Because that’s “communism”. America has gone after countless countries for preventing foreign ownership of goods and services.

Every now and then I also think of some of the jokes I made as a kid, especially at the expense of certain minority groups, and I cringe. But I’m glad we can learn from those experiences and grow, unlike others who double down and say you can’t joke about anything nowadays.
I guess the idea is that he’d have to be convicted of an insurrection? And then Congress or the Supreme Court would have to take him off the ballot?
I actually get the idea, I just don’t like the inconsistency between this and states deciding their voters (like some not allowing felons). There’s a philosophical inconsistency to it I don’t like about what states control about their own elections. But I also get the fear, because red states would start removing Democratic candidates for no reason.
Not sure why you were down voted because I agree: I’m not tired of superhero movies, just bad or mid movies. The fact that Guardians 3 and Spiderverse made lots of money and were really good movies was not a coincidence. It just means Marvel has to try a bit more than they used to.
The US embargo also affects other countries. They don’t let ships dock at Cuba and then the US, for example. The reason they get oil from Venezuela is because they’re also iced out of much of the world market by US through sanctions.
Also, the US is 80 miles off the coast of Cuba and huge. Them not being available to trade with Cuba is a huge disadvantage.
There’s an embargo on literally everything else that makes it hard to get food, including they have difficulty even transferring money, or getting the parts and machines to grow their own food, or oil to run them.
Then why the embargo? Surely communism would ruin the country enough on its own and they could just lift it…
If it’s purely because they don’t have much worth trading then why not lift the embargo and give them access to world trade, banks, and resources again? What’s the harm?
But things that help them grow food does fall under the embargo, such as farm machine parts, gas, and tools. Also, it’s still hard for them to buy food because the US males it hard to trade money, use banks, or send money back to Cuba.
It’s in the Wikipedia article you posted lol
Let’s start with why were all these people starving and desperate for aid?
I hope this is good!!! So excited!
One day I’ll pull that off…
So the opposite of austerity lol
This comment is sweet. I already try to comment but I’ll definitely be doing it more now.
Hot take I know, but they could not destroy a whole region filled with civilians.
I really like the movie experience myself. One, it’s nice to go out (I need every excuse I can on wfh days). It’s a nice little event or date night. I also think paying to go out and being with other people forces one to pay attention, talk less, and scroll on phone less. You get more of the artist’s vision and will probably catch more details. Also, my sound system can’t be that good because I live in a condo with neighbors who would complain if I upped my sound system too much. I also love watching movies with other people sometimes. The experience with a good Marvel movie when other people cheer, or with a comedy or horror and hearing other people laugh or jump is pretty great.
To me, the main problem is the money. Movie theaters are just so crazy expensive nowadays. Every theater needs to be a luxury experience to make it worth it. Theaters should be enforcing quiet and no cell phones, because it’s crazy to spend that much doe a night out and have someone’s little phone light or talking ruining it.
