My intent was to contrast Nk’s draconian systems with Singapore’s. They are also much more prosperous per capita then NK.
So if one was stuck living in one place or the other in terms of draconian drug laws, where would you want to live?
I’d choose to chafe a bit and live in Singapore! You had mentioned NK but Singapore is a far more successful enterprise than NK. They do have a great deal more personal freedoms than NK but don’t get caught vandalizing street signs!
