Re: Oh no!
in fact if we ban opium, that will show those evil foreigners!
Indeed. We need citizens to get addicted to prescription drugs to shore up the profits of the sector.

The upper limit is important as the mission planning would have had to take that into account for the fuel required for the return journey.

Re: Wait, is this some kind of private equity investing in lawsuits?
Trying to deal with 4.4 million small claims might be the bigger nightmare for FB, the claimants might end up with more in their pockets but the lawyers' children might have to subsist on dry bread and gruel.
Yes, something even along the lines of the Payment Protection Insurance(PPI) redress that got setup in the UK. I can't remember the exact lead up to that being setup - test case/official inqurt, but, it was made easier and straightforward for the individual to claim. Of course it did also spawn the hoards of PPI leaching firms trying to get their grubby hands on what was due to you.

Wind and quite a bit of fog shroud Boris Johnson's energy vision for the UK
Tuesday 6th October 2020 22:32 GMT
Number Crunching
"Boris Johnson’s bold new vision for offshore wind to power every home in the UK by 2030 would require almost £50bn in investment and the equivalent of one turbine to be installed every weekday for the whole of the next decade.
The huge investment, calculated by Aurora Energy Research, an Oxford-based consultancy, would increase the UK’s offshore wind power capacity by four times what it is today, to reach 40GW by 2030."
Tuesday 6th October 2020 22:26 GMT 
One wonders how many households the PM could power using his own human wind turbine.
That will be a reality once they succeed in cloning Boris (Doris the Sheep style), and each household can be provided with it's own Boris Clone.
The problem with the current state of the research is that just like the original, a Boris Clone requires an attendant Cummings Clone to survive

Wind/Gas Bag
"I remember how some people used to sneer at wind power, twenty years ago, and say that it wouldn’t pull the skin off a rice pudding," he is expected to say.
"They forgot the history of this country. It was offshore wind that puffed the sails of Drake and Raleigh and Nelson, and propelled this country to commercial greatness."
But the prime minister will fail to mention that the only person known to have made this colourful claim about wind farms is himself, in 2013.
Just seven years ago, rather than twenty, he told the LBC radio station: "Labour put in a load of wind farms that failed to pull the skin off a rice pudding. We now have the opportunity to get shale gas - let's look at it."
Note: The above was reported from pre-released lines from his keynote address, and that may have changed by the time he came to give the address.
