1. Turmoil brewing in Baden-Wuerttemberg over election results. After counting votes and doing the seat analysis....Greens get 56 seats, and CDU gets 56 seats....with SPD getting 10 seats and AfD getting 35.
Coalition matter? Well...the ONLY combo is Greens and CDU together. CDU suggesting power-sharing....which the Greens say....NO, there was an election and we got the most votes....so we get the Premier-President seat and lead on most state cabinet posts.
If no coalition is achieved in 30 days? There would be another election....probably in June.
What might happen? The CDU might sit down and agree on some things.....listing ten things that the Greens promised....as a NO-GO promise. That would make the Green Party incredibly weak for five years in the state.
2. Scandal brewing? Posted to the right....was a ARD (public TV) election graphic showing the seat pattern (yesterday early AM) from the state election.
While the Green and black scale is correct.....the AfD (blue scale) is INCORRECT. Not the numbers....the scale is incorrect.
The real graphic is below it.
Accidentally done? That's the public TV management claim.
Childish prank? More or less.
3. VW profit slumped by 50-percent in the past year.
4. Erlangen (Bavaria): ER situation...police called in....had to shoot some guy swinging a knife around.
5. WELT piece by Anton Korinek....worth reading.....warning of massive layoffs due to AI.
6. ARD (public TV) is starting a new service....called 'rabbit-hole'.....which they claim....will evaluate all stories for fakeness.
I give it 90 days of service....before it is announced as a 'failure'.
7. I spent 10 minutes 'playing' with a election map and Sunday results. Where you see massive Green Party results.....it's in highly urbanized metro zones....the rest of the state (B-W).....it's mostly split by CDU and AfD.
