Embargo Designed to Block Cuba's Tourism!!

 So it doesn't overwhelm Florida's tourism?

    This week -- now into the third week of 2023 -- the New York Times, the USA's most famed newspaper, recommended that Cuba should be a top tourist destination this year. The photo that illustrated the article shows the Cuban beach at Cayo Coco.

    This map shows the location of Cayo Coco, Santa Clara, and Varadero. These three ultra-beautiful beaches on Cuba's northern coast are due southeast of Havana and just below Florida. While the New York Times this week spotlights Cayo Coco, the two beaches just northwest of Cayo Coco -- Santa Clara and Varadero -- have each been voted The Best Beach in the World by international tourist publications. In other words, Cuba has a plethora of beaches rated more beautiful than the beaches in Florida!!! The New York Times article this week reminds some people that one reason for the six-decades-old U. S. Embargo against Cuba is to PROTECT Florida's tourism against having tourist competition from nearby Cuba!!!

JUST ASKING?

    But for sure the U. S. EMBARGO of Cuba, which began in 1962, is still very much alive in January of 2023 and for the last six+ decades it has powerfully enriched Cubans in Florida while starving Cubans in Cuba. And for sure, promoting and protecting Florida tourism while blocking and starving Cuban tourism is a prime offshoot. Of course, with Florida having dictated the USA's Cuban policies and narratives since 1959, Americans are programmed to lavishly support tourism and dollars to Florida while cowardly supporting starvation in Cuba, which, of course, includes blocking Cuban tourism.

     And that is why Cubans in Cuba use the Spanish word "bloqueo" to describe the EMBARGO.

     And meanwhile, by all means, Americans are programmed not to be ashamed of the EMBARGO.
