1. I noticed this AM....EU chatter over the idea that they believe (the EU itself) that regulations need to be addressed with Artificial Intelligence (AI).
Just a humble feeling....but if you asked AI about this....it'd probably respond that it's already working on a way to regulate the EU itself.
2. What came off the Anne Will public forum show last night? Climate chatter....mostly over coalition goals, housing renovation and the heat-pump talks. At some point, the CDU guest (Spahn) noted that the people pushing the agendas....don't seem to relate or connect to regular working-class people and the financial cost of what is being pushed.
He has a point...but German journalists have failed miserably in going out and looking at various homes....to reflect upon a true cost estimate.
My suggestion...if you wanted to impact folks....pick out one single village with 200 homes (rural setting) and run a dozen experts through to announce the true cost to the entire village. Then the Greens and SPD folks would shut up.
If you really wanted to hype up renovation or heat-pumps....just dissolve the VAT tax deal for a five-year period.
3. N-TV piece this AM on German ice cream. They brought up the fact that in the 1980s....a scoop of ice cream was 30 pfennigs (15 US cents). In Munich today....that same one scoop....would be 2 Euro ($2.20).
I was at a cafe in Wiesbaden yesterday that offered up a plate of pancakes. Price? $15.50 roughly. If you wanted the extra premium Canadian syrup? That's another 3 Euro.
