"Free housing. You cannot purchase apartments or houses. The government own all real estate, and give everyone rights to occupy a home, free of cost. There are no homeless people or beggary. Good work performance also give you a better home and many free gifts, and the monetary salary (if it does really exist) is not so important. Cost of living is almost ZERO."
Sure, North Koreans don't get paid that much, but they don't require much pay. They have free housing provided by the government and they get free food rations. The food rations are not fine delicacies, but they are enough to survive on without starving. Besides, look at the problems Americans have from having way to much food. Obesity, heart disease, stroke, diabetes, etc. North Korea is not the horrible shithole for the common worker that so many people make it out to be. They are not as technologically advanced, but their people have basic necessities taken care of for them. Which is something the United States cannot say.
