Minding their Business

News reports on business channels are always very focused on their business. 

Mainstream: "Russia has a 100 THOUSAND troops ready to go!!!" 

Business: "should we be more worried about inflation or Russia today?"

So are kids. Back when USA gave that submarine deal to Australia, and France was PISSED at the USA for torpedoing their deal with Australia:

Mainstream: "France recalls US ambassador, this is the MOST SIGNIFICANT peacetime warning a country can give another!!"

Our kids: "does this mean there won't be any more Macarons at Costco?" 

Electric Gas Stations

 Another day, another TV reporter talking about electric cars. It’s usually the same pattern. Go in a couple cars, marvel at the technology, exclaim how smooth the ride is or how fast it accelerates and then go to a charging station and lament how slow it fills up. Then compare the number of gas stations to the charging network. 

They usually skip the one crucial factor: everyone who has a house essentially has a ‘gas station’ at home and are leaving the house with a full tank every morning! So we don’t need an equivalent network of charging stations!
