And his comment on whether or not things will improve:
Nothing will change. We are literally a nation of slaves. We have been so isolated from everything for so long we don't know any better than to either survive in Cuba or find a way to escape.
The few selected ones that could do something are either in jail or harassed by the same people that would love to see things change but are so afraid they act as if they are with the system.
We are our own worst enemy.

Ironically the effect of the US embargo has been to close Cuba off from outside influence and enable Castro to control the country, Cuba would have probably overthrown communism in the seventies if the US had not embargoed the country.
