Or a combination of government incentives, high fuel prices, and taxes make cars like Tesla comparatively economical.....or they are just filthy rich vikings, either way.

NYC used to be a lot "harder" massive gentrification and Giuliani (a former mayor) really changed things in a big way.

Yeah I experienced that myself. I had an issue with a soldier in Nampo and I was able to get out of it for $2 USD

Given the current expansionist stance of Russia and China I think having good air to air capabilities are vital.

Again I am not Shane Smith or anyone from VICE so I can not speak to their motives or know first hand what their trip was like. That said I heard from one of the western guides from Koryo Tours that much of their pieces were faked. On the "VICE guide to North Korea" there is a big scene where Shane Smith was seated at a table in a big room with tons of place settings out and just him there to eat. He comments about how weird it is and how it is all a show and all that stuff. Well that guy from Koryo was in the building leading a tour (Shane according to him was also on a tour, you have to be) when Shane was there and he said that the reason that there was so many place settings was that Shane had come down early for breakfast and made it seem like the place settings for all the other guests on other tours were part of some weird show that just was just for them. This made sense to me as that was the exact same room me and everyone else in the Yanggakdo Hotel ate at every single morning for breakfast in Pyongyang. Later on at the Mass Games he made it seem (to my recollection, which could be wrong) like there was almost no one at the mass games, like it was somehow just him and a couple of other people there. Maybe that was the case, maybe he caught a weird night or made some weird deal to get a private showing but when I was there it was PACKED the whole side of the stadium opposite the performance was filled (my night could have been an unusual night, who knows) and as far as where they sat, it was nothing special anyone who wants to pay 200 euros can sit there but you get just as good of a view and much less expense by going one level in cost lower.
