North Korea Criticizes U.S.’s End of Housing Eviction Mandate
Here is a surprising topic North Korea has decided to weigh in on:
North Korea on Friday denounced the expiration of a pandemic-related U.S. government ban on residential evictions, saying Washington should address its own human rights issues before “poking its nose” into other countries’ affairs.
A U.S. government ban on evictions for residents that have failed to pay rent during the COVID-pandemic expired at the end of last month in most parts of the country, putting millions of vulnerable residents at risk of losing their homes.
“Before talking impudently about the ‘human rights issues’ of other countries, the U.S. should address the human rights problems of its own society, which are daily getting worse, owing to its anti-popular policies,” the North’s foreign ministry said on its website.

Read one report that a landlord couldn’t get rent payments from a tenant because the tenant said he had no money. Then a new boat showed up in the tenant’s parking space. Welcome to Biden’s America.
An intentional result of needless lockdowns, destroyed small business economy, rent moratoriums, etc., is independent upper middle class landlords working hard, doing everything right, and planning a retirement that doesn’t include eating dog food, get destroyed by connected banks and predatory crony capitalists.
Once again, self-sufficiency, delayed gratification, and following the rules is punished.
Good job, government.
I wonder what they said about the fall of Kabul?
And what that might say about Seoul?
