Gatchalian adds politicians should lead by shunning convoys in their travels. He says fuel rationing will not be an option if the government secures assurances of sufficient future supply. | Eimor Santos

GATCHALIAN ON POWER SUBSIDIES: ‘KAILANGAN NATIN TULUNGAN ANG PINAKAMAHIHIRAP’ WATCH: Amid complaints over the lifeline rate, or discounts on electricity bills for low-income households being shouldered by consumers, Senator Win Gatchalian said the subsidy is not new and accounts for just 1 centavo out of the 56 centavos in government-mandated charges. “Hindi malaki yung tulong natin sa pinakamahihirap — para lang makatawid sila at mabuhay nang may dangal,” he says. Gatchalian attributed the recent bill shock to an increase in generation charges. He has invited Meralco and the Energy Regulatory Commission to a hearing tomorrow. | Eimor Santos

🔘 DEVELOPING: Brace for major fuel price increases Energy Minister Daryl Vaz is warning Jamaicans to brace for what could be significant fuel price increases amid the instability in the global petroleum industry because of the war in the Middle East. Speaking at this morning's post-Cabinet press briefing, Vaz announced that, effective today, Jamaica's sole oil refinery, Petrojam, will implement a new tiered pricing mechanism. 👨‍💻 As part of the fuel conservation strategy, the government will consider "COVID-type" measures including work from home arrangements. ⛽ In the past four weeks, Petrojam absorbed $1.3 billion in oil price hikes that were not passed on to consumers. 💵 If the price pressures persist up to June 2026, it would cost the government $11.8 billion to absorb the increases.

ELON: THE NOTION OF WORKING FROM HOME IS MORALLY MESSED UP “I'm a big believer that people are more productive when they're in person. There are some exceptions, but I think that the whole notion of work from home is a bit like the fake Marie Antoinette quote, 'Let them eat cake'. You're going to work from home, and you're going to make everyone else who made your car come work in the factory? You're going to make the people who make your food that gets delivered, they can't work from home? The people that come fix your house, they can't work from home, but you can? Does that seem morally right? That's messed up. People should get off their goddamn moral high horse with the work from home bullshit. Because they're asking everyone else to not work from home while they do.” Source: CNBC, May 2023

Pakistan's policy limiting weddings to one course is being re-emphasised – but why? It’s one of the government’s cost-cutting measures as Pakistan struggles with the fallout of war in the Middle East. Closing down schools, a four-day workweek for some, and slashing salaries of top government officials are also on the list. Last week, the price of fuel in Pakistan saw its biggest rise on record. The panic buying got so out of hand, an employee at a petrol station was shot dead. Now Pakistan’s navy has launched a maritime security operation to protect supplies of energy it’s importing. Pakistanis are hoping these measures will provide some relief for an economy that’s already struggling.
