I agree with you in that there is no reason to punish the Cuban people at this point and the embargo seems to only be doing that, as well as endangering people's lives in their migratory quest for a better quality of life.
" I have no clue how the average American is getting by"-- we're not doing great. Since the onset of my Long COVID, my quality of life has really tanked in every way. The worst thing was the way I was treated at 3 major Las Vegas hospitals when I went to their ERs in 2022. I was called a 'pseudo', physically abused by a nurse, and left with extensive medical bills I am unable to pay due to my ongoing inability to work. I am now medically traumatized and am afraid to seek out any sort of medical care whatsoever.
Hi Jonathan: I hope you do not settle in Dubai, even though they have remarkable perks for corporations, as their human rights record is abysmal: https://www.hrw.org/world-report/2022/country-chapters/united-arab-emirates

Finally, I commend you for practicing austerity and delaying gratification in material goods for future value. This quality is highly correlated with emotional and general intelligence: https://www.psychologicalscience.org/news/releases/why-delaying-gratification-is-smart-a-neural-link-between-intelligence-and-self-control.html
