1. Switzerland to hold a vote....keeping population at a limit (10-million is the number)....once at it....no more acceptance of asylum folks. Anyone's guess how this will go.
Making some Germans ask....why can't we have a limit deal.
2. Watched the Qatar/Switzerland World Cup game (SF stadium, 19 C - 66 F).
So....all the way through the game....it was the Swiss ahead 1-0....then in the final minute or two....Qatar tied....game ended. Shocker for some Swiss folks.
Temp issue? German 'talking-heads' tried to suggest 'heat'.....I conveyed to my German wife....you can't get heat-stroke at 19 C.
Stadium empty seats? Camera angles were careful....but I'd take a guess...minimum of 5,000 seats empty.
3. Survey done on young Germans (2,000)....ages 14 to 29....presented by N-TV.
"49 percent of respondents report experiencing stress, 36 percent exhaustion, and 29 percent indicate a need for psychological support."
Yeah....overwhelming number....can't handle life..
4. Berlin police buildings in need of renovation.....they say it's currently in the range of 5.5-billlion Euro needed.
5. Couple of days ago...evening update on ZDF (Channel 2, public TV)....news-moderator....up and claimed that Elon Musk and Tommy Robinson called for the "hunt for migrants" and for "civil war."
I asked Grok/AI to find the quotes.....after about 3 minutes.....Grok admitted....neither said either quote.
So I'm left with two thoughts....either the news gal is English-less (meaning she can't speak/read/write/understand English....or she's drugged-up. Well....a 3rd option is that she's just blowing hot-air and manipulating viewers.
6. My thoughts on 'Freddy' (the German transiting America for World Cup games)....to be honest, I've noted about a hundred Italians, Japanese, Greeks, Brits, French folks, and Swedes.....on the same type of 'adventure'.
Most seem destined for the biggest 14 days of their life....living in some fantasy.
