MADISON, Wis. - Madison just celebrated its 25th anniversary as a sister city with Camaguey, Cuba. That's the country's third-largest city, located about 300 miles from Havana.

The sister city relationship includes cultural trips and humanitarian support. Each year, the Wisconsin Medical Project sends groups of volunteers who work with Cuban medical professionals and deliver supplies.

Former Alder Ricardo Gonzalez grew up in Camaguey, and was at the forefront of establishing the sister city relationship.

"Camaguey's got a lot of attitude. We all know Madison does also," Gonzalez said. He said the city is part of Cuba's dairyland, another reason it's a good fit.

1. Rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic, according to some.

I saw prediction 97,000+ of Cuba’ s demise here on DU a little while ago.

2. Its about time for another one of the Castroists "special period" of hardship

Venezuela can't pump out oil to keep Cuba's economy in the green. And with no sugar daddy on the horizon, looks like Diaz-Canel is going to be going hat in hand to ask for alms.

3. If you say so.

4. History says so.

5. No. You say so.

Last I checked "history" doesn't make predictions like astrologers or tarot card readers or palm readers.
That's why I say - "If you say so."

Have a good one.
