1. The Bundesbank of Germany says that they were estimating on the low side about how many counterfeit 200 and 500 Euro bills are floating around the country.
In their updated statement yesterday....they used the 'significantly more' comment.
To be honest.....I've never held a 500 Euro bill ever, and it's been 15 years since I held a 200 Euro bill. They stopped production of the 500 Euro bill in 2019 (mostly to lessen counterfeiting).
2. There's around 163,000 Germans who retired in the GDR era (prior to 1990, East Germany), who are in serious economic times, and have applied for gov't relief.
3. Last Generation activists made a statement yesterday....saying glue-episodes on streets are ended. 2024 strategy will be 'disobedience'. They hope to get crowds to gather and fall under their umbrella. I have no idea what disobedience might involve.
4. New format for ARD's public forum show (Monday evening)....'Hart Aber Fair'. Topic for the forum? "Anger, protests, new parties: who still holds our country together?"
So they brought on Sahra Wagenknecht (new party boss of BSW) along with a representative from both the SPD, and CDU.
Then as a guest, they brought out a hairdresser, who seemed pretty bright and condemned continuing political bickering and marginal achievements.
On entertaining....yeah, renovation efforts for the show might have improved. The hairdresser was right on 'dumping' on the politicians.
5. Finally, via the Jungle-Camp show on RTL....yeah, I do watch it....they tossed out the retired German soccer player. His parting comment to the remaining crew....you guys are showing too much butt.
The show always has a lot of bickering and insults. This year...there's at least four females who've gone to giving a fair amount of 'view'.
