Content warning: re: UKPol Oil Drilling

So now in the house you've got the Conservative leader of the opposition saying About time, you should do even more!
While the PM thinks (wrongly) that household bills will go down as a result of this somehow. And that he'll change tax laws to make that so?
They both agree it's brilliant to drill for more fossil fuels because if we do it in Europe then we don't have to buy it from Russia.
They both think (wrongly) that it increases energy security to drill more oil and sell it on the global markets.
🙄
Agreement from both sides then.
We are so doomed.

Going down some youtube rabbithole, I recently learned that, apparently, it's quite common in the US that gas stations sell sketchy pills, marketed as sex enhancers or energy boosters.
These usually don't contain what the label says, ingredients are often viagra or opioid-like substances. While that's all kinda illegal, there's barely any enforcement, as this falls under "supplement" regulation, which kinda means "nobody looks after that".
All of that sounds so bizarre and fucked up...

At end of the 3-day window, Jio Platforms India IPO has 22x subscription. It is over-subscribed in every allocation category; non-institutional investor subscription is 14x. 🫨
But get this, the IPO was *fully subscribed in just 100 minutes* after opening. 🫨🫨
A lot of individual investors will probably lose serious money: they buy high in the first week of listing; sell low in weeks 2-3 to "cut losses", when the rich sharks swoop in and get richer. 🥺
