Four German News Stories

 1.  I had to go shopping in Wiesbaden last night (Halloween night).  Lot of American kids going from one mil-housing area to another.  Sat in the car and observed this one kid (probably age 13)....had a medical gown of some type on, and a Covid mask.  Yeah, kinda creative.....probably would freak out some folks.

2.  ARD/ZDF (the public TV  folks) have announced that the roughly 8.5-billion Euro they collect from the media-tax.....is not enough.  They want the monthly fee escalated. 

There is some belief that in early 2025....an escalation will occur.  There's also some political belief that challenges will occur and reform will have to be demonstrated in 2024.

3. Water cannons got dragged out in Berlin last night....violent  street action going  on.

4.  State of NRW had to go and burn 33-million Euro worth of Covid masks.  Shelf-life had been met, and medical requirements were in force.
