While some young Cubans are dying for Russia in the trenches of Ukraine, others are busy clearing snow far from the war front. And they’re getting paid what they consider a very good salary. Naturally, they are also sending a good chunk of their measly earnings to their parasitic families back in Castrogonia. Ultimately, whether Cubans end up in Miami or Moscow doesn’t change the rules of the diaspora game: Your earnings abroad must support your relatives who are slaves of Castro, Inc.
These workers claim that they freely chose to work in Moscow and that Castro, Inc. doesn’t claim any of their earnings. But this kind of labor arrangement seems a bit odd. Chances are Castro, Inc. must be behind it and that it is cashing in on it, somehow.
