1. Focus item this morning....there's a listing of bridges throughout Germany that require renovation/replacement. A group that monitors it....says by 2026....it's an average of 400 which must be attended to....yearly.
Well....the gov't has cut the budget, so they won't meet the 400-number. Warning is going out....sooner or later, some bridge will have problems and be completely shut-down.
Within my region....there are three bridges which came up 'suddenly'.....needing repairs, and were shutdown. Massive issues for public (one took almost 4 years of shutdown to reach replacement status).
2. Locals in Frankfurt shocked....Denmark-UK soccer game ended, and Brits were entirely 'peaceful'.
3. German states are pushing for mandated flood-insurance. Presently, only about one in two homes buy it.
Me? Well....we live on a hillside....about 60 meters from the bottom of the hill. I can't imagine the amount of rain required to make me worried over flooding.
4. Postbank....cutting 1,000 positions. Used to be a highly popular bank....today less so.
