The Worker's Paradise

Tough times in Cuba. An interesting article but the author's naievete shows through with the absence of any mention of the black market. I guarantee a lot of connected Cubans are still getting their groceries.
Note this line:
Vendor Nadia Gomez, who received nothing that day, said police checkpoints leading into Havana now turn away trucks unauthorized to market produce in the capital or have been ordered send their goods to harder-hit areas.
So, the command economy at its most simplistic. Just turn that truck around and send it away from the market and it will get to the right places. Yup, it's that simple.
Problem solved by good old communist ingenuity.
