          It's starting to look like this is the right thread to discuss Hertz, which among other things has launched a share offering while bankrupt.

            Efficient Capital Markets, innit?

              I wonder if the US government is going to end up bailing out all the Robinhood punters, Italy-style.

                Only if they borrowed heavily from major commercial banks and have agreed to idemnify same.

                Though given Mnuchin's ability to pay more than half a billion without any accounting of the recipients, perhaps they already have.

                  This seems pretty WTF

                    This actually isn't entirely WTF for anyone familiar with Romania, but it might appear that way from the outside. It's such a Romanian story. In summary (the link is in Romanian), last Frday a gang broke into the head offices of the section of the police that deals with organised crime and nicked all the TVs and everything else they could carry (I say "broke into" but it seems like they just walked in past the policeman guarding the place who was asleep). After this crime had been discovered the police were then called to a disturbance in another area of the city where a group of blokes was fighting with one another - this turned out to be the blokes who had just robbed the organised crime unit, fighting over who should get what.

                      Just seen the Johnson "tim-tams" press conference. Holy fucking shit

                        That Romanian police story is a good one, Ad Hoc. Slovak police seem to have been boringly competent of late, but there'll always be this, from 2010 :

                          Fridges can be good musicians, and my extractor fan has been putting out some fine drones of late. What I love about such sounds is the way they completely change character if you just move your head a bit.

                          Back to WTF, or in this instance What Were You Thinking (directed at the parents and the news editors responsible for the framing of the story):-

                              It seems the spoilsports at the SEC have put a stop to Hertz's bonkers share offering. Which is probably a good thing, in the grand scheme of things, but it has made the markets a bit less fun today.

                                Yeah

                                    Apparently there's a thing on the Internets called "Darren Grimes"
                                    ​​​​​​
                                    And Darren Grimes has a broadcast channel where he has invited Richard Starkey to speak.

                                    At the end of which, he (Grimes) nods in agreement with the fellow of Fitzwilliam College Cambridge

                                              Morrison's have helpfully labelled Rocket as vegan, I mean as a vegan I welcome the labelling of food and drinks but this seems to be a touch unnecessary

                                                  Wow, very strong start but it's worth clicking through as the rest of that thread is even more batshit.
