Expanding Cuba’s slave trade
Looking for new customers to expand the Cuban dictatorship’s lucrative slave trade, the totalitarian regime has offered the Philippines the use of their medical personnel as chattel in exchange for whatever the Philippines can give them. According to the regime’s ambassador in Manila, Cuba has plenty of slaves in the medical field to spare.
“We have lots of doctors and medical practitioners. We have offered [them] to the Philippines, but your government has yet to make its move,” [Cuban Ambassador] Jimenez said.
According to this article, it appears that the Philippines is experiencing a shortage of medical personnel due to the many doctors that have left the country seeking better pay in other countries. But at what cost does a country remedy this problem? By engaging in the rental of slave labor from a totalitarian dictatorship that does not take care of its own people?
I have to ask—at what point did Cubans become less human than the rest of the world?

It's disgusting. I am furious that the rest of the world thinks it's ok to trade Cuban human beings like cattle. And this new form of slave trading has got be illegal.
