Cuba blames Trump for food rationing
Of
course they blame Trump, and the US. Who thought they would blame anyone else?
Cuba has blamed the US for all its problems since Fidel Castro became dictator
in 1959.
"HAVANA (AP) — The Cuban government announced Friday that it is
launching widespread rationing of chicken, eggs, rice, beans, soap and other
basic products in the face of a grave economic crisis.
"Commerce Minister
Betsy Díaz Velázquez told the state-run Cuban News Agency that various forms of
rationing would be employed in order to deal with shortages of staple foods.
She blamed the hardening of the U.S. trade embargo by the Trump
administration."
But
wait! There’s more!
"Economists give equal or greater blame to
a plunge in aid from Venezuela, where the collapse of the state-run oil company
has led to a nearly two-thirds cut in shipments of subsidized fuel that Cuba used
for power and to earn hard currency on the open market."
Cuban cooks shouldn’t worry, though.
Government spokeswomen Velazquez says “cooking oil will be in ample supply.”
Sooo, there will be plenty of oil to cook the food Cubans can no longer buy.
Ain’t Socialism great?

Hard times for some at Louisville University
The
college is closing its employee gym, a move that will save $1 million a year.
But, the university’s president is getting a 12% pay raise, to $875,000 a year. Trustees said the president had improved the university finances.
“Citing
budget constraints, the University of Louisville will close Humana Gym, its
employee fitness center, to save $1 million a year, the university said in a
campus-wide message on Thursday.
“The
university also laid off Patricia Benson, the director of its Get Healthy Now
employee wellness program, and moved the program’s other employees to the Human
Resources department, U of L spokesman John Karman confirmed. The wellness
program continues, Karman said.
“The
university said in the unsigned message that faculty and staff can get
discounted memberships of $15 per month at Planet Fitness, an athletics program
sponsor, or join the Student Recreation Center for $24 a month. The Humana Gym
costs $15 a month, according to the message.
“The
move was announced on the same day the university’s board of trustees raised
the compensation of U of L President Neeli Bendapudi by 12 percent to $875,000
a year. As part of the justification for the raise, trustees cited improvement
in U of L’s finances relative to when Bendapudi started a year ago.”

Man stripped of women’s lift records
‘100% Raw Powerlifting
Federation’ president Paul Bossi issued the following statement:
“It was revealed that this female
lifter was actually a male in the process of becoming a transgender.”

Waiting for the tantrums when
men can’t compete in women’s Olympics events. Will corporate sponsorships be
hammered for being anti-trans? Boycotts, demonstrations to follow?
Dumb times await.
