Mitt Romney to HBS graduates yesterday: "Helping building a nation's economy is public service. But there's more to a country than its economy. ... There is no national success that could compensate for failure to be a good and noble people." https://t.co/WfgkJITPe7
🚨 NOW: Sec. Marco Rubio just broke out into full SPANISH MODE, ripping the Communist Cuban regime and sending a message DIRECTLY to the people
DOWN WITH COMMUNISM 🇺🇸🇨🇺
"The reason you are FORCED to survive without electricity is NOT an oil blockade by America...no electricity, fuel or food is because the people who control it have PLUNDERED billions of dollars, but NOTHING has been used to help the people!"
"30 years ago, Raúl Castro founded a company called GAESA. This company is owned by the Armed Forces and operated by them, and has income three times higher than the current budget of his government!"
"Today, while you are suffering, these entrepreneurs have $18 billion in assets and control 70% of Cuba's economy."
"They obtain profits from hotels, constructions, banks, stores, and even the money that their relatives send them from the United States."
"Everything, everything goes through their hands. From those remittances, they retain a percentage, but nothing comes to you from the profits of GAESA."
"Instead of using the money to buy oil, like all other countries in the world, they depended on Hugo Chavez and Maduro's free oil to keep the money. But now that they no longer receive free oil, they buy fuel for their generators and their vehicles, while the people are asked to sacrifice themselves."
"If owning your own business and having the right to vote is possible around Cuba, why is it not possible for you inside Cuba? In the United States, we are ready to open a new chapter in the relationship between our people and our countries!"
"And right now, the only thing that gets in the way of a better future is those who control their country."
@QueenAnticommie On my mission in NYC (Spanish speaking), we would, on average, get invited into an apartment to discuss gospel topics once for every hour we knocked doors. Loved my mission service!
That is the concern here to me. There's a legitimate discussion to be had about the value of a high-profile Friday night game v leaving it on Saturday and how much influence the Big 12 does/should have on that.
But the Tech/B12 relationship getting more adversarial is an issue
