1. Curious note, they figured up the estimate for 2024 tax income for Germany....it's to be near 916-billion Euro collected (all-time record). Generally speaking, it still won't be enough to cover the 2025 federal/state budget.
2. I essayed last week about the German company....Miele....making a decision to move the company manufacturing unit to Poland. Chief reason? Energy cost was heavily cited (the Poles still use a fair amount of coal energy).
Focus article discussed at length....Miele isn't the only German company looking at Poland as an option.
This energy discussion is going to consume a fair amount of political time in 2024....as political groups debate how to lessen the energy cost.
3. I was watching a N-TV 'talk' on German trains running on-time. The worst area for unpunctual railway operations? The Rhine-Ruhr area (near 15-percent being behind schedule), and the Rhine-Neckar region pretty near that statistic.
Best regions for on-time trains? Berlin and Hamburg.
4. Rheinmetal is about to build a new factory in the Saxony region....to produce artillery shells. They expect a ton of business once complete.
5. I watched N-TV news this AM.....some foundation had done research and reached a conclusion that one in five Germans are saying they are near burnout at their job. Pretty fair number. If I asked my wife over her job....she'd probably say it's near four out of five in a state of nearing burnout.
