I hope I can explain myself better than I did in the prior post. This area survives on touristry which equates to the residents paying a higher price for gas, food and entertainment. Granted there are areas that are blighted, low and middle class sections and, of course, the mega rich who can afford to live the good life.

Those who make the journey here want to rejoin their families who left many years ago. They set their foot on dry land and they're here to make the most out of the freedoms this country offers. If that means they have to start at the bottom, so be it. Many immigrants started at the bottom. I know my ancestors did when they came to this country.

The point was if the embargo was to weaken the country in order to the people to overtake the government, it's not working. They're rather come to this country and wait until such time as an easier solution presents itself so they can return to the homeland.
