Here.
As you can see in this
huge bundle of money, I have 16,000 Cuban pesos. How is the change today It would be four times my engineering salary and six times the average salary of a person here in Cuba Oh my God, you are great. He even wanted to cry. Oh, but I didn't cry. If my life. I give thanks to God. Are you recording? Of course I have not done anything wrong. You are going to tell me what you are going to tell me. The police command post sends me to identify you! Hello family, I hope you are very well. Cuba is one of the countries with the lowest salary in the world. Here the average salary of a monthly worker is around 2,500 Cuban pesos ($15usd), which at the current exchange rate on the street would be $15usd. Seems crazy right? $15usd per month. And it is sure that many of you do in an hour or in a day what a Cuban would do in a whole month here in Cuba and before your head explodes at the question of how it is possible for a Cuban to survive here in Cuba with $15usd You have to see this video and above all leave me in the comments. What is the minimum wage in your country and if it is enough , thank you very much. Have a nice day. And well, the answer is short before their heads explode. It is impossible for a Cuban to survive the entire month with only $15. And it is that they are not going to think that because the salary of a Cuban is low, things are cheap. Not! Inflation is eating us alive and the salary is enough for less every day. Well, here as you can see in this huge bundle of money, I have 16,000 Cuban pesos , which at the current exchange rate ($1usd = 160cup) would be four times my engineering salary and six times the average salary of a person here in Cuba. Now we are outside the market that is in front of the railway. In Cuba there is a lot of scarcity and there is not much variety of products, so we are going to see what we can find and how we can get enough of the money that I already showed you. But best of all, the things I'm going to be buying today aren't going to be for me. No, no, no, no, no, we are going to look for people who are in need and have a shortage of money. That they have a lack of money to make a purchase of the things that they are selling there and brighten their day that I know we are going to do. So if you want to know how much $100usd reaches here in Cuba and the reaction of the people in that market, stay until the end of the video and let's get started! She wants 10lbs of rice, she told me . She didn't want beans? Take what you need No, no, now, now. 1300 Cuban pesos Oh mamacita! You work? Not because I am already 70 years old, I am already old, full of ailments. And the state pays you a checkbook?

So
how about the things I can buy? It came in handy because that's how I give things to my child because the salary they give you doesn't match what you have to buy. Now look at my salary, that I earned 2,810 Cuban pesos a month. When I came here , everything ran out and so if I bought rice, I bought cabbage, I bought beans, I couldn't buy meat because meat was also too expensive and now it's even more expensive.

Likewise , we must thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you to all of you who were part of today and who can enjoy this. It's not that it's a super amount for me it was enough. for me too and for me it's enough and the next time I come there should be meat We have to start with meat, which is the most important thing, it's the main dish that continues to help others , not just us, just those in need. to the neighbor a lot for him, for you, for him, for the companions who gave No yes, it was thanks to them Thank you for helping Don't cry Do you need to buy something?

I live alone Do you live alone? help is always welcome. I thank God because he has put you on the path. I thank him because he says that even stones would talk and then he sends angels. I thank God, but don't cry, it makes me cry too, don't cry and it makes me cry too, because that's why I know he exists. But look, you already have little things there . Thank you, thank you, I am infinitely grateful, really. I didn't take off my glasses because I feel sorry for myself. I was already selling a pair of my granddaughter 's shoes for that very reason, to buy something . Are you filming? Of course, you are telling me and I am not doing anything wrong, you are going to tell me what you are going to tell me about the police command post. They send me to identify you, why? Give me your documents. No, I do not bring my identity card, I can tell you, but I do not have my identity card, nor do I consider that I am doing something wrong for you to have arrested me, are you Cuban nationals? I am Cuban, I am from Santiago, but I ask why I have to give you the document? I am a police officer, I go up to see, you have every right, you have every right and tell me you don't have a document and Papa, give him your meat, and can you give me your name? Of course, my name is Hilda María, Orita I told you that I wasn't worried about that but hey, they approached my people, citizens, look there they are but then those citizens are either envious or bad people, because I'm not here . doing nothing negative, I am simply helping people in need who do not have the possibility of being able to buy or who do not give them their salary to be able to buy those things. It's all I'm doing. My intention is to help Where is that money from? That is from me, from my money and from my authority . Another retired person from the FAR was called to the command post to come and verify , I told him to talk to the girl. She told me that she is not against any of this, that she is helping her colleagues with their money. They tell me verify if they are from a Church, and I tell them that I am going to verify
. I am not from any church, that is not a bad thing. With money you do exactly what you want, as long as you don't speak ill of the revolution. We are bad, it is true that there is a need for that very need we decided to help those people that there are some who do it, and others who do not and others who see the need that people have there was an elderly person telling one of the units Look at the authorities , people came there giving things away, they are Americans. Well, as an American I don't know what they see me because starting... rice, cabbage, tomato, beans they went to tell him there they were the ones who told me go there and check so God is great and God knows what he does and why he does it I'm going... finished recording, that is, I'll give you the conclusions in another place because the police have already stopped me twice , here I have one behind... look at a patrol car so I'll explain everything in detail in another place. Well,
as you saw, I was stopped by the police twice. The first time I didn't record it because, well, I said okay, it stopped me. He asked me why I was doing that, if I was badmouthing the revolution. I go back and repeat, I do not speak ill of Cuba, I only show the reality of what my eyes see. He told me that a person from there had gone to where they were to tell them that I was giving away food, that if I was an American , there really are people that I really can't because of seeing that I am giving away to people. They need some food and they see it as something bad, that really does not fit in my head, that there are such bad people. But hey, my conscience is really clear, those are other people's problems and the truth is that the second time the police called me I did record it because it already seemed absurd to me that it had not been once, but another time that they arrested me, they asked me the data and everything. And well, nothing, those are secondary things that no, they did not mark my day, because thanks to Stephan and Eva , these subscribers, these wonderful subscribers from Germany, made this day possible to help people in need in supermarkets, in the markets here in Cuba. They asked me to go to the Cuban markets, buy food for the people that I saw in need, to see the joy of the people, to see the great happiness they felt, to cry for the truth. That is enormous happiness. Today I am truly super happy, happy as a worm that thanks to you two this day has been perfect, perfect, perfect, perfect. So I hope you liked this video.
