But have you considered that Americans have more money, the objectively most important measure of life?
and a bigger selection of shitty corn syrup food that’s all owned by the same company!
Cubans are deprived of industrial size mayonnaise
"Why yes but have you considered Iphone, Vuvuzela, 10 billions dead? "
There is a wide disparity between ethnic groups in the U.S. as well as gender. For example, an Asian woman is expected to live to 85.6, while for a Black man, the figure is 66.7 years.
Almost 20 fucking years! That’s beyond absurd, holy shit.
And the US lectures the world on human rights and admonishes countries for how they treat minority populations
Cubans only increased the life expectancy of its citizens to torture them more
Social murder
This is the most American solution for addressing retirement
This is an older article. In the meantime, China did overtake the US in life expectancy.
Also, IIRC, even if you compare it by wealth, the American 10% richest live less than other “developed” countries 10%. It’s like the whole country is cursed.
What can you expect from a country where a “billionaire” like Trump’s favourite mean is fucking McDonalds or “Steak”.

Lol, imagine losing in terms of quality of life to a nation that you’ve embargoed and done everything to make their lives miserable.
i mean, the AVERAGE cuban live longer, a black man lives even less in the US
Only 3? lol
It probably gets substantially worse if you exclude the top 10% wealth for each society.
Thanks capitalism. Real cool

This life expectancy in the US is buoyed by a scale of procedures that is mind-boggling. There are over 500k coronary artery bypass graft procedures each year (take an artery from your leg and graft it on your heart because your heart artery is failing). Just as many are on dialysis because their kidneys are failing. I am not trying to suggest that these people should not be helped with these life-saving treatments, I am merely underscoring the extreme lengths that the american medical system goes to compensate for a deadly western diet pattern at the root of these ailments.
I highly recommend shifting diet towards mostly whole or minimally-processed plant-based foods, along with consuming animal products and highly processed foods sparingly to age more gracefully.
What no McDonalds establishment in a country does to a mf
Actually, there is a McDonalds in Cuba.
Legally isn’t that area considered to be US soil, like an embassy?
It’s still part of Cuba, but it’s on lease for undetermined term (to end it, both side would havd to agree or USA would have to unilaterally and completely withdraw). About jurisdiction:
Article 3 – Cuba retains ultimate sovereignty, but during the occupation, the U.S. exercises sole jurisdiction over the areas described in Article 1. Under conditions to be agreed on, the U.S. has the right to acquire, by purchase or eminent domain, any land included therein.
Of course as it is immediately obvious, it was an extortion and is really an occupation. Problem lies in that evicting the base would require military action and it would be a war.
