1. ZDF (public TV, Channel 2) ran a news segment last night entitled "Tax Heaven Germany?".
Basically, it was a news piece to explain tax credit 'tricks' of the super-rich, and why they come to Germany. Somewhere in the short segment, they inserted a picture of FDP's 'boss'....Lindner. I didn't see the necessity of this....it was simply a quote from him about how the laws work. But it was done in a negative way, and he's now openly criticized Channel 2 over the way they constructed the news piece.
I'll just say....ultra-rich invest money into Germany on a 'feel-good' situation....that they are developers of technology and usually avoid recession.
2. Another German tour agency folds up....'We-Fly'. They figure as the bankruptcy papers are filed on Monday....1,500 Germans are on some tour package of theirs, and 'screwed'.
3. On the Caren Miosga public forum show last night (one of the top three forum shows), via ARD (Channel 1)....they interviewed Green Party candidate Habeck. The only quote worth remembering....Habeck said some point....'if you go by the CDU strategy, people in Germany will be poorer.'
I sat in on a dinner last night with two other Germans, with open criticism of the Green Party and their economic plans.
4. The Federal Office for Civil Protection.....for Germany, has released a strategy/plan for recreating the nation's bunker plan.
After the 'Cold War' ended.....there was a lot of dismantling, and they now realize they need to rebuild.
I'll just say it....there's no money.
5. 43-year old daughter goes to visit 'dad' at a nursing home in Berlin (age 75). There's some argument there, and dad pulls out a machete...to attack the daughter.
She's cut pretty badly.....but survives. Questions have arisen how he got a machete. Will be charged with assault.
