1. Apparently, over the weekend....French hackers remotely defrosted refrigerators at several hundred French supermarkets. Lot of lost food.....spoiled crap.
2. AfD Party in Baden-Wuerttemberg....tasked the state to provide data...on child marriages. Apparently, there are a fair number reported (not a German thing).
Reading over the piece....there's at least eight child marriages that were legally annulled (past 7 years). Then there's 350-odd additional cases....going back to 2012)....which HAVE NOT been annulled.
One case (example).....11-year old Iraqi girl....hooked-up to a 17-year old Iraqi boy.
If I read the piece correctly...there's two cases where underage Germans were involved.
I'll just say it...not something that Germans support. After age 18...no one can say a word.
3. Interesting discussion off ARD's 'Hard But Fair' public forum show....talking over the coalition mess in the Bundestag. Because of the numbers for AfD....the CDU-CSU and SPD folks are forced into a partnership which can't really function long-term. So the guest spoke up to the idea of a minority government. Germany had this in the late 1920s....marginally functional during that attempt.
4. Gov't suggestion....tax on AI revenues. If you make a profit....in whatever manner you cut costs....you'd have to pay a tax.
5. Porsche lining up to lay off 8,000 employees, and dump half of all management positions.
