1. The CDU-CSU and SPD in their coalition deal....say they will repeal Robert Habeck's heating law.
Habeck's law? Well...the requirement read....65-percent of heating systems in newly built structures....had to be renewable energy (either heat pumps or solar panels).
Pissing off some folks? Yeah.....there was a upsurge in heat pumps, and some will say they wished they'd gone to oil or natural gas.
2. Ice cream prices up? Yeah, as the heat arrives....folks are checking out scopes of ice cream, and most everyone went up 20 to 30 cents.
3. Odd story out of Hallstadt. 71-year-old retiree female came into a dental office demanding an appointment. For some reason....NOT explained....the comeback was 'NO'. So the gal refused to leave when asked.
Well....they called the police.
Police arrive and are in some process of handcuffing her....the husband (appears he was waiting in the car) sees the action, and gets involved. He is then handcuffed as well.
So the two simmer down.....cops get them to chill out, and then release them after a report is established.
Charges? There's to be more investigation, but potentially....yeah..
4. N-TV ran a documentary piece.....entitled: 'Volcano Under Germany'....talking up the potential of the Eifel area (Bitburg) being a potential volcano (again).
5. The Inspector General of the German Army says....by the end of 2026....the Russian Army will be twice the size as they were....before the Ukraine-war.
BS? Just on replacing tanks and APCs....I'd go and suggest...unless they make a deal with China to produce stuff....it'll be a minimum of 15 years before they are operationally back to full strength.
6. Drought affect river heights? YES. One interview from Friday that I watched....the boat-captain figured from Hamburg down the river....operations will likely be stopped at Koln by the end of May.
In my region....marginal snowfall in December, with only two real rainfalls since early December....mixed with 5 or 6 short-duration showers of 15-to-20 minutes.
7. They had a odd discussion in Frankfurt this past week.....there's a political element who wanted some dedicated subway cars....for women/trans/lesbian only. City had a brief talk, and then said 'no'. Logistically, it would have been a challenge. I suspect men identifying as women....would have ridden on the same cars....making it a eventual friction-problem.
8. It would appear that the minimum wage of 15 Euro....was not agreed upon by the CDU-CSU and SPD.
