#FTI pushes for tougher steel checks
"the #Thai #steel #industry faces signif challenges due to China's #production #surplus. #China produces 1.1bil tonnes of steel p.a., w domestic dd at ~900mil tons. This leads to an excess of 200mil tons being #exported, particularly to #Thailand & oth #ASEAN c'tries. This influx, incl'g #substandard steel, remains a major concern.. ~30,000tons of #substandardsteel products hv been imported, w additional shipments continuing to arrive"

Another noodle dish w reddish-pink pieces of #pork, indicating the meat was #undercooked. This led to an online backlash abt #foodsafety" #Thailand

Angry. The porridge was warm, inedible. The requested hot milk was warm, as was the water for the tea. There was a dinner roll served warm, at least they got that right.

If you weren't aware, Substack is hosting scammer fraudulent sales sites now. One I reported is spamming out sales links for watches. (If they were legit, they'd not be opt-out slamming poorly misspelled target addresses.)

The #substack #substandard response: listwashing, shining-on, and a very odd offer to "delete your substack account" (I don't have one).

If you're using Substack, your deliverability is probably going to suffer even more than before. Unless Substack reverts this policy.
