Hello Ari, always look forward to your posts. And another catchy title.
And more strikes, though in this case I am probably more on the side of the bus drivers. Your doctors seem to earn a fair wage in general, but the drivers by Australian standards do not by a long shot.
Australia has an interesting history with regards unionization and strikes and our Labor Party said to founded under a big tree in Blackall, Central Queensland about 130 yrs ago during The Great Shearer's Strike when the Army (quite small) was called in even. This is near a place where my family lived for about 100 yrs.
And forgot to comment on the use of seaweed in cooking. My Euro Heritage is Irish, Scottish and Cornish, and NO English. All three of these Celtic cultures have long history of using seaweed in their diet and it has come back into fashion ie by chefs like Jamie Oliver.
And the quail egg recipe is great. When young our next door neighbours had a lot of quail and chickens. Suburban blocks in Brisbane ran to about average of 900 sq metres, and it was common to have vegetable patch and various fruit trees like citrus and mango and we had a native Macadamia tree even; one of the nicest and flavoursome nuts there are, and quite large. And our street lined by majestic 40 metre tall pine trees, called Bunya Pines, also native, which have a huge pine cone weghing up to 9 kg when green and the pine kernals can be 3 inches long. A bit north of here was an area where these trees were prolific, and a source of First Nation's peoples diet.
We usually got a few when the city council would come to harvest them as they were a bit dangerous when they ripened and fell. A bit like coconut risk in a lot of places.
So we had a lot of quail eggs, partly due to the activity of our dog who was very protective of the birds against local cats and foxes and a big monitor type lizard called Goanas, which were quite sneaky.
And the reminder about It's OK to Be Not OK KDrama, which I really liked, is cool. Must rewatch.
At the other end of eggs, we also raised ostriches and had native emus (similar large flightless bird). Very large eggs; one of my great grandmother's Xmas pudding recipes started with take 4 large emu or ostrich eggs. And the meat of both birds is is very lean. The egg shells themselves
also carved like scrimshaw as ornaments by workmen in the remote outback at night.
Glad to learn that the Ironbar Redneck only got 285 votes. And hats off to the policeman who faced him off. This term is a bit old but a signature of respect from the days when we wore a lot of hats. You would momentarily take your hat of and give a slight bow.
And still deciphering Tlqfk but have got the general idea.
Last, re The Proletariat. Two must read and perhaps you and your readers have already; Animal Farm by George Orwell ( who has a nice website and free newsletter) and 1984 by Aldous Huxley, which has possibly one of the best book to movie translations ever with Sir Richard Burton as main protagonist, Winston, and fabulous soundtrack by The Eurythmics with the great voice of Annie Lennox (do chase these up) .
Both on my English Lit reading list at school in UK and here, well before 1984 had even occured!
Thanks for sending me all these rabbitholes to journey down. Cristoffa.
Since the Korean government prints money and therefore inflates it's money supply, the cost of living appears to increase and wages appear to stagnate. But in reality, those near the money printers of government and banks, which are like extensions of the government, take on more and more debt which increases the money supply.
Then, people who don't understand history and the kind of fiat money system they live in, take up the philosophy of envy and stealing that Karl Marx codified, and blame rich people and powerful people for their problems, even though capitalism has led to higher standards of living for everyone, everywhere.
Capitalism isn't to blame for the government debasing the WON. The quality of trade in every country is dependent upon the quality of money it uses. If the quality of the money is bad, which means it is losing value because of poor government choices, then that makes it harder for everyone rich and middle class and poor.
The bus drivers are getting angry with bus companies and demanding higher wages, but the costs for the bus companies are also rising because the WON is losing buying power.
A proletarian revolution based on the lies of Karl Marx will, if carried out to its fullest extent, would greatly damage Korean society.
The most powerful choice every Korean, and every person around the world in similar circumstances can take is to start using a better quality of money. A kind of money that the Korean government, and no other government, can print more of at no cost to themselves.
Bitcoin, when adapted and self-custodied by all Koreans, will stop the economic and social decline of South Korea, and raise it to a world class leader position, the same way that President Nayib Bukele of El Salvador is raising his country to a leadership position by adapting a Bitcoin Standard.
Fix the money of South Korea with Bitcoin, and South Korea will heal and reject the Marxist philosophy that's led to the murder and death of 100,000,000 people in the last 100 years alone.

We send support from France to all the Korean workers who had to go on a strike for their rights. 🙏

It's time for South Korea to shine. Buy Bitcoin.
