Let’s not jump to conclusions

He’s just a suspect for now.

Just because he was already known to Austrian authorities as an Islamist and purchased his weapon illegally the day before in Salzburg and his shooting rampage in Munich occurred on the anniversary of the Palestinian terror attack at the 1972 Munich Olympics in which 11 Israeli athletes were murdered and in the immediate vicinity of the Israeli consulate doesn’t really mean that he was a real Islamist terrorist or anything.

It’s kind of like the 80-20 rule

Only different.

Whereas with the 80-20 Rule (aka Pareto Principle) 80% of a company’s revenue is generated by 20% of its customers, when it comes to German elections, 80% of voters are very conservative regarding certain issues (“irregular” migration, for instance) but are ruled by 20% of those who aren’t.

This European City Was Just Named the No. 1 Solo Travel Destination in the World — and It Has Affordable Hotels and Food – Berlin came in at the top, followed by Vancouver.

Some things are better done alone. While travel is often marketed as something to do with your partner, friends, or family, traveling solo has some real perks…
