1. It's just strange...virtually every grocery in my region (central Germany) has spring plants up for sale....maybe for 3 weeks now. We haven't even reached the last day of February yet. Hasn't been a freezing temperature in at least eight weeks.
Oddly enough, Bavarian state health authorities put out a warning.....ticks are now in season and a threat (yes, even in this mild winter).
2. The EU says they are busy designing E-box rules for how home charging stations will be regulated or mandated in the future. I would imagine....by 2030....virtually every house will have to have such a box....even if they don't have an E-Car.
3. In Munich back in early 2021....some Austrian investor guy came up to some buildings (Sendling region) and bought them up. He went to the commercial folks renting these and gave them eviction notices...cafes, bars, etc. Game plan, as they left....he'd tear them down and build luxury condos.
Well.....as Focus told the story today....the guy has up and disappeared. The commercial companies with the eviction notices? They are asking questions and none of the authorities have any idea where this guy is.
Some people believe that the luxury condo prices that this guy dreamed of....back 6 to 8 years ago...currently don't exist, so there might not be any profit...even if they tore stuff down and erected a whole new structure.
4. NTV poll.....AfD lost another point, now down to 17-percent. CDU/CSU still leads....30-percent. SPD in 3rd place with 15-percent.
5. About a month ago in Wiesbaden....several groups of students in some vocational program (meaning they are in the 15 to 18 year old range)....were herded into a theater...with 3 teachers, to watch a film called "Wannsee Conference".
For reference, it's a 2022 docu-drama, that explains out the meeting held in early 1942...in the suburbs of Berlin, where Nazi leadership discussed what they would do with the Jews.
I should add two curious things about this conference. First, it was scheduled and cancelled at least twice, because of ongoing war events. Second, the entire conference took approximately 90 minutes. If you were to go and dig through the whole agenda and the output (a conference document)....it would almost seem that having 15 ranking members of the government was not necessary, and that the document was almost certainly pre-written....to say that everyone in the group agreed to what the 'boss' of the meeting wanted to achieve (end of the Jews in Germany, and throughout Europe).
So back to this Wiesbaden class group (60 of them watching). As the 108-minute concluded....a couple of juveniles in the group applauded.
This triggered an investigation....identifying those who applauded, and the school suspended the folks for two weeks. Adding to the event....the Wiesbaden public prosecutor office got a call and will apparently investigate the accused for sedition.
A serious right-wing thing with the juveniles? You can't conclude much of anything off what's been reported so far. I've watched the movie under discussion...it is overly dramatic. The event concludes with a Nazi 'stamp' on the act of deporting Jews to concentration camps, and what amounts to death sentences.
6. NTV piece this AM.....Germany has approximately 1.1-million Ukrainians registered in the country. Around 320,000 who were registered.....have left.
7. Dacia, the Romanian company that makes fairly cheap but decent cars....has a new offering...the 'Spring'. Yeah, it's a E-car.
Range? 220 km. Cost? Well...they say it'll be in the 20,000 Euro.
Dacia build decent vehicles....at a lesser price. I won't say it's the type to be around in 20 years...but if you just wanted a 5-year car, they generally meet your expectations. This is their first E-car though.
