1. WELT had a piece discussing pharmacy shortages in Germany. What the German pharmacy managers are saying....somewhere down the line, in the not so faraway future....you will have a prescription and have to 'wait' (meaning more than hours).
2. Just a unusual amount of advertising on various TV networks....to encourage the 16 an 17 year old 'kids' to vote in the EU election.
About a month ago, some German journalist pointed out that things have evolved in Germany with teen-voters, and that maybe 20-percent will currently vote for the right-wing AfD Party. When this trend gets up to one-third of the youth-vote, then there will be a fair amount of stress and worry in what they did.
3. Lennart Pfahler wrote an opinion piece for WELT....suggesting there's a fair number of Germans now existing....who have lost trust in the 'foundations' of the German Federal Republic....this going along with the current court case of the Reich crowd.
I might agree....but it goes beyond Germany....you see it throughout Europe, and the US. Political 'trust' is a lot less than it was 30 years ago.
4. Odd piece of N-TV news this AM....BYD car company (Chinese) has been delivering a lot of their E-cars to the north coast port. Cars are currently sitting there, and someone has come notice a fair amount of mold on the interior.
5. I noticed a political trend graphic on N-TV.....if elections were held today, the CDU would likely win with 32-percent of the vote. 2nd place? SPD, with 16-percent.
Real loser? Linke Party....with 3-percent, and they would not be given seats in the Bundestag.
Odd place for new BSW Party? Next to last with 5-percent. It almost seems like their voters were former Linke folks.
