    Because all they’ll do it cut the bag, then have everyone walk to wherever with a bowl and get a scoop every day. They won’t just be giving homes 50kg bags and saying “good luck”, like you said that’s a lot of logistics. Also it’s about control, if you need to get it every day it can be revoked if you aren’t aligned with the government. If they just drop off a 50kg bag, well now you’ve got a food supply stockpiled and you’re more likely to protest/rebel.

      Kinda wild how you’re hypothesizing about the Cuban government rationing food based on ideology when the US is literally doing exactly that with the explicit goal of creating as much misery as possible.

      Relevant detail: in the last 50 years the US has murdered 38 million people through the use of economic sanctions on its ideological enemies.
