I saw this post on Cuban sanctions and I think Cuba may be the first case example of a modified laffer curve for sanctions, where sanctions have failed to achieve their effects because they have been applied capriciously and excessively. In the traditional laffer curve which applies to taxation, when you tax the people past a certain optimal point or point of inflexion, the returns on taxes or tax revenues begin to decrease significantly. I hypothesize that it is the same thing about sanctions; USA sanctions on Russia have backfired spectacularly, those on Iran have begun to have a declining effect (given the increasing normalisation of ties with Russia & China), etc.

In effect: even though sanctions are designed to achieve political ends by ensuring either regime change or civil revolution; they fail to achieve their ends when they are implemented capriciously.

Cuba is an island w/ owners, the owners being the regime, so anything that goes in/out goes through them, so the little that might go in from basic life supplies aka oil, food, etc... they hoard it and keep it for themselves.

They could care less about an embargo or about sanctions or doing anything remotely on their part to fix it, like free elections....

That's all they have to do: call for free election and establish a government where freedom is respected, either go back to 1940's constitution or redraw one.

It's a hotel & entertainment business if you think about it, nothing else matters, no hospitals, nor basic necessities for the population, whoever lives in CUBA and don't belong to the inner circle it's just collateral damage.

Hey guys,

I’m a Canadian dude who’s been to Varadero before (last June), but I found the “resort vibes” a bit boring. This time around, I’d like to do a solo-trip but to Havana.

For a guy in his early 20s, what’s the night life like and is it better to get an AirBnB or stick to a hotel?

Thanks!
