Are missing.
The parts that couldn’t get through the Red Sea, I mean. Oh, never mind.
Red Sea attacks halt Tesla production at German plant – US electric car manufacturer Tesla will temporarily stop production at a factory outside Berlin. Attacks on ships in the Red Sea mean the factory cannot get the parts it needs to maintain operations.
That means railway strike.
Pro tip: When you’re the guy giving the order to strike, make sure you catch the last train back to your headquarters in Berlin before the strike begins.
More German of the day: Dumm gelaufen. That means shit happens.
Train drivers’ strike – GDL boss Weselsky misses last train to Berlin.
Claus Weselsky has a problem: due to the train drivers’ strike, the head of the train drivers’ union (GDL) said he missed the last train to Berlin on Tuesday evening.
Courts in Frankfurt rejected the injunction issued by Deutsche Bahn against the strike action on Tuesday evening but after that, things went less well for the union leader, as the hearing lasted longer than initially expected.
And that’s the main thing.
German industrial output drops unexpectedly in November – German industrial production fell unexpectedly in November by 0.7% compared to the previous month, the federal statistics office said on Tuesday.
As reported earlier, this only confirms that the Green plan to shut down Germany in order to save the planet is running like clockwork.
That means to paralyze.
For example: Bauernproteste legen Städte und Autobahnen lahm means farmers’ protests paralyze cities and freeways.
The week of rage – What’s in store for us tomorrow?
Starting tomorrow, farmers all over Germany will be taking to the barricades to demonstrate against the government’s (subvention-cutting) policy. Expected are highway blockades, rallies, protest camps and rallies all over the country. The farmers’ association expects “tens of thousands of tractors” to take part.
Worried about how heated up the atmosphere is getting?
Then why did you heat it up in the first place? Subsidies are like heroin. You don’t take heroin away from a heroin addict without expecting a reaction, do you?
Protest against German vice-chancellor shocks political class – Angry farmers attempt to stop Robert Habeck disembarking from ferry…
Deputy chancellor and economy minister Robert Habeck was on his way back from the island of Hooge on Thursday night when he faced a group of about 250-300 farmers at Schlüttsiel harbour, near the border with Denmark. They had gathered to protest against a recent government decision to slash agricultural subsidies.
“What I’m really worried about is how heated up the atmosphere in the country is becoming,” he added. “The right to protest in Germany is a precious asset. Coercion and violence destroy this asset.”
When your industries start to tank because of the high costs caused by Green renewable energy fantasies, you produce less.
The less you do, the less CO2.
Germany’s 2023 CO2 emissions fall to lowest in 70 years but drop not yet sustainable – study.
Germany’s carbon dioxide emissions in 2023 fell to their lowest since the 1950s due to less coal-fired power and reduced output by energy-intensive industries, but the decline is unsustainable without climate policy changes, a study said on Thursday…
Industry emissions met government targets, falling 12% year-on-year, at 144 million tonnes, following an 11% drop in energy-intensive output, it added, warning that that fall could be lost this year with the sector’s recovery.
Because it’s always spotted.
Or being repaired. Or hasn’t been delivered yet. Or on fire. Or…
Ukraine Only Has a Few German Leopard Tanks Left: Lawmaker – Ukraine’s military only has a few Leopard 2A6 tanks left that are fit for combat after receiving 18 from Germany in March, according to German politician and economist Sebastian Schäfer…
However, some of the Leopard tanks reportedly sat unused in storage or needed repairs before being sent to Ukraine, sparking concerns about the vehicles’ battle-readiness. Prior to Berlin pledging to send Leopard tanks to Ukraine, the head of German military manufacturer Rheinmetall told German newspaper Bild that stocks of Leopard 1 and Leopard 2 tanks “must be completely dismantled and rebuilt.”
No way. Emission certificate fraud? For fraudulent emissions?
The Chinese would never do that.
German authority probes alleged Chinese emission certificate fraud – Listed project coordinates show only desert on Google Maps.
The German Emissions Trading Authority is looking into allegations of irregularities in an undisclosed upstream emission reduction project in China, the body told Nikkei Asia.
The move comes after allegations by German biofuel producers that upstream emission reduction (UER) certificates issued by the authority, known as DEHSt, to some international fossil fuel companies for their emission curtailment projects in China were based on fraudulent information.
“Same procedure as last year?“
Olaf will be dinning alone this year, methinks. It’s not like anybody who doesn’t have to will be celebrating New Years with this guy. Much less listening to anything he has to say.
In his New Year‘s address, Chancellor Olaf Scholz said Germany would have to change in the face of a “more unsettled and harsher,” world but was certain the country would “get through it.”
Have a Happy New Year anyway!
Or maybe they should call it ring of fire in the New Year.
Are we having cultural enrichment yet?
German and Dutch authorities fear repeat of NYE firework violence – Fireworks are traditionally used to ring in the new year in Germany and the Netherlands, with New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day the only times they can be set off without permission.
But in recent years, celebrations have come under increased scrutiny.
Last year, dozens of police and firefighters were injured during riots in Berlin. Authorities said some were deliberately targeted with fireworks.
Other cities including Hamburg, Bonn, Dortmund and Essen, also saw violence.
