Has anyone else run up against higher costs due to the US tariffs?
I'm curious to hear stories. Aside from generally higher prices, I've been mostly ok. But yesterday I was going to order a t-shirt to support a game developer, and was surprised to see the total...
I'm curious to hear stories. Aside from generally higher prices, I've been mostly ok. But yesterday I was going to order a t-shirt to support a game developer, and was surprised to see the total doubled at checkout. I thought it might be shipping at first since it was an international order, but upon closer inspection I saw the tariff charge adding a whopping $30 to my $30 t-shirt order

That's pretty much it, the title ... any chance of seeing the two Koreas rejoined in our lifetime? If so, how might that come to pass? If not, why not?
Also, related questions...
How much of the on-going dispute is actually between "regular" Koreans, and how much of it is explicitly caused by N Korean (and/or S Korean) leadership?
How out-of-touch with the rest of the world are "regular" N Koreans?
Just a passing thought ... open-ended discussion ... not strictly insisting on it, but let's try to keep the discussion serious, and civil.
