1. ARD news this AM.....had a piece and talked about ongoing conversations within the postal system. Chief topic? To cut cost.....Monday delivery to be tossed.
It would appear that the Post would open on a Monday....just to take in mail....no deliveries.
Odds of this happening? Ten years ago....1-percent chance. I think presently, the Germans are pretty serious about this, and it's pinging near 50-percent.
2. Heat-pump law advancing? Well...yes and no. They are still talking and the idea was that they'd pass something prior to the summer break.
The fact that more than half the nation is skeptical about the discussions? Yeah, this is now a major problem.
The fact that wood chips would be outlawed (in the mix now)? Most people have brought up in Bavaria that a fair number of homes are augmented by a natural gas and wood chip/pellet system. Things seem pretty unsure at this point about how the law will read.
3. ARD ran a piece yesterday....over the entire nation now...for the summer period, they are missing 3,000 lifeguards at present.
Part of this is a lack of the lifeguard certificate. Other issue...for the whole summer, for the part-time job....your max take-home is around 2,200 Euro.
Personally? Another odd part is that the job has now taken up what you'd consider police-duty.....as bad-boy activities now erupt a good bit at public pools.
What I expect by summer of 2024? Rates for pool use will go up (I'm guessing 40-percent), and the lifeguards will see a 25-percent pay increase for next summer.
