1. In June, nationally across Germany....if you are a asylum-player....you will get your monthly 'allowance' by a chipped money-card....meaning you have to swipe at the grocery to use your funds.
Whether this will influence or change the attitude of asylum folks to leave and find a better country? Unknown.
Test phase in Germany has proven over half of the folks who were getting payments into a bank account (cash use)....absolutely did not want the money-card.
2. Some odd arctic front moving into Germany in about two weeks....bringing more snow.
3. New poll done....three parties at less-than-5-percent: Linke, BSW, FDP and Free Voters. If a federal election were held....none would hold seats in the Bundestag.
4. 25,000 airport employees around Germany to strike on Thursday. Just guessing.....most all flights likely to be cancelled.
5. German Health Ministry has come out and said 'NO', it will not pay for weight-loss gimmick with the new injection method.
6. TV show on ZDF for 19 years...'The Public Prosecutor'....to finally end. Star on the show is turning 74, and has said 'enough'. Series set in Wiesbaden.
7. The EU has come out and said that there will be language-and-gender rules in the future (regulation is coming).
So the words which they are aiming to forbid? 'No man's land' is among the listed. I asked my German wife on this, and there is a translation in German for the phrase....but she kinda admitted....maybe in her entire life, she's used that term twice.
Success for the EU in regulating German? Good luck buddy....if the Duden people say 'no', then this is a wasted effort.
8. WELT says that the vast number of ATM blow-up situations across Germany....generally ALL lead back to the Netherlands. At least the German police are now saying this. Organized crime unit? It would appear so.
9. WELT had a health report....coming from a Brit research team....suggesting that it's possible that Alzheimer's....might be transmittable. That will scare the crap out of people....if proven true.
Amount in the pot to be spent? 6.5-billion Euro.
If this continues and dissolves....yeah, there's a serious shortage of natural gas in Germany for next winter.
11. Farmers to be blocking traffic on Wednesday...in another demonstration effort.
12. South of the river in Frankfurt last night (Tuesday)....some guy went nuts on the street and was attacking people. Police were called. They arrived and attempted to calm the guy down....things went 'south', and they ended up shooting the guy as he rushed them. Died on the way to the hospital. No motivation noted. Just guessing but likely to be some drugged-up situation.
