Public outrage is mounting in China over allegations that a major state-owned food company has been cutting costs by using the same tankers to carry fuel and cooking oil – without cleaning them in between.
The scandal, which implicates China’s largest grain storage and transport company Sinograin, and private conglomerate Hopefull Grain and Oil Group, has raised concerns of food contamination in a country rocked in recent decades by a string of food and drug safety scares – and evoked harsh criticism from Chinese state media.
It was an “open secret” in the transport industry that the tankers were doing double duty, according to a report in the state-linked outlet Beijing News last week, which alleged that trucks carrying certain fuel or chemical liquids were also used to transport edible liquids such as cooking oil, syrup and soybean oil, without proper cleaning procedures.
Because it’s easier to call anything that disagrees with your world view as “lies” than to accept that the own world view is wrong.
Tankies are the masters of rejecting reality.
Well, since we have a disagreement about what’s true, then there’s one surefire way to settle it, right?
Evidence. If you’re saying that I’m lying and rejecting reality, surely you can point me to evidence that I’m wrong, right? So link me to the comments you saw of people denying this story.Oh wait, you can’t, because it didn’t happen. Because y’all make shit up about us all the time and never have the receipts, because fundamentally, we believe in basing our beliefs on evidence and you do not.
And when that evidence leads you to be right about world events like Trump, capitalism, and the rise of fascism, do you apologize for being right? No, you rub it in everyone else’s faces, and this makes me angry and frustrated. Can you not be nicer about being right?
Shit made me laugh, good one.
And yet, still zero evidence 🤔
