2. Tremendous! These guys are making out like bandits, aren't they? Jeez.

Absolutely bookmarking your thread. Recommending.

Very gratifying, and consistent with what we've read and heard already. Great to see it in print. Wonderful.

That kind of money would last so LONG in an economy like Cuba's. I'm sure, like all other Cubans, the "dissidents" pay little or nothing for their housing, etc. so that's a hell of a lot of discretionary income.
