1. Some hype going on with the German train networks.....they expect to lose a fair amount of money with this 9-Euro a month 'free' local/regional train ticket....so they've told the Federal government to haul out more cash. Well....they aren't that agreeable. Some people think this gimmick will fall apart in the next month as the federal government doesn't have the cash to cover this 'thing'.
2. Focus had a piece this morning talking about this new Russian offensive, and suggesting it might be the last offensive....because of the trend of losing tanks/APCs each day. My question would be....just how long can the Russians maintain this offensive with manpower and the average losses per day? It's hard to see this going past July. Plus you have to discuss the generals being killed....roughly one each week.
3. No shocker on Macron win in France.....18-point lead as the election finished up. Le Pen simply doesn't have the 'brand' to sell, and it's time that she moved on and let someone give it a try for her party.
4. I drove approximately 160 km north of Frankfurt yesterday. I'll make this statement....the speed limit from unlimited to 120, to 100, to 80 (construction zone) on a continual basis. I'll bet I had at least forty speed changes in this 110-minute ride. You continually have to pay attention if you want to avoid tickets.
5. There's some hype brewing over residential parking in highly urbanized cities (Berlin for example), and folks are suggesting a 'permit' costing you in the 360 Euro range (ridiculous fee to be just parking on the street).
