1. Last night, ZDF (public TV, Channel 2) ran a good documentary piece....but on fairly late (after 10 PM).
Title? "On the pulse with Christian Sievers - standstill and obsession with rules - is Germany wasting the future?"
44 minute piece....which talked a good bit about all these construction projects in Germany, which are weighed down by regulation and bickering....taking years and years to accomplish.
Yeah, there are things they readily accomplished in the 1970s in record time, and today....you could attempt the same project and instead of 18 months.....it'd be five to seven years...at double or triple what the project should cost.
2. There are now 142 court cases pending on the Last Generation activists.
3. A town in Saxony-Anhalt has generated a harsh letter to the Chancellor.....the Mayor and city council say that they've reached their limit on taking in more migrants. Issue? They are mostly all SPD Party members, and the letter is addressed to Scholtz (the SPD Chancellor).
4. Fire on that freighter (off German/Dutch coast) still continuing. Lot of fear that the ship might sink now. On major disaster scale....if it sinks? I'd rate this as a 'five' on a scale of one-to-five.
5. Berlin is apparently investigating around 100 regional drivers for issues in dealing with Last Generation activist blockades. Yeah, the word 'violence' was used, and some of the drivers might be losing their license for a while. All this is doing....is generating more public resentment of the environmental group.
6. RBB (public TV for Berlin) talked a bit over more tent-cities to be built....to handle refugee numbers in the city.
