Germans still leaving the country

721 000 folks moved to Germany last year, 734 000 left. That’s 13 000 in the red, which is kind of a lot, I guess (especially when you consider the birth rate here these days), but at least it’s less red than the 43 000 in the red the year before, which is good, I guess.

So what does all this mean? Hell if I know. Give the people what they want or something and then they’ll stay. Or maybe they won’t. Hard to say for sure.

Besonders beliebt sind die Schweiz und USA.

Glad we got that one straightened up quick. Nevada could have been next. Although, come to think of it…

“When people are asked to show their papers, it brings back memories of Nazi Germany,” she said.
