4 Apr 2024: Four German News Stories

1.  Just odd weather......prediction for this weekend in my central region of Germany?  Sunshine.....27 C (81 F).  Other parts of Germany, there's talk of 30 C (86 F)....with severe thunderstorms being talked about.  Winter has been extremely moderate.  

2.  The VW board of directors came out and said that if there is any hint of returning to the gas/diesel engines....their game-plan and profitability will suffer.  They want everyone to continue down the E-car path.

I'll just say that the peak (I believe) has been reached, and the bulk (more than two-thirds of Germany) has zero interest in E-cars....even if you mandate it.

3.  Long piece on N-TV news yesterday....chatting over student councils in the eastern part of Germany....dealing with an increase involving right-wing extremism.  

In some ways....the effort to 'preach' about guilty feelings and the holocaust.....has come to affect students in not taking the mandated classes serious and marginal willingness to follow the agenda of the past seventy-odd years.   

4.  The Green Party Federal Family Minister wants to create 5,000 additional administrative positions to ensure basic child safety/security throughout all of Germany. Money in the budget?  Not really.
