Three Observations

 1.  Where Germans get their TV news from?

Well...there are two avenues.

First, there's public TV....ZDF and ARD.   

Second, you have N-24, N-TV, RTL, SAT1, Vox, and Pro-7. (The commercial  TV).

If you watch path 1 or 2....you eventually notice that public TV has the higher amount of climate-change, anti-Trump chatter, and pro-intellectual view-points.  The commercial news?  Mostly factual data....what happened or what changed in the past 24 hours, and condensed enough to avoid being 'too-much'.  

2.  Hamburg authorities approved a massive bridge project...over the Elbe.  Price?  1-billion Euro.  Finished?  Some suggest 2038....it wouldn't shock me if it was 2045 (with issues), and coming closer  to 2-billion Euro.

3.  Berlin-City is putting aside around 1-billion Euro to buy 238,000 trees to plant.  

I'll just go and predict....in 20 years....environmentalists proclaim a serious tree problem...with 150,000 trees to be cut down...for the safety of the city.
