I'm not your brother —
Yea well I know that but I meant it sarcastically.
You forgot to provide evidence of the average income in each — choosing to talk instead about availability of Internet service there instead.
You can pretend all you want that the fact of the differences in base costs of living and the lack of availability of network infrastructure that is Netflix-capable across the vast majority of the geographic area of the continental USA is as irrelevant to my initial statement and the relative economic status of Cuba vs places in the USA you can only get to after driving for hours down unpaved dirt/gravel roads, but I doubt most the rest of the readers of this now rather tiresome and pedantic thread (though I pity them) will miss your lame attempt at astro-turfing over the actual problem.
I have an Idea! How about you dig up the wikipedia page and do the math yourself for the adjustments for inflation and commodities costs and subtract stuff paid for implicitly by their socialized health care and food and housing systems? Also, maybe get a second opinion on that 20$ figure; Fox News isn't really known for their super accurate accounting of facts on numbers like this. I heard somewhere that the actual number for Cuban monthly household incomes is over 20 times what you cited.
