1. Covid possibly returning to Germany?
Well....if you follow health news, there is some notice of this. However, as much destruction to the German economy noted in 2020/2021/2022....I doubt if you see any suggestion of another harsh 'rule' era. Even to suggest serious vax mandates....I'd say one out of four Germans who did vax-up in the past....aren't that enthusiastic about this anymore.
2. This town-hall like meeting with Chancellor Scholz from this week?
Look....Scholz is trying hard to present himself as the 'total-package', and he's lousy at selling his brand or solutions to the public. But this is who the public wanted from the fall 2021 election....so just accept the limits and wait for the 2025 election.
3. Odds of the Linke Party dissolving?
Over the summer of 2023....I'd say it's pretty close to a 70-percent chance that the Linke Party has to evolve into something else, or just fall apart. Presently, their looks for the Hessen/Bavaria state elections? Pretty lousy.
4. If you are intending to travel for your summer vacation in Germany....by train....be aware that it's awful crowded because of the 49-Euro ticket business. I'd wait till mid-September to do any railway trip.
5. FC Bayern Munich team upgrade with Harry Kane arriving? Well....they believe this.
6. Some weird suggestion came up from the German Green Party today....to mandate or volunteer the German police.....to patrol the Med and save migrants. I just don't think the police will volunteer for the job, or accept the job if ordered.
7. WELT wrote up a piece today about how some Germans feel their work/office/function.....is more or less....a bull-shit job. Curious way it was written, and obviously the writer had talked to a number of Germans who feel this way.
My German wife has curiously made this type of comment over the work in her office. She has the function of answering questions from consumers about the product, and often whines about the stupidity-level of people....needing answers.
8. Curious economic piece off WELT today....half of all 15-to-24 year olds in Germany....can't make enough money to survive on their own.
