Must be big happy fun at promotion time. Norks can’t say no or play sick. Their only option is to take the job and hope they don’t get executed.

Following Darth Vader's example in The Empire Strikes Back.

Last I heard the favorite method was to have them stand on an “X” marks the spot.

That’s when the person is given a Catcher’s Mit and they have to play catch the incoming Mortar Round...

How exactly were they supposed to stop floods?

"What did he use, howitzer, anti-aircraft gun, bouncing bettys in the prison yard?"

Maybe he let them play with his dogs...

Great pay. Lots of opportunities for advancement. Work in the corridors of power. Meet Dear Leader!

“Excellent severance plan”

Wondering if they got the canon treatment.

They don’t have to deal with unemployed former government officials.

“Wouldn’t firing them be enough?”

[Paul R.]

All sorts of actions by humans, and non-actions, can make flooding worse than it needed to be. Were levees and dams maintained, for example? Were hillsides stripped of trees not reforested? And so on.

Ain’t communism wonderful

Should have been done in New Orleans after the Hurricane Katrina levy failures.

August 2025 news wire... North Korean leader Kim Jong Un orders 30 officials to be executed over their alleged failure to prevent massive DROUGHT, which occurred because these incompetent officials did not make sure that the rains would come on time....

Sure make those weather forecasters tow the line!

Funny how the buck never stops at his desk but always well downwind.
