4 March 2024: Nine German News Stories

 1.  Lot of hype in Berlin....major police operations underway....searching for the two Red Army Faction guys.  Just absolute belief that the two remaining mystery guys....live in the city.

2.  WELT had a piece yesterday talking over both the German federal government and state governments....pushing back against gender language in schools, universities and administrations. 

Politically, it's hard to find any party in Germany pushing FOR gender positions presently.  

3.  I watched a piece off N-TV news....Kebab shops....usually known in the past decade as a place where you could get lunch for five Euro....are now approaching ten Euro in the price scheme.

4.  Lot of chatter from CDU/CSU Parties over the approaching legalization of Cannabis (1 April).  Some momentum building up.  It's possible that the law will be hindered/stopped in several German states.

5.  Lot of hype from state of Hessen....of syphilis cases over past year.  

6.  Interesting story from RBB (Berlin public news)....over what was believed for decades....the last wolf shot in Germany (1904).  Worth a read.  For a number of years prior....this animal was believed to be (by locals) a tiger.

7.  304 Germans officially missing from the state of the Pfalz (official police records from 2023).

8.  Bingen (Pfalz) train station called the cops.  They say around 100 tons of rails stole from the stock in their supply area.

9.  Bosch CEO says the replacement of gas/diesel cars....with E-cars, will take 35 years minimum.  

Personally, I see hydrogen cars starting to be accepted by 2030, and most Germans going that path by 2040.  E-cars....will never reach more than one-quarter of the nation.
