It is said that, in N. Korea, meth is not hard to find if folks look for it. So they would not raise eyebrows if they see somebody doing it. They may think that giving it as stimulant is not such a big deal.

Over the years, there have been some reports out of N. Korea saying that many ordinary people and even officials are using it. Now they are bring it to a new level. I suspect it is not officially sanctioned, but officials in charge of project are under great pressure to meet the deadline. They know what is the price for failure these days. So it is not hard to imagine that officials are surreptitiously giving it to workers to work longer and faster. By now it may be an open secret.

P!

Probably not a problem as long as they give the building inspectors LSD so they can experience an alternate reality during the inspection.

The result will be a methed-up structure, I fear.

When the NK government finally collapses, Seoul is going to have an enormous rebuilding task on its hands.

Like this doesn’t happen here. Not given by the bosses but this is a common thing especially in certain early morning jobs.

[AU72]

Yeah, but is it ‘Breaking Bad’ pure?

[ColdOne]

Just what I want to do....go in a skyscraper built by people on meth.

[Ditter]

Oh wow! What could possibly go wrong!, ; (

[cornfedcowboy]

Inspectors? I don’t think they have those. At least not real ones.

[Bayard]

For the cost of the drug they could have just fed them real food.

[DIRTYSECRET]

63 years. How much does the South owe us?

Engineering’s Rule of 3 is in play: fast, good, cheap...you get to pick only 2.

In this case they picked fast and cheap therefore the result will not be good. Its surprising how often this rule is disobeyed with less than happy consequences.

Not if they hired Heisenberg and Jesse Pinkman.

Would you want to ride to the 30th floor on an elevator installed by a guy who’d been up working for 36 hours under the influence of a mind altering drug?

Could there be a more ‘methed-up structure’, than the famous ‘Hotel of Doom’?

[4rcane]

Its none of our business. Conditions are already so bad in North Korea, if their citizen don’t do anything about it, its their own fault

[TigerLikesRooster]

Don't worry. Nobody is pitching for any handout or aid if it is what concerns you. N. Korean behaviors over the years created a donor fatigue from all sides. Even Chinese are showing some. I think it is one of the reasons why recent sanction has much wider support across globe.
People are just tired of their antics and fed up.

Ah yes, this completely empty beauty....

What, exactly, do you want them to do about it? They have no way to organize or even to share information between them; no right to assemble, peaceably or otherwise; and no weapons with which to fight. What’s more, they’re on the brink of starvation, and the only way to obtain the mere scraps that they do get is to bow down to Dear Leader.

Sad to say, but North Korea will not be freed from within. It will either be liberated from without, or left to collapse under the weight of its leaders’ evil and stupidity.
