Cuba's lucrative slave trade

Propaganda alert:

Cuba says exports of services top $9 billion. Not much in the way of detail is provided, but among other ventures, they cite tourism, and the export of medical and other technical services. According to the regime, there are 40,000 Cubans "working" in Venezuela.

Nice of Reuters to provide cover for what is a very nasty business. The use of the word "working" manipulates the unthinking into assuming a normal employer/employee relationship, which as such does not exist in Cuba.

The regime collects the pay, so let us call it what it is--slavery.

The article is here.
