Five German News Stories

 1.  World Cup started yesterday in Qatar.  Public TV in Germany featured the game and a lot of commentary. Stadium?  Well....based on the clip they aired, I'd say it was about 50-percent full (unusual for a opening game).  

2.  This hype in Germany about a lack of meat starting to occur in late spring 2023?  It's a realistic prediction....which all leads back to the high cost of natural gas.  If you want to fertilize your hay or grain fields, for the cattle or swine....you need natural gas.  With prices double and sometimes triple....farmers going to cut back on production.  

Even if you find pork in the grocery freezer....it'll probably be 50-to-100 percent higher than today.

3.  Anne Will public chat program from last night....topic?  'Last Generation' protest kids.

The German chief prosecutor said it in a blunt way......state and city governments are not making an effort to fully prosecute absolute violations of law....breaking their commitment to the Basic Law (the Constitution).

4.  German gov't admitted that this quickly erected LNG (liquid natural gas) terminal business...now complete....has cost 50-perccent more (figured this past weekend at a cost of 6 billion Euro).  

5.  Germany has worked up some deal for a massive energy project out of Morocco.  The chatty part of this....import of clean green energy.....having to travel across Spain and France....to reach Germany.
