Sometimes you see a news article that grabs your attention mainly because it makes a statement where you say wait, what? “I don’t get it.” Much of these are political, but luckily, there are still some left for this thread
I read an article about the FDA’s having different regulations for red dye No. 3, not allowed in cosmetics but allowed in food. That made no sense. Sometimes there are good reasons for seemingly weird news since you just don’t have enough information or background about it. The FDA has different divisions, e.g., cosmetics and food, and that seems to be the root cause of the issue See https://www.consumerreports.org/hea...metics-but-still-allowed-in-food-a3467381365/
Recently Elon Musk disbanded the Supercharger department of Tesla. OK but why, isn’t the Supercharger system the gold standard for EV charging? Musk says that he did this because he wants to concentrate on reliability, and expand existing facilities but expand the network more slowly. But why the whole department?
