But this is what it is
This mipime is surely from some government front man.
What Cuban worker can pay 50 or 150 pesos to go to work and then pay another fare to return? Are they making fun of the Cuban people?
How much will the state take from the price of the trip?
When I say so.
These people claim they're solving the problem, whatever's happening, and they don't have the solution. No matter what.
I wonder.
Who will be able to travel at these prices on a daily basis, for example to go to work?
What these people do is degrading.
There is no arrangement.
There is no need to invent anymore.
And who is the fat guy behind that SME?
