Collecting Tins



N. Korean officials and workers in China ordered to collect funds for nuclear program

Some Chinese traders and acquaintances are refusing to lend money, even as they take pity on the North Korean officials

“Officials are running around to borrow money after North Korea ordered trade delegations and workers to ‘contribute to the fatherland’s military industries by collecting munition funds of loyalty, even if trade officials and overseas service sector workers have to sleep little and eat less,'” a reporting partner in China told Daily NK on Friday, speaking of condition of anonymity.

This one left me with an image of people standing in front of supermarkets waving nuclear weapon collection tins under the noses of shoppers. Maybe with a little picture of a smiling mushroom cloud depicted on each tin.

It's a mad world, but we knew that.

I wonder how much a nuclear bomb costs. Go Fund Me would be funny: "We've reached £139.52 of our £119.000.000 target"
