This is nothing new. Cuba's leadership realized the system was unsustainable shortly after the USSR collapsed and has been privatizing throughout the '90s and the last decade, especially in the tourism industry.

'Horrible excuse for a human being in general.' I guess the maker of the graphic had some empty space to fill.
'Laid wreath and made speech at SS cemetery.' An SS cemetery? How awful of him! Except that Kolmeshohe Cemetery is not at all an 'SS Cemetery'. Here's the real story.
Mr. Reagan, in his address, said: ''I have just come from the cemetery where German war dead lay at rest. No one could visit here without deep and conflicting emotions.''
He added: ''The evil world of Nazism turned all values upside down. Nevertheless, we can mourn the German war dead today as human beings, crushed by a vicious ideology.''
So your graphic not only completely fabricated the nature of the cemetery, but took a rather forward thinking and nuanced position by Reagan, that was both intellectually honest and politically brave, and spun it as something bad. If I didn't happen to know of that particular event, I would think 'Gee, what a horrible excuse for a human being!'
Tell me you posted that mess for shock value and that you don't really take all of it at face value.
