Ulises Toirac explains surge in currencies: "This got out of control fifteen quinquenniums ago."

Due to the instability in the informal foreign exchange market, the Cuban comedian Ulises Toirac, with his unique humor, expressed that the price chaos of foreign currencies began 65 years ago.

According to Toirac, "the act of crouching to gain momentum in acquiring foreign currency (and its subsequent rise) has unleashed a collective hysteria and a behavior in the sale of products worthy of admiration," he expressed on Facebook, alluding to the relationship between the black market and inflation in Cuba, which keeps the population on edge.

Demonstrating the humor that has won him so many admirers, Toirac explained the phenomenon in his own language: "That Borondongo gave it to Bernabé and... (the one selling lemons is expensive because his bricklayer overcharged him, because the bricklayer was overcharged by the barber, because the barber was overcharged by the cigarette seller, because the cigarette seller was overcharged by...) is nothing more than a reflection of a social consciousness that even detaches itself from the value at which we acquire currencies."

"And they won't stop. Neither the dollar nor Borondongo," said on the social network. "This got out of control fifteen quinquenios ago."

In this sense, the comedian expressed his deep concern for the dehumanization prevailing in Cuban society today, where the law of the jungle rules, or the one with more money.

"'Helping your neighbor' is the most violated commandment on this island, even though 'Do not commit adultery with another man's wife' is always at the top of the charts," he pointed out.

Finally, he considered that all over the world "currencies behave temporarily in this way, even when economic logic indicates otherwise, and it is due to many other factors including psychological ones."

Recently, the Cuban economist Emilio Morales stated in an interview with CiberCuba that it is "impossible" for the Cuban peso to have revalued on its own, gaining ground against the dollar, as has happened in recent days.

Furthermore, he pointed out the UCI (University of Computer Sciences) cyberclarias as the ones responsible for the buying and selling of foreign currency below the price set by the black market.

According to Emilio Morales, the only news that can revalue the peso is "if the Government falls" because there may be hope for a change in the system. Until that happens, the peso will continue to rise.
