Barely enough time in the day to develop new features? Quit using your “full time job” to post genocide denial and Stalin apologism.
I can’t remember the last time Lemmy added a new feature that actually benefits admins or users. The Piefed devs are constantly coming out with new features, maybe it’s because they don’t waste the whole day banning people for left wing political views like saying genocide is bad.
I’d say the food situation is the worst without a doubt compared to other islands in the Caribbean. Jamaica had phenomenal food when we visited last year in March. Every meal felt like a 5 star resto.
Cuba had butter packets imported from Poland. I suspect a lot of their food is imported. There is lots of land in Cuba but according to my bus driver, something like 95% of the land is controlled by the government and farmers who work that land are paid by the government.
I was told that everyone gets paid the same regardless of job so there isn’t much demand in being a farmer, which accounts for farm and food shortages despite having more than enough land for it.
I do know that as we were driving, we’d drive past these huge fields of grass. Nothing there but huge mowed fields. There would be guys with weed wackers mowing the fields. Felt like a waste of time and energy considering they weren’t parks where people would hang out. Very well-kept but for absolutely no reason.
I imagine it’s a bunch of factors - what I mentioned and the fact that they’re embargoed by the US which makes obtaining goods of any kind exceedingly difficult and costly.
Thank you for the info. Will look more into the stats when I can later.
Wonder why if the government owns 95% they don’t cultivate it. I was under the understanding that the government moved farm land out of the government at the end of the Soviet Union.
