Reason number one: it’s a publicly traded American company.
A friend of mine worked on a fast food store that had an ice cream machine. And I’ll tell you: it happens more often than you think.
North and South Korea aren’t rivals. North Korea has been trying to free South Korea for decades.
Lots of Koreans don’t even consider them different countries.
But one day the US military will leave South Korea and leave these people alone.
I never said all Koreans. Or even most Koreans.
The US has occupied your country for so long that their propaganda got too strong in SK. The younger you are, the higher the chances of you seeing the world their way.
And the higher the chances you’re not asking them to leave.
North Koreans can cross the border. The US have been feeding you too much propaganda.
When my cousin was there, he took a train from North Korea to China, along with several other Koreans. It’s a regular train between the two countries. I can link to his YouTube video (it’s in Portuguese, can at least you can see the train even if you don’t understand what he’s saying).
The only border they can’t cross is to South Korea. But that’s because they’re at war, not because of fear they won’t come back.
Hi. This is his video taking the regular train between NK and China. He made a playlist with his videos in NK.

I don’t know if there’s a way to generate translations from Portuguese to English, though.
Also, I don’t know what are China’s rules on immigration. They already have 500 trillion people, so they probably don’t make it easy to immigrate.
But no one in China will stop you from going from China to other countries. There are North Koreans that moved here to Brazil. And you can probably find them in other countries as well.
I would guess that the biggest barrier preventing anyone from migrating is that it’s hard as hell. Not the process itself, but leaving everything behind and moving far away, speaking another language.
And they would have to leave behind a country where they have free housing, absolutely zero taxes, good education, safety, and most important: guaranteed employment. So even though the US-imposed blockade makes their lives much harder, many people consider it to be better than moving to China and working 6 days a week in a low income job. Or working a low income job in any other nearby country.
Yes, very few were Koreans going to China when he recorded the video. I just meant to show that they CAN go to China.
Korea is not a free country
No country is 100% free. They’re at war. Brazil is not. Not only that, but they’ve been infiltrated by CIA agents posing as tourists multiple times. So now they banned pictures of their military.
But if you watch other videos from that playlist, you’ll see they did record military a few times.
There’s many videos, interviews, and books for you to read
I did. A lot. Like, A LOT.
Unfortunately, some of the weirdest stories come from CIA-created propaganda.
But NK did have a very bad period, which is when most refugees left North Korea. They were invaded and had their infrastructure destroyed so bad that they had to go back to using animal traction instead of motorized vehicles.
That lack of infrastructure, together with the US preventing them from buying things from most other countries, meant lots of people were hungry and scared. They left Korea thinking that it was the worst place in the world. And for a few years, it probably was.
Do you remember when a couple weeks of truck drivers on strike creating a blockade sent Brazil into chaos? Now imagine a blockade that lasts for decades. Now imagine that when someone destroyed your country so hard that you don’t even have reliable roads or factories.
I would leave the country for much less.
But they reverted that with a lot of hard work. North Korea today is not the same NK that these immigrants left behind a few decades ago. I’m not saying its perfect, I’m saying it’s not the hell that the US tries to make it look like. And it would probably be a very very good country to live in, if they could buy food and technology from outside.
Mozilla gotta do something.
And based on their actions on recent years, that something is probably going to be: 1) firing more developers, and 2) increasing the compensation of their CEO.
