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.
