    Good Morning, EoFF!

    Inspired by SS's banning, what is the colour of the uniform of your work/school place? We all have had to wear school uniform or work uniform at some point in our lives, and what is yours?
    Also, we could discuss possible improvements in the uniform, or better uniform entirely.
    Or we could discuss the Cuban Revolution.
    All of this is your choice, my humble reader, and I leave it up to you what path you may take.

    We had to wear uniforms during my senior year. White shirt and khaki pants. At work, we're just supposed to dress professionally. I usually wear a longsleeve oxford, khaki pants, and a tie. :o

    I often try to go to school NEKKID, but they always send me home to get dressed

    They Cubans had a whole war over my NEKKID body though. Not literally, of course. Well, some of them....ahem...anyhoo! *walks away*

    At work I have to wear a dark navy shirt, it's better than most things they have to offer. Atleast it isn't white, or the stains would be impossible to get out. I cook by the way, so it would get a bit messy. I've never had to wear a school uniform though, I'm pretty sure my school will have one someday since they've always been nazis about dress code.

    Although the Cuban Revolution was politically successful in overthrowing the Batista government, over the years the world has witnessed its social and to a greater extent, its economic failures. Despite socialist reforms that provide universal health care and education to everyone, it has also come with a price. Freedom of speech is very limited since the revolution is seen as a a good thing. Those who criticize the revolution can be thrown in jail or worse. This wouldn't be a big problem if rhetoric of the revolution didn't inhabit all facets of society, but since the opposite is true, freedom of speech is extremely limited.

    The economic failures of the revolution are really the factors that have stained the legitimacy of socialism as a viable system of state. Cuba has always been dependent on foreign trade and although this can be said of any country, this is particularly the case with Cuba. Cuba's main export is sugar. While raw material is beneficial for any growing economy, production is a necessity. Cuba doesn't really produce anything for the outside world. Heavy-industry is non-existent, and light textile work is for internal consumption only. Early on because of the U.S. embargo, Cuba was forced to economically (and militarily) ally itself with the Soviet Union. In a sense it became an economic satellite to the super power. There was more or less stability in Cuba up until the collapse of the Soviet block and consequently the Russian state in 1991. While Russia and its former satellites were dealing with a political and economic backlash of their own, Cuba entered a rationing period it is still in today, albeit not to the same degree as it was in the early 1990's. In this sense, the socialism Cuba established during the revolution is seen to have been successful in theory -- influencing similar movements in Latin America and South Africa -- but a failure in the practical sense.


    I don't wear a uniform to school or work.

    I never had to wear a uniform for school, and the dress code is not at all strictly enforced as seen by all the gross girls who wear tiny skirts and huge boots and shirts that don't cover them up. Which is gross as is, but they're pretty flabby. Though I shouldn't even comment on people being flabby. xD

    Navy blue jumper with a gold emblem, white t-shirts and grey trousers/skirt. Thank God I'm in Sixth Form; I get to wear my own clothes.

    I have no uniform at my school and even if you did wear really short skirts or something like that to school most people don't get caught.
