1. City of Marburg is to hold a vote (public situation). Idea is to cut in half all car traffic within the city by 2035.
What likely comes if it passes? Most businesses in town will report decreases in revenue/customers, with city tax revenue seriously affected. Trying to recover....they will find that even by dumping the traffic law....customers have found alternate places (outside of Marburg) to give their business to.
But....this is the thing, you need to allow communities to experiment, and prove ideas are smart or harmful.
2. Growing your own cannabis legally (in Germany)? From 1 April on....you can have up to three Cannabis plants in your house.
If you have a fourth plant? You are violating the law, and the cops can confiscate your plant. Could you give the plant to a neighbor or friend (over 18)? Yes.
3. Just an odd story out of Chemnitz. Back on Friday....some German doctor was in a parking garage....having parked his car and going to the stairway. Encounters two 'punks' (Iranian and Syrian kids....13 and 15)....with them demanding money. Doctor says 'no' and moves to just advance....they end up pushing him down a stairway....fair amount of injuries.
It's safe to say he'll be on recuperation for a couple of weeks. Cops got the two young gentlemen, but the most they will probably get is some young detention 'jail' for a year.
4. Someone added up the troop strength of Russia in Ukraine, and they say there's more Russian conscripts in the country.....than the first month of the war.
5. Green Party talking up some idea of hundreds of billions of Euro for infrastructure projects for Germany in the future. Where the money would come from? Unknown.
6. N-TV news had a piece.....suggesting the hyped-up trend of Germany E-Scooters has finally occurred, and on-the-street rentals will drop over the next year.
7. Outgoing 'boss' of NATO (Stoltenberg) says within 2 years....Ukraine will be a member of NATO. Mostly BS....I can see at least two members of NATO being problems to get this done.
8. WELT piece: Germans pay 41-perent more for energy (power, natural gas, oil) than before the 'war'.
9. N-TV item this AM: Fentanyl has finally arrived in Germany and generally noted by the police.
