  • You were right in the first half, but completely wrong in the second. Yeah, it’s possible to get rid of the embargo. As soon as the older Cubans pass away, it will be much easier electorally. People in the future will ask “why wasn’t it done earlier”; it’s because of single issue voters.

    Cuba represents an alternative viable economic system

    “Viable”? No. No one is afraid of the Cuban economy. Even the citizens of Venezuela have rejected Maduro, and they have a good view of the Cuban style economy.

    Gaza and Libya don’t have economic systems anywhere close to Cuba. They are not even aligned politically. “They might not like the US at some point in their history” is not a political alignment.




  • Plus, as soon as the cars can drive themselves people will stop needing Uber in many cases.

    No parking? Just tell your car to go park on a street 10 blocks away.

    Drunk? Car drives itself while you sleep.

    Going to the airport? Car drops you off and returns home. Car also picks you up when you are back.

    This is combined with the fact that people will do more disgusting things in an Uber without the driver there. If you have ever driven for Uber, you know that 10% of people are trying to eat or drink in the car. They are going to spill and it’s going to end up like the back of a bus.
