Cuba
Raul Castro: Economic Changes Must be Gradual
Cuba has decentralized state-owned enterprises, legalized home and used car sales and let hundreds of thousands of people open or work for small businesses in the private sector.
Detroit
Located near two great lakes and the Detroit River, Detroit has access to the largest fresh water supply in the nation. But thousands of the city’s poorest residents no longer have water for drinking, bathing, cooking, or flushing the toilet, since the city’s unelected emergency manager began seeking to reduce the Water and Sewerage Department’s debt, cutting off residents who don’t keep current on their payments.
Meanwhile, General Motors and the city’s two sports arenas, which owe millions in unpaid water bills, have not had their water turned off.
DYI Comments: Cuba is slowly moving in the right direction though certainly not fast enough to improve their citizens standard of living. At the same time Detroit continues to struggle with gross unfairness and amazing incompetency that has been going on for decades. Hopefully Detroit will turn the corner such as Cuba. Comparing Cuba and Detroit who would have ever thought possible?
