Three German News Stories

 1.  INSA did a political poll in Bavaria over the upcoming election (really an update).  With this Alwanger-FW Party-scandal stuff brewing....they felt something would 'give'.

Well....the FW Party bumped UP four....meaning they are now in second place for sure (14 percent of the public said they'd vote for them).  CSU would win, and the SPD/Greens would all find behind the FW Party. 

I suspect it's a bit shocking to some people.

2.  Covid vax in the future?  Well, there's some type of binding EU contract being worked....so there won't be a German contract (so they say).  Pharmacy operators are saying that it'll hinder 'customers' from coming in and getting the vax (knowing that it's the EU behind the deal instead of Germany itself).

3.  Vanmoof was considered the Cadillac of bicycles in Germany.  Dutch company has now gone bankrupt.  From what the news says.....new owner coming in and company will evolve.  Been around since 2009.
