    If that’s how you feel, doesn’t an honest assessment of why North Korea is in the position it is require context? I can’t speak for Nate & Wharf, but i just find it hard to make an honest assessment of North Korea as a country when it has been sanctioned and isolated to oblivion. The US basically stripped the northern half of that peninsula down to nothing during the Korean War while murdering a significant amount of the civilian population. it’s not even comparable to Cuba in terms of its starting point out from under imperialism. What would you or I do differently and better than what they’re currently doing?

    they’ll call it an excuse just like anytime a broader context is considered

    The line we always got was “unions were important a hundred years ago, but now they’re not necessary.”

    I don’t know if it was a mix of schooling and media but my perception of unions was that they are corrupt and worse for workers until I was in my 20s

    that's the fault of leadership, not because it heavily industrialized its agricultural sector during the 60-70s, in the less arable part of korea, making it very reliable on foreign inputs (ie. gas, fuel, machine parts), that it can no longer get due to the fall of the soviet union and sanctions.:humpf::humpf::humpf:

    I fucking hate this party. First time ever with the Trifecta and just paying off your corporate donors. State Republicans already giving the impression they are going to outflank them on this. Republican Speaker already talking about how GM has done nothing for the State (which is true) even though they get all these subsidies and government money.

    Remember when I said Whitmer was just a corporate Dem in progressive Dem's clothing. This right here is the bullshit I am talking about.

    There was a babyfaction Union faction in the late 90's WWF led by Mick Foley that fought Vince McMahon. That is where I learned unions were good.

    Also my dad unionizing the nursing home he works at (UFCW) when I was in high school helped too lol
