It's a good point about Jellyfish making sure this news makes it into SCMP. I was kind of surprised to see it in there, because what's the story? It's such a useless and meaningless allowance, how is that newsworthy?
I can only assume that's the reason they created this allowance. Just to woo the wider public and create the public dialouge that all is well on the Titanic. Its such a theoretical payment, it's like who cares. It does nothing to fix any problems with the variability of POS18.
When Jellyfish is in the video explaining it (with he little background music this time, nice touch) I do really wonder if they actually belive this solves people's problems with the lack of foresight on pay with POS18. If that's the case, well then they are even stupider than I thought.
