Conservative Media Critical Of Newly Reduced 52 Hour Work Week
Korea introduced a law to limit the work week to 52 hours. Many foreign media outlets commended the measure.
Conservative Korean media, such as the Joongang Daily (affiliated with Samsung), try to make the 52 hour work week look bad, stating that it is creating hardships for hourly workers due to decreased income. If they have to work 68 hours a week in order to feed themselves, which was the maximum allowed under the old law, then something is definitely wrong. They need to be paid a better hourly wage.
They also state that companies will have a hard time hiring more workers in order to make up for the shorter work hours. Korea's unemployment rate is at an all time high and labor laws are so unfair that international labor organizations periodically recommend that the laws be changed. They don't even need to classify a "regular worker" as an employee. Under the law, they can be contracted workers with reduced legal rights and who can be fired after one year when the contract ends.

Korea Unemployment
Most Korean media has finally acknowledged that the rise in unemployment is due to overcrowding of small businesses in such areas as restaurants and retail, and decrease in industrial jobs.
They still criticize President Moon's policies of spending money on low income people and on creating jobs. They do not mention all the tens of billions of dollars wasted by the previous conservative administrations of former Presidents Myung-bak Lee and Keun-hye Park. Myung-bak Lee wasted probably over a hundred billion dollars on construction projects to build canals in which almost all the major construction companies were found guilty of collusion in jacking up bidding prices and faulty construction. They were promptly granted amnesty by President Keun-hye Park. Then there were all the tens of billions of dollars wasted by President Keun-hye Park in her "Creation of Businesses" projects which were ridden with corruption and waste.
The good news is although President Moon has seen his popularity drop from the 80s to the 50s, the conservative party did not achieve any gains in popularity. In fact, they dropped to 11% which is a record low. This is the party that most Korean media blindly support and has almost 50% of the seats in the National Assembly. Their popularity rating was usually over 40%.
It seems most Koreans do not believe conservative media propaganda. And they definitely do not believe the party that supported and fiercely defended former Presidents Myung-bak Lee and Keun-hye Park.
Wish we had NORML in Korea. I would start a chapter, but I am afraid of being arrested.

As many comedians pointed out, alcohol is a very dangerous drug, and so are cigarettes. These actually kill a lot of people. Consuming marijuana never killed anyone.

Dark Energy
If the universe is surrounded by emptiness, then the universe would have pressure and the surroundings would have no pressure. There is no need for dark energy for the universe to expand. It would expand due to pressure difference.
Add this to the pressure exerted by radiation/photons shooting out of the universe.
