Chapter 2: What insights does Jon Lee Anderson share about the current state of Cuba?
It could well be, again, if the cartels decide to use it as a transshipment point, it is the logical one. And in credit to him, even posthumously, it has to be said that, you know, Fidel Castro kept the cartels out, unlike all the other countries in the region.
Well, kind of. He did, actually.
For a time. No, he did. He did. But now you feel the kind of ebbing of control. Even six, seven years ago, Cuba, alongside Canada, jostled for number one and number two as the most secure countries in the entire Western Hemisphere. You know, Cuba might have people who were on the make, but there wasn't a lot of violent crime and there was not a street drug problem. Now there is.
There is more need, therefore, like everywhere, there's more violent crime. It's difficult to know how much there is because of course that isn't reported in the same way it is elsewhere. But the illusion that Cuba was somehow exceptional, here I am beginning to feel a certain parallelism with the United States.
The idea that Cuba for 60 years in the minds of the believers in the revolution was an exceptional place. has ebbed almost completely. And therefore, the end of the Cuban revolutionary dream is colliding against what I see as the end of the American dream.
Let's talk about that parallelization because you, of course, deal with this irony that now more than ever, recent years, there hasn't been an exodus from the island. People are desperate. They're politically desperate. They're economically desperate.
I've never quite known the difference between the two, even though American foreign policy has treated immigrants differently based on being economic refugees versus political refugees. Again, I think that was more a product of a racial racist double standard in our policy of Cubans versus Haitians. That said, you describe very vividly the early Cubans being whiter.
being wealthier compared to the way they are now and compared to what we see as a double standard as well amongst Cubans who have been in the United States and enjoyed our freedom and enjoyed our hospitality and our social welfare programs, if you will, and now are not and paid taxes and not necessarily welcoming to this new generation of Cubans who are just as, if not more desperate as they were
Generations ago, and you ask the question in your headline, have Cubans fled one authoritarian state for another? Talk to me about what you witnessed, because you were not only dispatched to Cuba, to hell, but also to purgatory in Miami as well.

Chapter 3: How has the recent exodus of Cubans impacted Miami's community?
Then suddenly his eyes brightened up like he was just struck by a sweet, warm breeze off the coast of Baradero. And he grinned slyly. But we won Miami. And I was like, well, great line. And it's true. It's true. Yeah. John Lee Anderson, please read this story at New Yorker dot com.
It's absolutely fascinating and a great piece of what people might consider kind of old school shoe leather journalism. I mean, these dispatches to just a very vivid and frightening Cuba and a very. Very disturbing Miami as well. I appreciate you so much for being here. Thanks Billy. I enjoyed it.

Always drink your JƤgermeister ice cold. That's the rule. Everything else is merely a suggestion. Everything else? Everything else. Wearing clean underwear every day? Well, that's just a personal decision.
Brushing your teeth? Obviously smart, but not a rule. Never pee-pee on an electric fence.
Okay, maybe there are two rules, but the one that is 100% that I insist on completely, Jagermeister must be drank ice cold.
