  • What the fuck kind of chart/graph is that?! It arguably gives less information than a simple sentence containing the two percentages.

    I hate journalists so fucking much

    • Until 2023, China produced 99 percent of the world’s supply of heavy rare earth metals, with a trickle of production coming out of a refinery in Vietnam. But that refinery has been closed for the past year because of a tax dispute, leaving China with a monopoly.

    • Graph is very funny at least.
