A 'Bonus'?

 There's talk going around Bundestag and hyped to a small degree via the news media of a 'fund' that will be created to help regular Germans during the increasing cost for heat.

How much?  It's not clear....most people are talking about a 200-Euro per household, but there's some talk it'd depend on the number of people in the home.

Would it just come to you as a check?  Well....that's a discussion as well....they want to avoid handing you the cash.  

What's it to be called?  Amusingly enough.....a C02 'bonus'.

Is this 200 Euro enough?  Maybe for a smaller 40 to 60 square meter place....yeah.  

All of this begs the question....what happens for the 2nd half of 2022, for gas, natural gas and electricity?

Last night, I watched a German show that talked over grocery prices....comparing 2012 to 2022.  That was rather shocking to view the 10-year trend, and just makes me wonder about 2032.
