Five Blunt Truths In Germany

 1.  Germans are forever whining about politics, promises made, and marginal solutions.  If anyone ever came and really started to deliver....they'd all be in a state of panic ("something ain't right here").

2.  One single cough on a bus, or in a check-out line....is enough to drive people to exit the situation.

3.  No one from the news media wants to admit that the public fascination with Greta or the Fridays-for-the-Future crowd....is evaporating at a hefty rate.

4.  Probably a quarter of all Germans can name ten American politicians or Supreme Court Justices.  Fewer than 1-percent of Americans can name more than three German politicians (with at least one of them dead).  

5.  I suspect....on the national mute-ratio when appearing on TV....the Health Minister (Lauterbach) rates higher than any other political figure.
