Who is really in charge in Cuba? It's complicated

[Joe Ragazzo @JRagazzo]

[Joe Ragazzo @JRagazzo]

The stock market is hitting all-time highs, yet compensation for workers is at an all time low. So what's going on?

@espiers @ddayen @MaxRivlinNadler thinks the most bone-headed of all the rules for journalism on the internet was that it should be free. When he & his co-founders started @hellgatenyc, they decided to do so as a reader-funded, worker-owned publication.
