The Cuban comedian Javier Berridy sparked conversation on social media once again with one of his classic reflections, this time aimed at those who cannot stop complaining about life in Miami.
“Right now in the barbershop, I met a guy who wouldn't stop complaining about Miami—about the traffic, the rent, the people, saying there’s no room for anyone else here...”, the comedian recounted.
Berridy, known for his straightforward and unpretentious style, referred to the discourse of many residents who criticize the traffic, the high prices, the city's growth, or simply the lifestyle in the capital of the Cuban exile.
"People constantly complain about Miami. I know that Miami is tough right now, but don’t complain about Miami if you can go somewhere else. There are more options," he commented in one of his videos.
The comedian acknowledged that the city is "on fire" with construction everywhere, prices sky-high, and traffic increasingly unbearable, but he made it clear that complaining is not the solution.
"Asere, the good thing about this is that if you leave Cuba or whatever country you left from, the United States is enormous. If you don’t like Miami, my brother, there are more mountains up north, there are more towns, there are more cities... Don’t complain so much about Miami!" he expressed in his unique style.
His message sparked debate among his followers: “Miami exhausts me and my idea is to retire elsewhere. For now, I’m not leaving since this is where the people I care about are, and that’s enough”; “If you don’t agree with everything you say, they should return to Cuba or the country they came from and that way they can be happy”; “But they don’t want to learn English, which is why they don’t leave Miami”; “People are afraid of English, but life is much better and more peaceful”; “Very true. Miami is very beautiful even with its craziness. It’s called diversity. Buddy, anyone who doesn’t understand that is really messed up.”
"I completely agree with you, that's why I left there a long time ago. You don't live there, you just survive"; "I say the same thing, if they don't like it, they should leave. I don't understand what they're doing in Miami if supposedly it's so terrible. Another thing, I have friends from many countries and no one complains, on the contrary, they are grateful to be here, but we Cubans complain about everything unfortunately, and in Cuba, we were like sheep", others expressed.
