22 Sep 2024: Four German News Stories

 1.  How big is this Brandenburg state election today?  Well....it would really help the SPD...if they came out ahead of AfD (not expected).  Major topic on the minds of most residents of that state?  Crime, migration, lack of deportation.

Other topic brewing?  FW-Party is hitting a lot on media an might get to 5-percent, which is a big deal for them.

2.  Oktoberfest price shock?  15 Euro for premium beer in the 1-liter stein.

3.  There are 320 new city abbreviations being created for car-tags.  For example, Flörsheim am Main gets its own tag now....FM.  If you wanted to flip over to your local town's lettering?  10 Euro.  ID?  New for Idstein (in my region).

4.  Lot of indicators of a 'gang-war' starting up in Koln.  Even locals are starting to be concerned. Two explosive events in the past month.
