Feuerwerk
Now you can officially buy firecrackers and other firecrackers again. Many people also have remaining inventory that they would definitely like to get rid of this year. The people in Baden-Württemberg in particular seem to have lost all standards. According to a SWR Aktuell report According to the State Statistical Office and preliminary results of foreign trade statistics, Baden-Württemberg imports of fireworks in the period from January to October 2023 increased almost tenfold within a year with a weight of 562,5 tons (full year 2022: 63,3 tons).
With such quantities, no one can claim that the fireworks at the end of the year are anything more than just pointless and mindless shooting around! You could have easily done something good with all that money, e.g. For example, you can donate to good causes, promote animal and nature conservation or perhaps even support alternative celebrations.
Ultimately, however, an old military wisdom holds true again: the stupider and more incompetent the people, the more shooting. And so the purchasing figures fit in quite well with our country's declining level of education - which also raises concerns that our hospitals will have a lot to do in the coming days.
Midnight in Paris
You can say whatever you want as a director Woody Allen simply a force. Yesterday I watched his 2011 film “Midnight in Paris” twice.
Owen Wilson shines as a successful Hollywood screenwriter who can't stand the Republicans in general and his future father-in-law in particular and probably doesn't know what to do with his future wife either. C By the way, there is a good one Ernest Hemingway.
I won't tell you the rest... please just watch the film yourself. Just enough that Woody Allen received an Oscar for directing in 2012.
S-Bahn
As we can read today in the Heilbronner Stimme (December 28.12.2023, 28: XNUMX), nothing will come of the Stuttgart S-Bahn. Another hope less. And the city's own light rail expansion is still a long time coming. Even if I personally like trains and S-Bahn trains - probably a relic from my childhood - they will not be successful for us if they come a few decades too late and automated individual transport has long since reduced rail to absurdity.
Precisely when the entire world dismantles the rails one day, billions in subsidies will just flow and - whatever the cost - the S-Bahn will be built to Stuttgart.
