    The article is the classic example of concern-trolling.

    Instead of showing statistics or actual data, it talks about this “economic crisis” of Cuba, it interviews a particular person to make people feel pity, shows a few pictures of people selling produce on the streets (normal in Cuba since the 1990s’ periodo especial)… The writers don’t know about Cuba, and don’t care about Cubans. It’s just a wannabe hit-piece to create concerns in the West about the conditions of Cubans. That’s why I’m dismissing it. The claim “there’s hunger in Cuba” requires statistical evidence supporting it.
