Four German News Stories

 1.  WELT did a poll with the German public....asking if Scholz is overwhelmed in the job of Chancellor.  55-percent of Germans said yes.  Not that it really changes much of anything....but it's public perception.

2. N-TV had a short segment report this AM....talking about rifles delivered to the Ukraine in the past couple of months for the war....which now seem to be showing in some small numbers with the criminal element in Finland.  

3.  Several business sources are talking to the subject that two out of three restaurants/cafes/pubs in Germany are preparing insolvency paperwork for bankruptcy.  Between Covid, the recession, declining customer base, and heating cost....there's some rough times coming shortly.

4.  The FDP Party is pushing for a new view of fracking (forbidden in Germany for almost six year now).  Probably won't go anywhere presently (neither the SPD or Greens support changing things).
