Why would anybody want to live in Cuba when you have a blockade to 'prove' communism doesn't work?
You’re sucking raul’s dick. The US is the largest supplier of food and medicine to Cuba. Throughout the Bush administration, US governors paraded to Cuba to make trade deals for their agricultural products. The products go, of course, to the Cuban government, not directly to the people, forcing the jiniteras to fuck tourists for food.

A surprising lack of attention from hard ballers at the gab on the release of the IG report. I guess the FBI’s commitment to getting all agents “anti-bias” training has put their minds at ease.
At least Mark is happy.  ;)

He also had 76 months of reduced unemployment, so that balanced that out.

The U3 number is bogus and U6 was by no means in his favor either:

https://www.cnsnews.com/news/article/barbara-boland/real-unemployment-138

Since President Barack Obama has been president, the  U-6 unemployment rate rose from 14.25% in January 2009 to a high of 17.1% in October, November and December 2009 and the same rate in February, March, and April 2010.  The U-6 rate did not fall below 14% under Obama until March 2013, when it hit 13.8%, the same rate for October 2013.

...and expressed in more detail:

https://www.realclearmarkets.com/articles/2016/03/28/president_obamas_overrated_unemployment_story_102083.html

When Obama took office, America's potential labor force (the Bureau of Labor Statistics' Civilian Noninstitutionalized population) measured 234.7 million. February 2016's employment report recorded it at 252.6 million - a 7.6% increase. Employment over this period rose from 142.1 million to 151.1 million. Although a net 9 million employment increase, its 6.3% increase is less than the growth in the potential labor force.

The effect on the unemployment rate is far greater. If America still had the 65.5% labor force participation rate that existed when Obama took office, today's official 4.9% rate would instead be an enormous 8.7%. Conversely, if today's low 62.9% participation rate had prevailed when Obama took office, January 2009's 7.6% unemployment rate would have been just half that - an incredibly low 3.8%.

Two significant facts emerge from putting Obama's seven years into context. First, although an additional nine million employed sounds impressive, it has not kept pace with the growth of America's potential labor force. Second and more dramatically, today's seemingly low unemployment rate is the product of today's low labor force participation rate - without its huge fall, today's unemployment rate would actually be far larger than when Obama took office!

Over an extended period, with a healthy economy and a growing population, employment growth essentially should be a given. The economy grows, the population grows, and employment grows. That is simply normal under most circumstances.

Yet over the last seven years, employment has not kept pace with the potential labor force's growth, but lagged well behind. That is abnormal.

[quiote]Small companies are great.  I've worked for them.  However, companies with less than 50 employees were not required to offer medical insurance to employees.  Is that something our society wants, people working full-time yet not getting group rates on insurance?
[/quote]

The real question in these corporate states of America is do you even want small business at all?

Penalize them with costs that do not grade out economically and they will fail and have.

http://www.blackenterprise.com/obama-failed-small-business-minority-business-owners/

Everyone knows that the small business community is the economic engine of our countryâ€"we create over 70% of all new jobs, not the Fortune 500 companies.Ã,  But yet, Obama rarely engages with the small business community and has never met with a group of Black businessmen since he has been in the White House.
You rarely hear the President talking about the minority business community.Ã,  Oops, I forgot, that would entail talking about Black businesses also and this president will do nothing to remotely make people think he is Black.

In fact a far more pernicious thing than mere failures happened to small business, it's called part time employment:

http://freebeacon.com/issues/another-obamacare-failure-1-23-billion-taxpayer-funds-sunk-in-failed-co-ops/

https://www.marketwatch.com/story/obamacare-has-led-to-rise-in-involuntary-part-time-employment-goldman-sachs-finds-2016-06-08

The Affordable Care Act’s employer mandate has at least modestly led to a rise in involuntary part-time employment, according to a Goldman Sachs study released Wednesday.

https://www.forbes.com/sites/dandiamond/2015/01/13/obamacares-impact-companies-cut-hours-for-part-time-workers/#7b567e7bc4c8

What Casselman does see happening is that companies appear to be cutting hours for part-time workers in order to evade the ACA's mandate that mid-sized and large employers must give health insurance to employees who work at least 30 hours.

That dynamic appears to be playing out in areas where workers are especially vulnerable to having their hours cut back â€" think of low-wage sectors like retail, restaurants, and education â€" and historically didn't get health insurance through their employers.

QuoteSmall companies don't always pay very well.  They, small businesses, can get a better deal on insurance for employees than the employees themselves could.

As you see, that did NOT happen, not at all.

https://townhall.com/columnists/justinhaskins/2016/02/01/survey-shows-small-businesses-suffering-under-obamacare-n2113097

According to an online survey produced by LevelFunded Health, a national health insurance agency “with a hyper-focus on Affordable Care Act ‘alternative’ employee benefit programs for the small employer market segment,” 87 percent of those small businesses who offer “group health care” saw health insurance premiums rise by 25 percent since 2014, with 12 percent seeing premium increases of 50 percent or higher.

Small businesses are at a significant disadvantage when competing against larger businesses because the latter can more easily absorb higher health insurance costs. This has led numerous small businesses to cancel their health insurance benefits completely, dumping an unknown number of employees into Obamacare exchanges. This is not only bad for the employees, it’s horrible for the businesses, who are now losing quality job applicants to large corporations that offer better benefits, according to the LevelFunded Health (LFH) poll.

The survey found 56 percent of the 2,500 small businesses polled say they are losing quality employee candidates because of the rising costs associated with employer-provided health care plans under Obamacare.

“Employers with fewer than 50 full-time workers are eligible to buy coverage on SHOP. The federal government even offers businesses an incentive, a tax credit worth up to half of an employer’s share of their workers’ premiums. Among the conditions: The firm must employ fewer than 25 workers and their average salary cannot exceed $50,000.”

According to the Kaiser Health News story, only 85,000 people from 11,000 small businesses had coverage through SHOP. This is significantly less than the 1 million people the Congressional Budget Office expected to be enrolled in SHOP by the end of 2015.

The failure of ACA, and SHOP specifically, to provide small businesses with cost-effective health insurance options for their employees is not only causing small businesses to lose quality employees or potential employees to larger companies, it’s forcing small businesses to choose between offering health insurance for employees or raising prices for their customers.


QuoteI understand some people like students and some spouses don't need employer coverage.  But offering it should be the default.

Only if you want to see part time employment and small business failures.

Rather by enabling insurers to offer and sell policies across state lines and inciting group policies by category or organization membership - AARP, AAA, even credit union membership far more viable choices would have been created than simply penalizing small business into submission.

But that was not what happened.

QuoteI'm not a Freedom Socialist; she was just an acquaintance.  But I liked her point.
I'm glad we agree on some things.

I'm not binary thinker, the few things Obama did of value he certainly deserves credit for, especially his expansion of national parks and monuments, run my opinion.

Others will decry that as a federalist land grab.

They aren't like that until they arrive and the America-haters get to them.  Telling them not to assimilate, telling them they've arrived in a terrible racist country, encouraging them to be ''offended'' when it comes to our customs and culture, etc.

The possible exception is Mexico.  Their government tells them our southern states were stolen from them, and they know before arriving they're not supposed to assimilate, fit in, etc, which is then enforced by racist groups like La Raza (The Race), Democrat politicians, and Spanish TV and radio.

And the insanity known as the "reconquista":

http://humanevents.com/2006/07/27/the-emreconquistaem-movement-mexicos-plan-for-the-american-southwest/


The Reconquista Movement Takes Hold

At its core, the claim of the Reconquista (“Reconquest”) movement is that the United States stole large sections of the southwestern United States from Mexico in the 1800s. Mexicans and other Hispanics making these claims seek to reconquer this territory by taking the land away from the United States and returning it to Mexico. The goal of the Reconquista is to “reconquer” these “lost” or “stolen” territories for “La Raza”â€"the race indigenous to Mexico.

How will the Reconquista be accomplished? Today, millions of Mexican illegal immigrants are pouring into the United States. None of these illegal aliens are checked in any way. They live in the United States while swearing their allegiance to Mexico. By their sheer presence and numbers, those in the Reconquista movement believe that a time will come when they can take political control of local communities where Hispanics are the majority. The ultimate dream of the Reconquista movement is that political control can be gained in one or more southwestern states. Reconquista activists plan that the states controlled by Mexican immigrants would secede from the United States and join Mexico, much as the southern states seceded during the American Civil War and formed the Confederacy.

568 pages is a lot to wade through... But the highlights are Comey fucked up doing what he did to Clinton, didn't fuck up not going public that certain members (Including the then manager Manafort) of the Trump campaign were being investigated for their links to foreign powers and their involvement in the election, and a couple of agents playing hide the sausage teased each other about how they'd change the election even though clearly the other several thousand FBI agents didn't get the memo.

What "agreed to quota" was established by the Canadians?

p.s. The "agreed to quota" for whole milk is assumed by the Canadian government to be imported directly by the consumer as they shop in the US in border towns and carry it back in their personal vehicle, so in practice all milk that is imported directly is subject to the higher tariff.

That is why virtually none is imported.  US dairies can’t depend on the orders so they don’t market and Canadian manufacturers won’t pay the 270% tariff because it is cost prohibitive.

Canadians are travelling to Cuba in surprising numbers to sexually exploit young people trapped in this socialist country’s underground sex tourism industry, a joint investigation by the Toronto Star and El Nuevo Herald, the Spanish-language sister publication of the Miami Herald, has found.

Havana’s conspicuous scenes of street-level prostitution are the public face of a hidden, sordid trade in children as young as four. Many prostituted children in Cuba are second- or third-generation, following in the footsteps of sex-worker mothers to earn money for families complicit in their exploitation.

https://www.heraldnet.com/news/cuba-new-hotbed-for-sex-with-minors/
-A confidential Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) report in 2011 showed Cuba was one of the main destinations in the Americas for Canadian sex predators, along with the Dominican Republic, Haiti, Brazil and Mexico. More than 1 million Canadian tourists visited Cuba last year.

-Cuba’s government “made no known efforts to reduce the demand for commercial sex,” noted the 2012 version of the U.S. State Department’s annual report on global Trafficking in Persons (TIP).

It's hard to over-emphasise how weird so many Americans are. They love an abstraction called America but hate at least half of its people, and don't care about its citizens anyway as long as they are OK. Profess to be against monarchy yet would lick the dogshit off Trump's winkle-pickers if he asked them to. Hate immigrants, even though the USA is the single biggest argument for the success of mass immigration. And think it's clever to make a 'your royal family is German' remark, just showing that they are more obsessed over heredity than we've ever been. All these ideals you think you hold are just given lip-service, you clearly don't believe them.
