North Korea has Infiltrated the Tech Sector.
North Korea, long known as the most sanctioned and isolated regime on Earth, has somehow managed to insert its workers into hundreds of American companies. These aren’t operatives sneaking across borders or Cold War sleeper agents hiding behind suburban picket fences. They’re remote developers who appear in Zoom meetings, clock in from supposedly legitimate addresses in Japan or South Korea or Seattle, write code that passes muster, and collect paychecks like any ordinary employee. They’ve landed roles in AI labs, fintech startups, media organizations, blockchain firms, and even defense contractors—the exact spaces most countries try desperately to secure from foreign interference.

The Shadow Recession and AI
There are a few things within conventional economics that I believe we rely on too much as an indicator of how well… or how shit an economy is actually doing. And GDP, and GDP per capita are probably top of the list of things that Economists like me rely on far too much, because if you believe the conventional wisdom, the GDP of America going up is a sign that the Tariffs are working and the economy is doing well. But if you ask everyday Americans, the picture is not sunshine or rainbows, it is quite the opposite. The sticker price at the store is more now than it ever has been, and their wages are not really growing to meet the cost of living at all. The economy has functionally been stagnant long before Trump and likely started during Biden’s tenure. But Trump is absolutely making it worse on the lowest strata of Americans.
