1. Focus piece this AM...German natural gas reserve....in a very low level. If this were a serious winter....we'd probably in serious trouble by March. You can read the piece here.
2. WELT piece by Lennart Pfahler, suggests the Linke Party is looking for a policy which would sell easily to social groups with a Islamic background.
3. One of the things to occur in 2026....the EU directive on the "right to repair" is expected to be finalized by July. Once implemented....manufacturers will be required to keep spare parts for their products available for at least seven years. In the EU way of thinking....the companies are to be incentivized to offer more durable products, which should significantly reduce electronic waste. Whether this occurs or not....unknown. One would think prices would have to escalate 10-to-20 percent to cover this warehouse/parts cost. To be honest, if a dryer crapped-out by the fifth year....transporting it and getting the problem resolved....would just invite more hassle/stress.
4. Fireworks on sale this AM....the rush is on.
