Ted Rall for April 01, 2016

The window to do Commie tourism is closing fast! Hurry!but if you hurry it will close even faster. Then it will just be poverty tourism like everywhere else)

Boy, no good deed goes unpunished in Rall World.

Very un-educated cartoon today. Tourists spend money in Cuba which creates capital to purchase goods. This money for the people did not exist prior to tourism. Canadians and South Americans (among others) have been doing this for decades. Only now that the USA is starting to send tourists to the island does Rall have an issue.

It seems the more beautiful an island is, once Westerners discover it the harder the original natives have it. I guess you can’t put Beauty in the bank unless you’re one of those who greedily exploit it.

The only things I could find about this were concerns that tourism might make things more difficult. From an IBTimes article last year, “Cuba’s food shortages date to the 1950s and could impede its attempt to attract American tourists.”However, if Cuba doesn’t import enough food to feed at least the tourists, this toon could be spot on. And importing food could result in big price increases for all food in Cuba.

^comicsssfan: At university, they took the lab budget from the physics and chemistry departments to buy new uniforms for the football team, the old ones were only a year old. It isn’t about “public schools”, so much as it is about American’s priorities of sports over real education in science or any other topic of actual importance. (It explains “denier syndrome” perfectly.)
