1. I noticed off Focus this morning....some hype over the lack of manpower. German government is saying that 400,000 people are missing from the work-force, and because of this.....immigration has to be 'turned-on' to allow the jobs to be filled.
Current unemployment rate? As of April....5-percent.
2. Curious question thrown at the Chancellor yesterday.....some gal complained over rising parking fees at her hospital job....which is managed/run by the Chancellor's brother. Chancellor responded that he had some agreement with the brother....neither would get on each other's case about decisions made.
Is parking going up? I think most Germans who try to park in some urban area (like Frankfurt or Wiesbaden)....are shocked today over what it costs for four hours of city parking.
3. Thirty-one million Germans are making use of the 9-Euro monthly ticket scheme (we are at the half-way point).
4. I noticed Putin offered ALL Ukrainians a Russian passport....open-door for naturalization.
5. In the midst of some kid's birthday party here in my local town (Wiesbaden)....some guy shows up and threatens all guests with a knife. Parents call the cops....shortly after that, the police arrive, and arrest the guy. Alcohol test? Hefty at 1.9.....probably will end with a month in jail, and some forced alcohol rehab program.
