Q-and-A

 1.  Will German outdoor pools close early this summer?

Well....rumor chatter has started up that if your outdoor pool had some heating element (with natural gas usage)....then an order will probably come down by the state governments to shut down early....maybe early August....maybe mid-August.  Most would be closed by mid-September or the week prior, if this were a normal year. 

2.  Big hyped-up EU meeting over the natural gas crisis for Tuesday?

Yes, but the draft has a number of countries peeved, and I'd say that the text will not be approved in mass.....meaning NO clear EU joint policy.  

3.  Part of the Anne Will public forum (9:45 PM, ARD) for last night (topic: the natural gas crisis) was to decide upon who screwed up to trigger this.  Did this go well?

NO.  This had to eventually reach the stage of deciding how fu*ked-up this is, and who is to blame.....with this leading back to the 1970s and the SPD Party connection back to the Soviet Union and trade.

As much as the journalists wanted to assign blame.....they themselves helped to avoid discussions in the 1970s, and 1980s.  

It's best to avoid these discussions because they have no value.

4.  What's this hype from the German Bureau of Statistics this morning?

Well....if you go looking for 'young people in Germany between 15 and 24....we are at the lowest percent of society....ever.  And then, you ask....can this improve?  No....presently, the trend will continue.

5.  More problems in air travel coming?

Wednesday morning....Lufthansa folks are saying a strike will occur.  You can expect a lot of flight cancellations to occur around Germany.
