7. I Still Smell Sour Grapes

I still catch a whiff of sour grapes here. Cuba could and did welcome American-owned cruise ships when trade and travel restrictions were relaxed while Obama was President. When Individual One became President in 2017, the restrictions went back in place and were tightened a little further, and American-owned cruise ships (and ships owned by outfits based in other countries) stopped sailing to Cuban destinations.

I’m not at all sure that Cuba would be so down on cruise ships had a raging pandemic of sanity and clarity ran through American red states as virulently in 2016 as the so-called “Spanish Flu” pandemic swept across Europe and America nearly a century before and Donald what’s-his-name remained a has-been celebrity TV host.
