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
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.
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.
But have you considered that Americans have more money, the objectively most important measure of life?
Lol, imagine losing in terms of quality of life to a nation that you’ve embargoed and done everything to make their lives miserable.
That’s only because the namby pamby definition of “quality of life” doesn’t include key metrics like the ability to own automatic weapons and drive needlessly massive trucks.
Cuba better start a refugee program, plenty of Unitedstadians want it out already.

Only 3? lol
It probably gets substantially worse if you exclude the top 10% wealth for each society.
that was my first thought too
