Five German News Stories

 1.  Court case starts in Koblenz today....over five guys who attempted a coup in Germany (2022).  They actually were planning power-shutdowns and replacement of the Berlin leadership.

2.  Some study was done....showing roughly one out of four German kids at the 4th grade level....can't read at that level (aren't even taking into account Covid issues).

3.  Some German research team assembled a study on police and violence....had over 3,000 participants.....pretty wide view on the police use of violence.

I will just offer this advice.....if you are in a public situation, and police make a request to refrain or conduct yourself in some manner....if you can't comply....what comes next is on your fault.  

4. Next couple of weeks.....the new heat-pump law will be openly debated in the Bundestag.  Selling this to the public might be biggest issue.  

5.  Warning given in Germany this AM....orange juice prices likely to soar....poor crop delivery.  Some suggestion of 25-percent rise.
