1. Shooter from Krawkow died last night.
Lot of locals there wondering....what kind of psychopath was this guy...shooting both parents, the sister, and two family cats.
Probably will be a review....how he got a permit to own guns, and if the system is not built correct. I looked it up. Poland has 412,000 permits to hold a weapon.....with about one-million guns in private hands. For reference...population-wise....Germany has a population of 84-million, with 930,000 permit folks, and a collection of five-million guns. Poland has around half the population....lot less guns.
2. CDU/CSU members are going to actively push Merz (Chancellor) to cut electricity taxes.
3. Just odd....a new ARD survey revealed that 70 percent of respondents in Berlin and Brandenburg....seem to be dissatisfied with how democracy functions in everyday life. The same group then said....85-percent of them....this was apparently the best form of government.
How they wanted fix this? No one asked.
From a outsider....I'll just say....if you had a problem as a German.....it's probably a 99-percent chance situation that you don't want a politician to fix it for you.
4. Both the CDU-CSU and SPD folks agreed....developing a plastic tax is currently not practical.
5. Excellent commentary piece with WELT this AM...by Harald Martenstein....he doesn't want a political agenda where he is told who he can converse with (mostly referring to ban-the-AfD efforts).
6. Over the weekend.....the Chancellor (Merz) gave a talk....indicating 'guests' of Germany (meaning migrants) have to accept German 'guilt' for killing off the Jews from the 1930s/1940s. Apparently, if you want to be a German 'guest'....you need to believe in and support the German guilt business. No polls to say how 'guests' feel over this. I sat in a integration class and was kinda surprised....2017-time-period...out of 20-odd folks....only about ten knew of WW II and the Jew history. Instructor spent about 4 hours of the month-long class (4 days a week)....covering history aspects.
