The travelling circus is back in town today
STFU Petey boy. Don’t you have some Trade Wars to lose? Look busy before Mango send your sorry ass to the breadlines.

In other news, things don’t look well in five eyes economy. I’m a bit shocked that New Zealand is getting hit too since it has a pretty good social safety net.

What are tank bottoms?​

Storage facilities must generally operate within their working storage capacity limitations, which prevents inventories of crude oil and other products from truly falling to zero under normal conditions. This means that not every barrel of crude oil or petroleum in inventories is necessarily accessible. In extreme cases, an inventory facility may be unable to provide a product even though it is not technically empty, because it is effectively at the bottom of its working storage capacity.

The US EIA posted this just now.

Must be an indicator of the clear transparent oil made with 100% air overflowing the top of the tanks.

It's not just a journalist thing. No one hate China more than the Chinese. I know many people like that. They don't take pride in being Chinese whatsoever and just criticize all days and nights. To the points that I do question if national pride really exists in China. Do these dudes feel more proud if they are born in freaking India instead (which all Indians feel proud of).
A LOT of the information that Think Tank stooges like CSIS, CSET and others used to convince D.C. Stooges to launch the tech war against China and the impose strict exports controls like the "2022 October surprise" comes from the Doom and Gloom of Chinese money guys and Chinese "Industry Analysts". Or what Think Tank call, "insiders". Guys who many of them never worked in the industry and with unrealistic pessimistic views about China semiconductor industry. Incapable of seeing deeper than the surface.

Not it isn’t. They actually communicate in the Chinese language there. Probably the 润人 type who risk getting brutally sodomized by Central American snakeheads to sneak into the U.S. just to get rounded up and deported by Icetapo three months later.
Generally when you see PRC folks climbing over the GFW and show up in western internet they tend to fall into the two extremes. They are either despondent people unsatisfied with their life and venting, in which case CPC is a convenient target. Or they are middle class and well off enough and curious enough that they have the spare time and interest to see the outside internet. The second group when they see the first group and their extreme self-hate then generally becomes more pro-CPC.

So places like china_irl and twitter are ripe for flame war since the population is self-selecting to be on either end of the spectrum. Majority of people who are in the middle don't bother with getting a VPN.

You see this in particular on twitter/X, where you always hear people say they're only here for the soft core porn but all the retardation is subconsciously making them into patriots.

Another good example is this, from back when the tiktok refugees showed up on Red Note:

Red Note people tend to be self-selected as female and petite-bourgeoisie.
