Someone from North Korea could tell you that USSR people had an easy life. We don't see those stories on HN because there's only one person in NK who has internet.

True, there's always someone who has it worse.

Obligatory Monty Python sketch:

"I had to get up in the morning at ten o'clock in the night, half an hour before I went to bed. … And when we got home, our dad would kill us and dance about on our graves, singing Hallelujah!"

Those were Chinese villagers who could tell North Koreans that whining about lack of food is a privelege when you can go outside and see skies.
