This Is Not My Planet Anymore
In a word, “no”
Or nein, if you prefer.
Another Green daydream comes to its inevitable end. Sheesh. German Greens don’t even know what country they live in.
Germany’s Autobahn — finally time for a speed limit?
The majority of Germans want a motorway speed limit, and environmental groups say it would help cut emissions. But are their arguments strong enough to convince those opposed to slower speeds on the Autobahn?
PS: A limit of 120 MILES per hour (image) might fly, but I doubt it.
Germans asked to stop being so naive
Germans reply by saying “What do you mean?”
“Just because we’re uncritical, unquestioning and easily taken in doesn’t necessarily mean that we’re naive. It worked with Russia, didn’t it?”
German spy agency warns companies against being too “naive” on China – Germany’s domestic spy agency told companies on Wednesday they should be on guard against industrial espionage by Beijing, warning them not to be naive or over-reliant on China.
The warning from the agency’s deputy head Sinan Selen came days after three German nationals were arrested on suspicion of handing over technology with military applications – a case which has highlighted mounting anxiety across Western Europe about Chinese spying.
German of the day: Da ist nichts zu lachen
That means that’s nothing to laugh about.
Although, actually…

I don’t think Indian students deserve this
They didn’t do anything wrong.
Why can’t we just learn to live in peace?
Germany targets Indian students to address labor shortages – Germany looks to tap into international student talent to keep its engineering and IT sectors afloat.
Germany is grappling with a critical labor shortage and aging population, with projections indicating a deficit of seven million skilled workers by 2035.
With some 700,000 vacancies currently unfilled, Germany’s economic growth potential has dropped to about 0.7% now from around 2% in the 1980s, and is set to fall further to 0.5% if the country fails to resolve this problem, German Economy Minister Robert Habeck has said, stressing the importance of migration in bridging this widening gap.
Engaging Germany’s Indian student population in the workforce may be part of the solution.
Spring is in the air!
I love the smell of CO2 in the morning.

No asylum for you!
You’re a European, after all.
And we have too many of those.
Germany: No asylum for Russian draft dodgers?
German authorities say that men coming to Germany from Russia to avoid being enlisted in the army are not at risk of persecution if they return to Russia.
“We are expected to speak out and be more politically active, and then we are denied asylum. According to several articles of the law in Russia, we can be thrown into jail just for taking part in protests here.”
But in social media it says that the Palestinians are starving
So it must be true.
Enjoying a nice day at the beach doesn’t mean you’re not starving, after all. Right?
‘We’re not like the Nazis’: Netanyahu said to chide German FM on Gaza ‘famine’ remark – heated exchange reportedly occurs after Annalena Baerbock charges Israel pushing Gaza toward starvation; Germany complains about ‘distorted’ leaks
“Come and see the pictures of the markets in Gaza, the beaches in Gaza, there’s no famine there.”
I can’t stand it…
I know you planned it.
What could it be? It’s a mirage. You’re scheming on a thing, that’s sabotage!
German police arrest two suspected of spying for Russia – German police have arrested two men on suspicion of spying for Russia. The German-Russian nationals are accused of acting as agents for sabotage purposes.
Lots of us take Pervitin too
Or at least that’s what they used to call it.
We don’t all smoke weed in Germany, Scholz assures Chinese students – Chancellor Olaf Scholz on Monday reassured Chinese students in Shanghai that they did not have to smoke cannabis if they studied in Germany and that Germany had legalised cannabis hoping that consumption would go down.
Scholz made the comments in response to a question from a student at Tongji University, who asked whether he would have to smoke cannabis if he studied in Germany, as the drug was not legal in China.
The urge to urge
Urged once again. Due to the urgency, I guess.
Well, I’m sure this urge will finally do the trick.
German chancellor urges Chinese industry bosses to play fair in EU market – Olaf Scholz says European cars should have equal access to Chinese customers.
“The only thing that always needs to be clear is that the competition is fair,” he said during a discussion with students at Tongji University in Shanghai. “That means there can be no dumping, no overproduction and that intellectual property rights are not violated,” he said.
