500 Euro Story

 I noted this morning, watching a segment off N-TV news....there was an economist (not a virus-expert, government official, or party 'boss')....who was discussing the idea of paying Germans to vaccinate. 

The amount? Nora Szech says 500 Euro ought to be the amount laid on the table. Roughly $600 American. 

I sat and pondered over the amount. No one has done a study or poll to suggest that money would make a difference....nor can you say with any factual data....500 Euro is enough (some people might tell you that it has to be triple that amount to get them interested). 

Could kids or teens get into this pay-off business? It'd be worth asking. 

Will this go anywhere? No. I would suggest that the Finazamt will stand in a bold way and say there's no way they'd pay off regular people. They'd also bring up....what do you do when the booster gets to a mandated point....pay another 500 Euro? Or in 2022....a whole second booster....requiring another 500 Euro as well? 

My wife's company came up two weeks ago and said they'd pay their employees around 200 Euro as a bonus, if you vaccinated. Course, we are talking about 15 employees in the business front of it....so it's not a big deal.
