1. Lot of turmoil predicted for today (Monday).....all railway services are shutdown until Tuesday AM. Strike. Most German airports are closed, with flights cancelled.
One curious statement by WELT this AM.....the strike proves that you need to maintain a car....that we cannot move into a public transportation only lifestyle.
2. From Sunday, lot of bad weather over my region of Hessen. A tornado was seen in the Giessen area, with damage to houses.
3. Anne Will public forum show via ARD last night? It covered the topic of life as we advance to phasing out fossil energy. To make it short and blunt....there's a whole lot of cost in the consequences, and this was laid out by the one scientist in the group of 'guests'.
4. Berlin (the city) had a referendum vote yesterday (Sunday)....on the topic of making firm (some would say harsh) climate change goals. The 'yes, do it' crowd did get 51-percent of the vote....however, they required a minimum of 150,000 additional votes to make this a legit vote. So, the vote was useless, and no goals are set.
5. WELT noted the 2022 German crime numbers came out last week, with a significant increase in knife attacks for the nation (total of 8,160 for the year).
