I can tell this guy isn't cuban because it's possible to actually understand him

It's rather common in the third-world for horses to be used instead of ICE engines. First time I've seen one being used as a taxi (supposing it isn't a touristy thing).
I laughed when I saw the news of a French city that went back to using horses. Everyone thinks they're quaint until they piss and shit or their handlers leave them to do whatever they want (probably won't happen in France desu).

>Everyone thinks they're quaint until they piss and shit
yeah i remember being shocked at how much a horse can shit in one go in some military march here in the Kingdom of Spain

Seeing a horse pissing is incredible, it's like someone turned a very smelly faucet, right on the sidewalk. EVs and even ICE are cleaner by comparision. There's always a sense of dirtness wherever a horses passes by, be it it's waste or the large flies that follow them.
But I suppose they're better taken care of in the first world than the grass and sometimes garbage fed horses from where I live.

(I)nternal (C)ombustion (E)engine. Usually refers to cars and truck engines.

>>2054747
never heard an abbreviation for combustion engines like that, i was confused with the inmigration control thing in USA
>Brazil
you must love motorbikes, i just bought my first motorbike from a brazilian family who moved to Spain! and they're much richer than me

>>2054748
I'm more into cars than motorbikes myself (and /n/ approved streetcars/trams and trolleybusees) but you're not wrong to assume that; motorbikes are a very common alternative to the poor public transit in Brazil.

>would you take a cuban taxi?
No, because I refuse to support the communist government in any form.

¡Viva Cuba líbre!

>>2054767
i dont think you support the communist government by taking a taxi, do they even pay taxes?

>>2054768
All tourism, rum, and tobacco purchases support the communist government. I will not fund it in any form.

the USSR collapsed 40 years ago but boomers are still mindbroken about gommunism

one angry african owns more of america's wealth than 52% of the population combined and a handful of deranged hyperrich tech bros think physical humans are superflous and have a legitimate and achievable plan to eradicate us within a generation, but the REAL danger to our freedom is that some tropico brown people off the coast of florida still have a faded che guevara painting on their crumbling buildings

80% of the cuba industry is owned by the govt and if your company has 100 workers or more its seized by the state
at that point i dont think its very different to the way property worked in the USSR afaik

>>2054784
A country where people routinely use horses because there's not enough fuel for their 75 year old cars has you pissing yourself in a state of existential terror. Maybe gommunism is more powerful than I'm giving it credit for.

>>2054790
I dont really mind cuba i just find it sad, but hey nothing stops you from projecting to justify your political schizophrenia, have a good day

>>2054780
My wife and in-laws are from Cuba. Commies are still doing commie shit there and I shan't support it.

I rode these as a kid. Every weekend the streets were closed for Shabbat and we rode the horse wagon, only for kids.

>>2056975
