Yeah. Iowahawk and his friends drive cars from the 1950s out of choice, and they can find parts with which to restore and repair them. There’s a freakin’ difference between that and seeing the current incarnation of Cuba as something charming and quaint—as long as you don’t have to live under the conditions its non-elite residents endure. Sean Medlock spanks Playboy magazine for its asinine romanticism:
What is it about Cuba that turns otherwise sane people into drooling statists? Yeah, keep talking about their top-notch medical system. That’s why 26 patients in a Cuban mental hospital recently died during a cold snap. It got all the way down to 38. Couldn’t the hospital staff have given them, I dunno, blankets or something? Oh, sorry, that must’ve been the authenticity. Pardon my arrogant capitalist pigheadedness.
