one thing you can say about jeffrey epstein is that he simply loved emailing

People who deny the existence of dragons are often eaten by dragons. From within.

If I said I want your corpus now

Figure showing the vast disparity between Chinese and American steel production. A horizontal bar chart shows China's massive output at 990 million tonnes in 2024, dwarfing the United States' production of 81 million tonnes during the same period. Visually, the bar for China stretches across nearly the entire width of the frame, while the U.S. bar is a small fraction of its size, illustrating that China produces over 12 times more steel than the U.S.. This scale of production means China accounts for over 50% of total global steel output, maintaining its status as the world's undisputed leader in the industry.
