~Texas Pete~ ,

Eye opening content

As someone who visited Cuba months before Jay-Z paid a visit I knew a few things about Cuba. After listening to the episode about the guy who wind-surfed to Florida just to get away confirmed a lot of what I saw in Cuba and caused me to realize far more than I thought I knew about Cuba and Fidel Castro.

There’s lessons to learn here about why having the government take care of everything isn’t a good idea. It’s in fact a terrible idea!
