Three Interesting Things

 1.  I noticed this today via WELT....that 1.7 million people are getting a German pension outside of Germany.  Some are non-Germans, but WELT says it's an increasing number of German folks....who have left the country and live beyond the border.

Cost of living issue?  Yeah, I would imagine each of them will say that.

2.  Two German guys who were in prison (doing physical labor there) sued the German government claiming that the 2-Euro an hour income....was unfair.  Court today?  It agreed.  

What the wage should be?  They declined to 'guess' that.  It'll have to be done via a study and I'm guessing whatever the national minimum wage is....will be the set level in the future.

3.  Population going up?  As of today, Germany says 84.4-million people reside in the country.....roughly .1-percent up over last year.
