“DPRK IT workers can individually earn more than USD 300,000 a year in some cases, and teams of IT workers can collectively earn more than USD 3 million annually,” the alert warns. “DPRK IT workers provide a critical stream of revenue that helps fund the DPRK regime’s highest economic and security priorities, such as its weapons development program.”

    My buddy recently bought some farm land and is working on starting up a coop. The guy they're working with used to be involved in agricultural labor organizing, so I think they've got a shot at succeeding. I'm hoping I can get involved fulltime once I quit my current job - I just need to save up a bit to buy in.

    All the labor is done by co-owners, which is cool. I visited and a bunch of commies were arguing over whether an ethical agricultural coop was even viable under capitalism. It seemed like my kind of pipe dream.
