Its off-key, because it obscures why doctors in the US make so much and cab drivers make relatively little.
Namely, because the US heavily limits access to medical education and technology, while heavily subsidizing access to private vehicles. In Cuba, it is the cars that are rare and the medical schools that are prolific. 6 Cubans in 1,000 are doctors, the highest margin in the world.
Its like bragging about how soda in the US is cheaper than water. American economists like to pretend this is an economy functioning at peak efficiency. Look at how much luxury we produce! No, don't ask why we spend so much time and resources bottling what comes out of a tap practically for free or how we produce so much cheap aluminum and corn syrup or even what the long-term health impacts of incredibly cheap syrup-drink on the population.
Just know that our cabs are cheap, as they should be! And our doctors are priced to be exclusively available to only the wealthiest residents, as they should be!
