1. German Attorney General/Justice Minister....says he wants various housing mandates/regulations reformed/lessened.....to help speed up housing construction.
2. Lightning strike in the Saarland yesterday.....youth camp tent....authorities says around 38 injured. Odd thing....it struck twice.
24 hours later....four of the wounded are in pretty fragile condition.
3. Odd political stance noticed recently....two particular political parties have taken up a anti-US stance (AfD, the right-wing folks....and BSW, the newly created left-wing party).
If you asked me about vote counts for next year's national election....between the two parties....they likely will take 25-percent combined. But no real connection between the two....other than this anti-US stance.
4. German N-TV did a pretty fair and insightful segment on Prince Reuss (under pretty serious charges) and the "Reich citizen network".....suggesting that the “Reichsbürger” crowd are deep into conspiracy theories, and not that mentally balanced.
I don't think Prince Reuss will ever be leaving jail.
I probably came to that level of thought about two to three years ago over the Reichsbürger folks. At some point in their planning for a coup....they actually believed once they remove the Chancellor.....that the German military would agree to come under their 'rule'.
5. Watched a business segment on N-TV.....they had the president of the employers' association Gesamtmetall give a interview. He says it's now possible that "deindustrialization" is about to start in Germany. Job losses? Well...he hints of possibly 50,000 jobs 'lost'.
