Norwegian medical Dr. Isn't pimped out by the state.

Maybe not sanction the crap out of Cuba before jumping to a system analysis of merits and demerits?

Most Norwegian doctors are wage slaves of the State. We are not under decades of sanctions from the US, so choose to pay them relatively well.

Muslim countries suck. Just look at Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Libya or Gaza. They barely have any infrastructure at all and the building stock is in a horrible state. Why dont they keep things in better repair?

Maybe don't let the federal government know about that.

Jergul, I get they have a disadvantage, I wont deny that.

But taking someones passport seems really fucked up.

Cuba, Probably will be closer to Venezuela....that said, i don't know WTF is going on anymore.
