The cruelty of the Fanjul family's sugar plantations was like one of the main reasons the Cuban people rose up and drove those assholes out of the country. Not the only reason, but a big one. Shame he didn't die sooner because after the revolution he spent 67 years mooching off the US treasury.

Alfonso Fanjul Jr., who helped build one of the world’s largest sugar empires after fleeing Fidel Castro’s communist takeover of Cuba, has died. He was 89.

sorry folks but one of the many awful, terrible things about politics is that you do sometimes have to reward politicians, even those you don’t like much, with high-value liver treats for actually doing what you want them to do
