I often see that from crackers, they complain that NK looks stuck in like the 70's and gee I bet that has something to do with the fucking embargo the country's been under since it's inception like you said.

And at the same time all the Boomers love the old cars in Cuba

The ones who even know that much about Cuba

In my experience, they usually do. Just shit like:

Shame Cuba is such a dictatorship, I'd love to go there to get some cigars and see those classic cars.

Still virtually no knowledge of Cuba and its history lol

My coworkers know I'm going to Cuba next month and one said it's a shame I'm bringing my GF and said they'd just sit back with mojitos, a cigar, and a prostitute.

Yeah what the fuck
