Shirkers



N. Korea cracks down on mobilization shirkers to increase labor at farms

Fever cases are spiking in the country, leading to intensifying quarantine measures for personnel mobilized to rural farming areas

North Korea has issued general rural mobilization orders with the full-scale start of the planting season, but farms face manpower shortages as people shirk the mobilizations. The authorities are responding to this situation by setting up checkpoints throughout rural communities and sending passersby caught in random inspections to the farms to work.



Imagine tootling off for a pleasant walk in the country only to be nabbed by the police and carted off to the the nearest farm to work in the fields.

Shirley, no stalwart British plod would come and persecute you for having a walk in the deserted countryside just because Our Dear Leader, BoJo and his henchmen so deceed?
Aye, right.

That's going to illustrate the law of unintended consequences in a big way. No one to drive your bus or teach your child or operate on you, because they've been press-ganged into the Pak Choi hoeing team.
