1. Cash freeze for the German gov't? Well....the German Finance Ministry sent out a note to all levels of the gov't and basically said....if you signed contracts for cash to be spent...ok. But from this moment on....you can't spend funding.
Yeah, its the harsh reality of this Constitutional Court episode from last week. I would imagine there's a lot of chatter going on, and crisis-talk is the topic of the day.
2. Up in Wuppertal (NW Germany).....two teenage boys ran for a period....a prostitution ring with six girls (ages of 14 mostly). Organization was named 'Gucci Gang'. Cops are unraveling the whole deal.....no forced participation. Likely to be openly discussed.
3. Storefront 'Real' used to be a major chain in Germany. In the past two years....a lot of the operations were sold off (financial woes). Yesterday, they announced whatever remains....will be closed by end of March 2024.
Used to be one of my favorite stores.
4. I was in Wiesbaden yesterday (mid-town and the train station). Approached by four homeless people for hand-outs (all four were Germans). Druggies? Well....yeah, I got that impression.
