He has a population that has utterly, completely forgotten how to do it. And anyone who did have that inclination has been killed off as an Enemy of the State. Epic Fail.

This is very big news. Baby Kim best watch his back because I am sure there are some in the Nork Military who won't like this at all.

Of course, their ChiCom counterparts might be able to educate them on how they can harness Crony Capitalism into more stuff to steal.

If the transition is successful, this will leave only Zimbabwe and Obama's inner circle as the only places on earth where pure state socialism is admired.

Good luck with that one. BO was recently quoted as saying “We tried that once, it didn’t work!”

Time for the NBA to expand with teams in the North and South. US clubs could play 2 in the North and 2 in the South on the same road trip. China would be jealous. Lot more fun than ping pong.

“REPORT: KIM JONG UN TO TRY MARKET ECONOMY FOR NORTH KOREA”

Reality: Obama attempting to switch USA to marxist economy.

What’s wrong here?

N. Korea's Supreme People's Assembly just ended a few days ago. It was supposed to approve sweeping economic reform measures. Instead it only managed to approve mandatory 12-year education. Something went wrong. Words have been coming out of NK for months which indicated that momentum was building up for economic reform, and observers in SK expected that it will culminate in the Assembly's approval of sweeping economic reforms. Very anti-climatic development. Another indication that things are not well in NK

They did some piddling little farm reform thing a bit back and nothing much seems to have come from that.

I am oh so close to making Kim Jung-eun a parody target for my new blog.

On top of that they have problem with the currency:

The Korean Peninsula has just celebrated Chuseok, the traditional harvest festival of the Korean people.

However, rising Chinese Yuan exchange rates have driven price inflation in North Korea to an extreme level in recent months, making it difficult for those without access to sufficient foreign currency to prepare the customary Chuseok ‘ancestral rites’ table.

Not an easy task to be a Supreme Leader! Both Supreme Leaders (NK and Iran) have similar problems.
