1. I was reading over Russia economy stuff this AM....discovered that some type of grocery 'voucher' system is about to be implemented....so that regular low-income Russians can buy food. Yeah, it's a bad sign of the downward spiral.
2. Couple of days ago....German-Turk family were visiting Istanbul. Health problems popped up. Both kids die....mother dies later....father still in bad shape. Another couple....same hotel...reports issues. This AM....police say some type of chemical contamination occurred in the hotel to trigger all of this.
3. Opinion poll done....slightly more than half of Germans polled....say they have a fear of safety problem with their local Christmas market.
4. Property development going on here in Hessen (my state). "Jungeli" is planning an amusement park with a camping resort on approximately 100,000 square meters. Centerpiece will be a domed building called the "Atrium Saurus."
Some type of a "tropical rainforest experience with atmospheric lighting and gentle mist" inside.
Like a Jurassic Park theme.
Curious thing....this property was formerly a red-light hotel complex, with hookers, in the Messel area (near Darmstadt).
5. The past week, the coalition decided the air-travel tax would be gutted in 2026....but the SPD now wants a tax to affect only business-class/1st-class travelers to replace it.
6. Watching N-TV this AM....some expert says by 2047....most buses in Germany will be driver-less. He claimed costs will lessen.
7. If you have a E-smoke device with a screen (new trend)....that will be considered a driving violation if noted driving and smoking....German law.
