Ten Realities I've Come To Believe In 2022

 1.  Probably a quarter of the German adult population probably can't handle social media of any type and should be forbidden access.  Some are university educated, and some are politicians.  

2.  Probably 5-percent of the American population have no idea who Hitler was, or anything of the Nazi Party.

3.  There's probably only 5-percent of the Brit population who've never been completely sober or non-drunk over their entire life.

4.  The vast majority of Germans believe their national soccer team is truly unbeatable.  

5.  Probably over one-third of regular daily Bahn (railway) riders have a 50-50 view if they will arrive at work on time....on any given day.  If you asked the same group about toilets working on the train....fewer than a quarter would believe the train toilet system would be working.  

6.  It's possible that half the German population have never noticed this nutritional rating system on the back of any food product that they've bought at a German grocery.  

7.  I believe that 1-percent of Germany is so worked up and suffering high anxiety over Covid.....that they need serious mental help.

8.  I suspect at any German pub where the discussion comes up over Chancellor Merkel....fewer than a third of the group gathered would give her 'passing' marks on performance.  

9.  I think if you quietly discussed refugees in Germany....away from  the news people, more than half of the German population would say they don't have a problem with female asylum folks (who generally only number one out of twenty on folks entering).

10.  I have this view that if you asked about legalizing cannabis in Germany....in high urban areas like Frankfurt or Hamburg....it'd pass with 60-percent of the public.  But if you asked in towns of 3,000 or less.....fewer than 20-percent would support legalization.
