1. I ended up eating out last night (with wife, son and his GF).....Greek local restaurant. Bill with tip....121 Euro ($130). No, there was no Champaign or alcohol. No steaks. Just a traditional meal that would have cost around 100 Euro back in 2020....inflation affecting things today.
2. WELT piece: German police released data to show that Germans are more likely to be affected by crime against them....by non-Germans.....than non-Germans being affected by crime by Germans.
Probably won't comfort Germans much. But if you'd asked about this five years ago....most people would have already said this trend was underway. I would imagine if you compared highly urbanized areas....it's probably ten times the rate compared to rural communities.
3. WELT piece....study by US foundation that LNG-shipped natural gas....is more harmful to the environment....than coal.
Yeah, that will flip out the German environmental folks.
4. WELT piece....poll done. 59 percent of Germans expect a terror act on German soil to come out of the Hamas-Israel war.
5. Some advancement by Germans on Nord Stream II 'act'. What they tend to lead onto....some Ukrainian special forces officer, with a team.....blew up the pipe. Whether they were on orders or not....unknown. Arresting the guy? Doesn't seem likely at this point. I would imagine the entire investigation will dwindle down now.
6. Coalition gov't is discussing having a 'holiday' for German military members (a sort of veterans day). Date discussed? 12 November....birthday of the Bundeswehr. Likely chance it'll pass? I'd give it near 99-percent.
