The Heilbronner Stimme (February 3.2.2024, 1: XNUMX) is making the headline today with a teaser. People wrongly receive citizen’s money! Oh, even the voice editors notice that — that should be the real headline.

The fact is that some people always unfairly claim advantages for themselves. If these people have a slightly better “standing” in our society, this is completely okay. If they are among the more important, then state welfare no longer knows any limits - this then falls under the heading of "systemically relevant" and hundreds of billions of euros in tax money just tumble out of our budgets.

The real problem isn't the people taking the money, which is clearly being thrust upon them without any scrutiny or control - who among us would turn down that money? I'm afraid very few, because almost everyone thinks that they are entitled to this!

In addition to the completely overwhelmed legislators, the real problem is our now also overwhelmed ministries, authorities and administrations, whose employees hardly have the necessary qualifications to be able to carry out their own tasks. And if they do, then they shy away from the additional work that would now be necessary to responsibly manage a country or state.

Word of this spreads quickly and means that the overall situation becomes more and more unbearable for everyone. Now you could throw the baby out with the bathwater and call for a dictatorship that is only there for the “superhumans” - whoever they may be - or you could force the ministries, administrations and authorities to do their own work again make!

You could also elect politicians who have qualified educational qualifications and work experience. For years I have been recommending reintroducing minimum standards in politics and our administrations: party membership or even family relationships alone have proven not to be effective!

X-lists

If PRO Heilbronn comes out of the woodwork now, then the right corner of Heilbronn will be represented several times. In any case, the AfD can no longer claim the unique selling point, because now even the Monday walkers have their own list.

Now all that's missing is the left corner and maybe two more groups of them will be added Recep Tayyip Erdogan hope that one of them will also enforce his ideas of democracy in Heilbronn in the future; These fellow citizens should also ensure law and order in Heilbronn as the “Democratic Alliance for Diversity and Awakening” (Dava).

It should give us Heilbronners something to think about that the actual newcomer BSW is not yet represented in Heilbronn - but we probably are Sahra Wagenknecht just too poppy.

Platschern

The club's work is currently babbling along. Notary appointment, then a contract signing with the city archives and soon an appointment with the city administration. Otherwise, normal correspondence with our partner clubs and institutions as well as the parties involved in the Europa Ball. And in preparation for the 8th Hertenstein Talks, the first preliminaries with other supporters, partners and the State Center for Civic Education. In between there are the usual newsletters and events.

The meseno trips, the reading aloud at the Damm primary school and the tutoring sessions for students at the Wilhelm Hauff School are also going very well. I was very pleased that one of the boys, whom I have been able to look after for quite a while, even managed to get into a “secondary” school. Only his assumption that he is now finally allowed to go to a school for Germans gives me pause and at the same time confirms my assumption that we have long since completely run down our once good school system - unfortunately our education ministers and their entourage are still having the problem not heard!

The conversations that I am able to have on the sidelines are also very pleasing; one even took place during an excellent dinner. Drinking coffee almost every Friday Detlef Stern has now become a pleasant routine and ultimately means that I am highly motivated for the upcoming lecture series at Heilbronn University. And so today I'm already excited about what kind of students will be waiting for me this time and even more excited about whether I'll get the opportunity to read in a really large lecture hall - filling an auditorium is still on my imaginary agenda Bucket list. Admittedly, it's a bit nerdier than driving down and up the avenue in a Porsche, BMW or Mercedes or even eating a restaurant's menu from top to bottom, but everyone should be happy in their own way!

Meanwhile, my better half still manages to let me dance, and I at least manage to splash around in the city pool every now and then; I've long since given up on doing that with distances and drawing lanes - it should take a long time if the Olympians on the local council are now fully committed to competitive sports, right after artificial intelligence; which will soon be clearly explained to the rest of the world by 100 hand-picked people from Heilbronn.
