The sanctions as they stand essentially knee cap their one strong sector - tourism - and prevent the nurturing and aid of other sectors in Cuba.

Cubans economy is centralized and weak. So weak, as is pointed out, that its rations for the poor are now 100% import reliant.

The notion from dnc folks and established media is that Republicans will heal thyself. And, I have to say if that means going back to tea partiers, that's not a manageable political realm. In fact, in reading Ganz's recent book, it's been this way since the early 90s.

😅 I'm convinced this is a foundational interaction in marriages where one person (me in mine) is chronically online.

and this is not cynicism born of not getting interviews (I have) or jobs (I haven't) but rather that a position will be posted, up for 6 weeks. Taken down and then reposted with the exact same prompt 3-4 weeks later. One media outlet has done this for about a year now.

The only logical conclusion I can come to is these are positions posted with an internal hire in mind but they have to go thru the motions to field other candidates. Or they are "ghost jobs" - jobs posted to give overwhelmed employees hope the cavalry is coming, when in fact they will never hire.
