Look ,personally I want this to be perfect ,to include every single detail not mentioned about the DPRK in the west ,also no I’m not gonna tell you how I have contact with a DPRK diplomat ,please ask sincere questions and remember this is a DPRK diplomat, not a citizen so there is stuff that they can’t answer and stuff that they aren’t allowed to answer

If my friend from the DPRK replies ,I will update you but this is for someone else ,I’ve acquired a lot of important info on the DPRK that I want to share with all of you and this is so that it could be perfect ,please ask good questions

So far this is the answer thread

Updated my other comment.

Also I thought you would find this [sci-hub link] tangentially relevant and interesting. It's about DPRK's Taean work system, an ancestor of whatever work system is in effect there currently. Of course, a warning on the background of the author, it might not be to your liking.

I"m gonna try to read through this at some point. Work life in DPRK and just socialist states in general is something I'm actually interested in because I have a life long history of unemployment and have suffered pretty greatly because of it. People laugh when I tell them I'd do shit jobs if it insured a comfortable living and actual retirement, but I've basically never had that luxury living in the States all my life.

From my experience in the US (frequent unemployment, likely due to partially undiagnosed AuDHD - the autism part is a hinderance) the harder the work is the worse it pays. I’ve done absolutely brutal insane construction work in insane dangerous conditions and made just a couple dollars more than minimum wage, meanwhile paper pushers in cush office jobs work remote for $100k+ a year.

You are preaching to the choir. I'm also the ASD unemployment statistic, but I was mostly making a hypothetical. I've done some shitty ass jobs and they paid peanuts. My job before what I'm doing now paid $73,000 and I probably worked 4 hours out of the workday writing code.
