1. Yesterday, some association connected to German roads....came out and advocated for a national autobahn toll system....saying there's not enough money to keep them in 1st-class condition.
I spoke to my German wife on the issue....who went ballistic. They already collect gas taxes for this, along with registration fees was her response.
2. Just a lot of chatter (social media) over the Chancellor being cancelled-out by his own party (SPD). Yes, the party itself could hold a no-confidence vote, and ease him out rather quickly. But I doubt they have the guts to do that.
I'll just say....from a public prospective....very negative public attitude about the collapsing gov't. Lot of people just want Scholz gone...ASAP.
3. 'Heavy' snowfall projected for next week (Koln to Berlin)....starting Tuesday. National storm. Related to a approaching hurricane from the Atlantic.
4. Some chatter now....Germans don't want the normal voting day to be in Feb (for the future elections). Except for the mid-1990s fed election....it's typically always in the Sep/Oct timeframe. My guess is that the parties will agree after this election....to postpone the next election (2029) until May/June.
