1. German authorities had a 'to-do' project.....find a nuke-energy-storage site by 2031.
Well....things aren't going as planned, and the new find-date is figured to be 2074. Yeah....90-percent of Germans alive today...won't be around to note the grand-opening.
2. If you want to buy a E-vape situation in Germany...the law says you must be 18. Well....the cigarettes' industry is admitting....fair number of under-age E-vape 'kids' now exist, and illegally acquiring the vapes.
3. Couple of weeks ago...the right-wing extreme magazine....'Compact' was shut-down. It appears that it's being published somewhere (probably beyond the border)....but they changed the name of the publication....to 'NANCY'....in honor of the Interior Minister. Funny in a way...I guess.
4. There's talk that a 'right-to-work-from-home' is being designed by the Bundestag (by the Green Party).
If you asked me the odds of passing? I'd say less than 30-percent.
5. Half of all German psychiatric hospitals have a staff shortage.
6. Someone made up a index of kids in the world....who are happy. So at the top of the list is the Netherlands. Why?
Well....the study says that Dutch parents teach independence a great deal, and they emphasize independent thought/opinion....more so that other cultures.
7. I was reading a piece yesterday over the EU mandated 'attached-cap' to plastic drink bottles.
To relate this to the American....the EU decided there was a problem where plastic drink caps were not being turned-in with the plastic bottles (mandated to be recycled). So the EU stood up (around 2 years ago) and told the drink manufacturing folks....you need to make a bottle, which has a cap attached to the bottle. So they did that.
It's been out now for about 3 months.
Most people hate the attached nature of the cap...makes it more difficult to pour or drink from the bottle. Some analyst finally went out and asked the question....was this a 'problem' which required fixing by the EU? Consensus? NO....it was never a problem.
Me? Once I open such a bottle....I RIP off the attached cap.
8. Several arrests being conducted in Vienna.....connected to scheduled Taylor Swift concerts which were to be held shortly. Appears for the time being....all three concerts cancelled. Key person involved? 19-year old.
Based on police story told....this goes off into a weird direction. Key guy is a Austrian, but seems to have been radicalized of the Internet. Police say he had some type of "sworn allegiance" to the jihadist militia Islamic state (IS) recently.
Yeah, just plain weird. Tickets affected? Near 200k.
9. Another grocery store roof in Germany collapses....this one in Lower Saxony. Same brand? Yep, Netto. I'm guessing some safety audit will be mandated over this trend.
