#1 So they're recommending a "buy", assuming NorK isn't wiped off the map, eh?

Hell, I'm sold.

#2 Realistically, the Commies won't admit to any problems-failures in state planning even iff it collapsed today. PRAVDA is criticizing Russians whom make over US$10,000 a month - meanwhile, US citizens > average $300,000.

#3 Is there any economy to collapse? How close can you approach zero?

#4 What are the chances the further collapse of the Nork economy would turn the earth into a black hole, transporting it through a worm hole back say 1,500 years?

#5 1/ As long as you have people able to use THEIR time you have an economy.

2/ To create wealth they have to exchange their time based on comparitive advantage (i.e. perform their least worst task).

3/ People's productivity (i.e. their pay in a free market) is based on their ability to supply a demand, which is inversly relative to the number of other people able to supply that task.

Socialism harms all 3.
Socialism Starve's, Free market feed.

#6 meanwhile, US citizens > average $300,000.

Why did nobody tell me I'm poor?

#7 I think it's income per year, or GPD per capita, otherwise, someone is not giving you your cut.

#8 Perhaps they can sell grass and bark recipes.

#9 Well, she can always hope.
Isn't this the guy who blew up a bomb in Rangoon?
They guy who let over a million people starve needlessly.
The guy who runs real gulags, torture centers, forced abortion clinics, censors media?
You'd think it would be hard for a guy like that to find supporters, even among liberals.

#10 I would take $300,000 a year!

#11 I knew somebody wasn't giving me my cut on the action.
