That’s no Wolfsmensch (wolfman). That’s the German Green’s Minister for Sustainable Agriculture (see him collecting those nuts and berries there?).
But why isn’t he in Berlin? Doing his freakin’ job there? What the hell is he doing in the Harz Mountains? Another government boondoggle, no doubt.
Mysterious naked ‘wolfman’ spotted in Germany’s Harz mountains – A terrifying image of a strange naked “wolf man,” who authorities think has lived in the woods for at least five years, was taken on Tuesday by hikers in Germany’s Harz Mountains.
This is an assurance that another’s obligation will be fulfilled, or something presented as such security; guaranty. In this case, they mean with taxpayer money.
And the guarantee is that the Germany economy is guaranteed to fall flat on its face if the German government continues its odd obsession with remaining dependent on China as a business partner. It’s recent dependency on Russan gas was just that much fun, I guess.
German guarantees for China investments plummet -document.
The volume of investment guarantees provided by the German government to companies investing in China has collapsed this year, a government document showed, highlighting the impact of Berlin’s efforts to end over-reliance on the country.
Only 51.9 million euros ($56.26 million) in guarantees have been issued so far this year, according to the document seen by Reuters, less than a tenth of the 745.9 million euros in guarantees issued over the whole of last year.
But I saw a report last night about who’s already going to be put on the list: Unwed and unemployed mothers living off the German welfare system, for example.
We’re from the government and we’re here to help! Some call it “Social Democracy.”
Germany is moving forward with a plan to ease its citizenship rules as it seeks to attract workers – Applicants will IN MOST CASES be required to prove that they can support themselves and their family without receiving state benefits. The new legislation will specify that “antisemitic, racist or other inhumanly motivated actions” rule out naturalization.
Only Kryptonite (also green) can stop him – otherwise known as the real world.
Germany set to miss net zero by 2045 target as climate efforts falter – German goals to cut greenhouse emissions by 65% by 2030 are likely to be missed, meaning a longer-term net zero by a 2045 target is also in doubt, reports by government climate advisers and the Federal Environment Agency (UBA) show.
The European Union has sought to be a climate leader and Germany has set itself more ambitious targets than the bloc as a whole, but in many countries politics and the economic crisis have pushed the climate crisis down the agenda.
Are the Germans planning on ditching Mallorca? New Baltic resort dubbed “German Mallorca” being built.
According to the Hamburger Morgen Post newspaper in two years, by the summer of 2025, Germans will able to stay at home will be able stay at home and enjoy a good vacation in the new tourism complex that is being built in Grömitz, a town located in northern Germany on the Baltic coast.
All homes of those who “violate a law that regulates the production and transfer of war weapons” need to be.
German prosecutors raid home of pro-Kremlin activists – German prosecutors said on Monday they searched the home of two pro-Kremlin activists under suspicion that they violated a law that regulates the production and transfer of war weapons.
The activists – Max Schlund and his romantic partner Elena Kolbasnikova – have organised multiple rallies protesting Germany’s support of Ukraine since the beginning of Russia’s full-scale invasion last year.
Reuters reported in January that Schlund and Kolbasnikova donated funds collected from supporters in Germany to a Russian army division fighting in Ukraine, and the money was used to purchase walkie-talkie radios, headphones and telephones.
German prosecutors searched the couple’s home in March as they looked for evidence to corroborate Reuters’ reporting.
Ulf Willuhn, a representative of the Cologne public prosecutors, confirmed on Monday the raid was conducted over suspicions of a violation of the War Weapons Control Act, but denied it was connected to their aid for Donbas in eastern Ukraine.
I know, it doesn’t ryhme as well as with “woke” but it’s OK. They’re woke too.
We’ll see for how much longer, though.
Nearly two-thirds of Germans want new government, poll says – A survey shows nearly two-thirds of voters want to pull the plug on Germany’s ruling coalition. The poll comes immediately after figures that show most Germans are unhappy with Chancellor Olaf Scholz and his government.
As many as 64% of Germans who answered in the survey released on Saturday said a change of government would make the country a better place…
Pollsters also asked about the so-called “traffic light” coalition of center-left Social Democrats (SPD), the Greens, and the neoliberal Free Democrats (FDP). Voters were asked how it measured up against Chancellor Angela Merkel’s “Grand Coalition” of conservative Christian Democrats/Christian Socialists (CDU/CSU) and the SPD.
Like Germany itself. Germany is unbeatable when it comes to beating Germany. Take German bureaucracy, for example. Please.
Germany is becoming expert at defeating itself – Bureaucracy and strategic blunders are starting to pile up.
In “the twelve tasks of asterix”, an animated film from 1976, one of the feats the diminutive Gaul must perform is to secure a government permit. To do so he must visit a vast office called The Place That Sends You Mad. In a recent open letter Wolfram Axthelm, the head of the German Wind Energy Association, likened modern Germany’s infuriating bureaucracy to Asterix’s challenge. A particular gripe was the 150-odd permits demanded by Autobahn GmbH, a state-owned firm that runs Germany’s vaunted motorways, for transporting outsize components of wind turbines, such as blades. Between byzantine rules on load dimensions, faulty software, perennial roadworks and a lack of personnel to process complaints, a backlog of some 20,000 applications has built up. A company that recently trucked a turbine from the port of Bremen to a site in the northern state of Schleswig-Holstein found that although the distance is barely 100km (62 miles), road restrictions made the journey five times that long…
Right, ladies? Different strokes for different folks and all that?
But maybe you ought to ask yourselves just what this is progressing to? I’d say it’s already progressed to the point where you can hang up those old swimsuits of yours for good.
Swimming World Cup 2023: Transgender swimmers to compete in new open category in Berlin – World Aquatics will debut a new open category for transgender athletes at this year’s Swimming World Cup event in Berlin.
Last year, the world governing body voted to stop transgender athletes from competing in women’s elite races.
The open category will feature 50m and 100m races across all strokes.
“Berlin is Germany’s hub for diversity and inclusion and therefore the perfect location for such a progressive project.”
To Australia? I know. But she does seem to have a lot of time on her hands these days.
‘More than annoying’: German minister cancels Pacific trip after plane mishap – German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock was forced Tuesday to call off a foreign policy trip to the Pacific region after two failed attempts to fly from the United Arab Emirates to Australia on a government aircraft.
The canceled visit is just the latest in a string of trips by German officials to be affected by problems with aging government planes. Some experts have ascribed the problems to the policy of buying used aircraft to economize.
