  • Are you asking for a source with unbiased info about North Korea? That’s almost impossible. Read some interviews with defectors and they will tell you how they bribed police or had hidden electronic devices.

    The average person in NK is just like you or me, but they don’t have much more than some basic food and a few possessions. Their lives basically suck solely because of the government and they live right next to one of the most developed metropolises on Earth.


  • Well that’s just not true. Anything electronic landing broken in NK would be scavenged for parts in 5 minutes. People in the countryside there don’t have access to new things like those in Pyongyang.

    They probably turn in the balloons to the local authority after they take what they want. Then the local police take some and send it to the main headquarters. I’m sure it’s like drug shipments that start out at 10 kilos and end up at 2 kilos by the time it reaches the evidence locker.


  • Definitely not a time to be using an automated response. Banks and credit unions have to comply with strict regulations so the most annoying customers need to be babied like this.

    If you read the message, they are sticking closely to the specific rules they have to follow. This is the proper way to deal with anyone demanding things like this: assume that all communications with customers will be used as evidence in court.
