The recent thread discussing how the end of the embargo would effect cigar prices, supply and quality got me thinking. I noticed that whilst the topic title was just general in nature, the topic went in part to some people suggesting that they would not welcome the embargo end. The comments generally made reference to how some don't want their cigar supply, prices and quality to change for the worse.
Hypothetically speaking:
If there was a global ballot, where you were entitled a vote - If it could GUARANTEED that the end of the embargo would liberate the Cuban population, allowing them freedoms and wealth not seen since the 1960's.... but as a by product also GUARANTEED an increase in cigar prices, diminished supply and degraded quality - what would your vote be?
As a kicker to the scenario - the vote and result is immediate. You would not have the opportunity to 'stock up'.
Mine is not even a decision that needs consideration.... I'd support the end of the embargo in a heartbeat.
Does Hedonism trump Moralism?
