De eso nada, monada…
Cuba’s sugar harvest to be the worst in the island’s history. Why? I’ll let Luis M. Garcia answer as only he can:
Mismanagement? Non-existent transport infrastructure? Low wages and poor working conditions that inevitably lead to poor productivity? An economic model that quite plainly does not work? The fact that no one is allowed to point out these faults in public for fear of being branded a “mercenary” and sent to jail for 25 years?
None of the above.
According to Granma, the poor results are all due to rain. Too much rain. Truly.
Rain?!?!?!?!?!?! Damn, lets import some of that rain water into Lake Okachobee! Ha ha ha ha!
But of course. The system is never at fault. And the climate problem is bound to be related to global warming, which is obviously the fault of the “empire” and its lackey countries. However, plans are underway to develop a magic cow that produces concentrated liquid sugar, which will do away with the need to bother with sugarcane harvesting. News at eleven. Or sometime thereafter.
That really is just hilarious.
Asombra,
Yes, that cow was developed from genes stored from “Urbre Blanca”.
That was hilarious.
Too much rain???? In order to tell a good lie, one must believe it. Ni ellos mismos se lo creen.
The revolution, in its infinite wisdom, genetically modified sugar cane to be drought resistance (modern science at its best) . Unfortunately it rained, too much, on a tropical island.
Last I heard they had a drought problem. Oh yeah a sunshine drought, yeah yeah thats the ticket.
