What we are seeing here, is what happens whenever Socialists get absolute power.

The private sector tries to survive by doing everything it can to avoid the damage.

Then the Socialists react by taking over private business. Oh they may not do that here, but what they will do is legislate what businesses must do.

In short order there is no private business. The private sector removes it’s funds. The government steps in. You wind up with no private sector, and a total communist police state.

“We will find you, and cleanse you!”

If you want to be successful in the U. S., I recommend learning to goose step higher than those you’ll be competing against, and develop a way to turn on your fellow citizens in a manner they can’t see.

Welcome to Eastern Europe, 1970.

We can call it the Wheat Curtain, something else we won’t have in short order.

This turns around in short order, or all bets are off.

North Korea-Run Restaurants Spread Propaganda and Kimchi Across Asia By Sebastian Strangio

TGI Friday's meets DPRK propaganda center, the state-owned Pyongyang Cafés provide kitschy entrainment and much-needed revenues for the regime back home

Waitresses perform for diners at the Pyongyang Restaurant in Phnom Penh. By Sebastian Strangio VLADIVOSTOK, Russia and SEOUL, South Korea -- The Pyongyang Café sits at 58B Verkhneportovaya Street, a short walk from the twinkling lights of Vladivostok's container port. Patrons in this east Russian city, the home of the Pacific Fleet, are greeted at the door by pretty Korean waitresses, who take their coats and usher them into small booths with pine tables and lashings of plastic foliage. From a separate area of the restaurant -- reserved for Koreans, one waitress tells me -- comes the muffled sound of a karaoke machine, the same song warbling on repeatedly. After a bottle of Russian beer, a plate of dumplings, and a tasty bowl of bibimbap, Korea's national rice dish, I hand over a wad of rubles equivalent to about $35.

Among the city's growing cohort of Korean restaurants, Pyongyang Café has an unusual claim to fame. It is run by the North Korean government, part of a far-flung chain of restaurants that funnels much-needed foreign exchange to the ailing regime in Pyongyang. Andrey Kalachinsky, a veteran journalist and local analyst, said that in the Soviet era, when Vladivostok was a closed military city, the Pyongyang Café was the only foreign eatery in town -- a symbol of the political and economic ties between the Soviet Union and Marshal Kim Il-Sung's Democratic People's Republic of Korea.
