Current Reality in Germany D.K., Bochum May 12, 2019 "Today I have read a newspaper article, that Mrs. Lagarde (IWF) is claiming a worldwide energy tax for necessary. In Germany a ban on Diesel-powered vehicles is reality. In many inner cities Dieselpowered cars aren't allowed to drive anymore. Politicians want to stop the automobile registration for Diesel-powered and fuel-powered cars until 2030. Electric motors shall be a mean to an end. Even though the production of rechargeable battery isn't environmentally acceptable, and you've got to drive about 100.000 km with an Electric car, before it's economic. It's half thought but realized too fast. Pupil in Germany are demonstrating on Fridays ("Fridays for Future") for a decrease of carbon dioxide. Not thinking about themselves using Smartphones and being driven to school with Mums SUV. Who is guilty and has to change lives, is in their eyes the working population. They are not demonstrating after school, no, they are being truant on every Friday. Because Great Thunberg, their 16-year-old climate messiah from Sveden, who is used (or misused) by her parents (both unsuccessful as actor and a opera singer) is telling them to do. The father of Greta is cooperating with a company called "WeDon'tHaveTime AB". This company earned with Greta, travelling around the world and claiming to stop using nuclear power plants (especially in Germany), about a million Euro until March 2019. Years ago, Germany has been a well educated country, but pupils, who are being truant at school, aren't able to learn. Because in the classes many kids with a migration background (sometimes about 80 %) are learning together with native kids, the teaching is not on a high level (German is not the first language spoken in many families of kids with migration background). The grading system is lowered down (many pupils have got a very good school leaving examination (Abitur), when I finished school, only three of my schoolmates got a very good "Abitur"), that many pupil are getting the admission to study at university. But at university, the requirements are high - too high for many young students. And because it is socially unseen to get an education as a craftsman (for example), they have got the possibility to study at a technical college. Only students (if they finish university. Many students realize that the study is too hard and break up ...and Hartz IV is an option for several)...no more craftsmen.
