My liver probably looked like it just went through 12 rounds with Manny Pacquiao. But the stories, oh my, the stories…
We mean “Western Internet,” of course, but considering 10 of the top 12 sites on Alexa are based in the West, it’s fair to wonder — as RFH did just now — “what the damage is economically by turning yourself into North Korea, Internet-wise.” Check out the image above, a very short list of websites...
