I picked up an article from Microsoft News that kind of stood out to me. The title was
North Korea’s people face ‘grave’ situation, while its leaders enjoy luxuries
The Hermit Kingdom’s haves and have-nots
North Korea is facing a very uncertain time. Leader Kim Jong-un recently revealed at the ruling Workers’ Party committee that the nation’s people are dealing with “tense” food shortages and the price of the food that is available is rocketing. A packet of coffee can currently sell for more than $100, and staples such as potatoes, sugar and flour have also been affected. Kim has blamed last year’s typhoons, which led to flooding and meant grain targets couldn’t be met.
And the COVID-19 pandemic, which Kim has now called “grave”, has also seen the nation close its borders, shutting off trade from its neighbor China, and increasing an already difficult situation for the country as it is under numerous sanctions due to its nuclear program. Meanwhile, both North Korean citizens and people around the world have commented on Kim’s slimmer figure (pictured) and why he may have lost weight.
It had a really familiar ring to it. The price of food is skyrocketing? Yeah that is familiar. Under our dictator prices are skyrocketing.

North Korea’s leaders enjoy luxuries? Hey, so do ours! These are Joe Biden’s homes
Greenville, DE
Rehoboth Beach, DE
McLean, VA
Here’s poor Hunter Biden, who when not smoking parmesan cheese and prancing around naked in front of a minor is buying very expensive cars.
This is the same worthless POS who had no money for his out of wedlock child by a stripper and was able to pay off a tax lien of $450,000 within six days with no discernable income.
And other progressives?
Obama, Martha’s Vineyard
Pelosi, SF
The leaders here do not suffer, but rather enjoy luxuries and are corrupt without consequence while dictating how we are to live.
Just like North Korea.
DrJohn has been a health care professional for more than 30 years. In addition to clinical practice he has done extensive research and has published widely with over 70 original articles and abstracts in the peer-reviewed literature. DrJohn is well known in his field and has lectured on every continent except for Antarctica. He has been married to the same wonderful lady for over 30 years and has three kids- two sons, both of whom are attorneys and one daughter on her way into the field of education.
DrJohn was brought up with the concept that one can do well if one is prepared to work hard but nothing in life is guaranteed.
Except for liberals being foolish.
Revelation > Chapter 9 > Verse 4 … “A quart of wheat for a denarius, and three quarts of barley for a denarius, and do not harm the oil and wine.”
A man, a poor working man, back in the day when this verse was written could earn about one denarius a day.
A quart of wheat or three quarts of barley might sustain him for one day.
But the rich, who like the fine things need not worry.
Their wines and rich foods would be safe.
Just priced out of reach of the working people.
In a web site that has gone missing, I read about North Korean defectors and how badly they were treated while living in NK.
One thing that stuck in my memory was the gov’t mixing real rice with plastic rice so as to keep their own people weak, listless, and subdued.
But we are welcome to start eating bugs.
We are encouraged to eat “meat substitutes” that are made from soybean roots.
No animal in nature will eat soybean root.
And, when males eat it it turns them into “soy boys” at an alarming speed.
It contains estrogens at a much higher dose than, say, a tofu-filled fish soup or a soy sauce dip for meats or seafoods.
One consistency with Democrats is promoting high taxes. Yet they always find a way to skirt their own. None of the examples provided and the thousands of other wealthy Democrats accumulated great wealth while providing no useful services. They all make money off their positions, like the crack-head son of the stupidest president* in world history has cashed in on his father’s influence.
Their polices affect the poor first and worst but they never care. Maybe they’ll mandate some new payout of a few bucks but the pain of higher energy, food, rent and anything else just keeps going on and on and on. But that’s just the short term harm; eventually, it costs businesses and jobs.
*and not even lawfully elected.
