Just Two Observations

 1.  All this chatter and hype over the long-delayed decision to send tanks to Ukraine...really amounting to 14 Leopard II tanks?  Yes.

I think a number of retired military folks are just laughing over the hype, the crisis-like discussions, and how 14 German-made tanks would contribute to the end of the war.  

Adding to this....then you open up to the idea that on any given morning....like all things German....at least one of the fourteen tanks will be in the garage because a 19-Euro part failed, and you need the services of a certified tank-mechanic (79-Euro per hour).

2.  The newest German discussion is held within medical circles.....should a German doctor perceive his 'client/patient' is mentally or physically not up to driving....report them to the police?

I think this would certainly help to lessen the clinic visits, as older people perceive their doctor to be a threat.  

But realistically....why limit this to doctors?  If Johan, the 8-year old brat next door felt you were mentally unfit....why couldn't he report you to the cops?  Or the bakery lady?  Or your grocery clerk?
