1. Some estimate given now (Green Party) on how much poverty kids in Germany might get under the new program....to ensure they weren't in some poverty class. Amount? Runs from 530 Euro for a young kid....up to 636 Euro for a teenager....per month.
How they'd go out and spend it? Anyone's guess. I don't get the impression that a lot of thought has been put into this idea.
Enough support to pass? No one seems that sure.
2. Weather guys are suggesting a brief return to summer temperatures this weekend. For my area.....maybe up to 27 C (81 F). For me, I don't consider that warm.
3. Interesting article in WELT this AM....Alan Posner wrote a piece to suggest it's time to pick up privatization of German schools.
It's also next to another WELT piece going over 'alarming findings' chatter where test scores are down, and integration issues are discussed.
4. Major accident on the A2 up around Hannover. About a 1-km area is closed off, and probably won't re-open until Saturday. Other side of the autobahn (toward Berlin) is open and flowing.
5. Paris city gov't has issued an order.....'enough' with the e-scooter accidents. They are forbidding them in the city....saying too many injuries and accidents.
