The Castro's and their cronies will continue to siphon off any hard currency that comes into their nation while the poor people will continue to live under grinding poverty. Potemkin villages will be erected for the tourists who will unwittingly buy into the party line.

Cuba says won't move 'one millimeter' to placate enemies in U.S.
Cuba's lead negotiator in talks with Washington told Reuters on Friday that the island's internal affairs would never be on the table and Havana would never move "one millimeter" to placate enemies in the United States.
"Decisions on internal matters are not negotiable and will never be put on the negotiating agenda in conversations with the United States," Josefina Vidal, director of U.S. affairs for the Cuban Foreign Ministry, said in an exclusive interview.
"Cuba will never do absolutely anything, not move one millimeter, to try to respond," she said after U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said in Havana that the U.S. Congress was unlikely to ever lift a punishing economic embargo on Cuba unless the Communist government improved its human rights record.
But they will still be more than happy to take our dollars. Life in Cuba is horrible if you are not one of the elite. We need to be addressing this and not foolishly believing that the Castro's will come around to our way of thinking.
