they need some big fans running pushing air north across the border.
They can open the giant DMZ fans to tourist so we can fart at North Korea.
Waste?
They’re using it as a euphemism for poop. For some reason.
It’s not just poop, it’s other assorted garbage too which I think explains the term
Seems to me they could glean some info regarding the prevalence of parasites and other enteric pathogens from said poop. Somewhat recently there was someone who escaped across the border that was infested with worms.
That's a great idea. Analyze the feces or garbage and then publish public reports about the deficiencies of NK life. That'd embarrass Kim enough they'd probably stop.

It makes me feel so bad for the Koreans living under that regime. On top of barely having anything to eat, there are parasitic worms interfering with absorbing the food they do ingest.
I don't know that they're eating well, but the famines haven't been a thing since the 90's.
The parasites are what happens when you spend all your trade income on guns instead of medicine.
NK is filling them with garbage.
Welcome to the shittiest timeline.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff said a suspected balloon was seen flying in northern Gyeonggi Province, which borders Seoul, around 9 p.m. local time (8 p.m.
A day later, on Friday, Kim Yo Jong, the powerful sister of North Korea’s leader, warned of “trouble” ahead.
The analysis found roundworms, whipworms and larva currens along with other waste, such as cloth and wastepaper, the ministry said, adding there was no risk of contamination or infectious disease from the analyzed soil.
Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a defense agreement with North Korea last week as talks on its denuclearization efforts have stalled, and Kim has vowed to expand his country’s nuclear arsenal and threatened to use it against the South.
It is the latest in a series of US military moves aiming to affirm Washington’s “ironclad” commitment to its treaty ally in South Korea.
“The United States, ROK, and Japan condemn in the strongest possible terms deepening military cooperation between the DPRK and Russia, including continued arms transfers from the DPRK to Russia that prolong the suffering of the Ukrainian people, violate multiple United Nations Security Council Resolutions, and threaten stability in both Northeast Asia and Europe,” the statement said.
The original article contains 621 words, the summary contains 197 words. Saved 68%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
