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.

That could lead to worker burnout.
Oops, I reminded myself BEFORE not to go to Noth Korea...
A lot of the NK meth finds its way into Japan, The Phillipines and Taiwan. Also China and even into Europe - vie the M.E.
I wonder if Dental Care is also in their contract.../wiseass
