What is life like in Cuba today?

Answer 1

For starters in Cuba everyone has health care.

Everybody enjoy socializing with each other.. dancing every Saturday night in street parties or parties at private homes.. The best music for dancing is salsa, and reggaeton. There is a high education standard, and there are not private schools.

People enjoy going to the beach, listening to music, and neighbours visit one another like if they were familly, there is a huge sense of sharing, and a great charisma.

Answer 2

it all depends if you have money.if you do you could live in a regular house.if you don't you can still live in a house but you wont have that much food,you have to go fishing or hunting.if you live near a beach you would have the best live in cuba.but the money in cuba does not represent alot.you could live very good.that's why people say they don't want to move to the usa or Europe,because they live good with alot of money.but if you have no money you be poor,but they don't care because they only care about their familly.anyway cuba is a very nice country.

On the positive side, everybody's basic needs are catered for. There is universal free medical care and education, almost zero unemployment, no homelessness. There is also ample public entertainment, in the form of cinema, live music in bars & clubs, theater, art exhibitions and much more- all of it at a cost that everyone can afford. And whilst there may be hunger and food shortages, nobody starves. Community organizations are very prominent in helping to support working people, organizing working groups to help improve their neighborhoods in all sorts of ways, running joint saving schemes, providing worker's education and training programs, and organizing relief at times of trouble such as natural disasters, etc.

On the down side, there is a lot of poverty. Wages are very low, and standards of living are often way below Western levels for many (but not all) people. Householders often have to queue for hours to get food, and whilst nobody is allowed to become seriously malnourished, people frequently don't get as much to eat as they need to keep hunger at bay. Basic raw ingredients such as rice, beans and oil can be had without difficulty, but fresh vegetables and fruit are only available intermittently, and often have to compensated for with vitamin supplements. Conditions are bad enough that people are willing to risk finding ways to come to the United States under very dangerous conditions.

And of course, Cuba is a repressive regime that allows little in the way of free speech, but situation is infinitely better than before Castro. Given the constant attempts by CIA to overthrow Castro and instill a puppet government, arresting CIA infiltrators is understandable, and is much more humane than torture treatment of "terrorists" that, with no proper justification, USA gives to people all over the globe. In fact, restrictions Cuba have eased a lot in recent years- the practice of religion is now officially supported (and it was never banned), and official censorship in the field of culture, the arts and literature has been relaxed considerably. But free speech is still kept a careful eye on- nobody is allowed to speak out against the government beyond a limited level, there is media censorship, and enthusiasm for things American is frowned upon, as imperialist Propaganda showed its ugly colors in Eastern Europe where (much worse than in Cuba) communist regime was replaced by cynical neo-imperialist oppression. Recently, some trade unions have been allowed, and actually work well with the government, but outright condemnation of the system over a long period of time can still land you in prison.
