I couldn't find an English version so I'll summarize:

http://www.net-tribune.de/nt/node/60866/news/Datenschuetzer-fordern-unabhaengige-Pruefung-der-Anti-Terror-Gesetze

Data protection authorities are pushing for an independent scientific inspection of the current anti-terror laws. IMO all countries with such laws in place should be doing this.

I get a feeling that Germany could be paying more attention to holistic approaches of combating right-wing extremism. I keep hearing about tighter collaboration between various law enforcement agencies, and that is something that needs to happen, but to me it feels like they're trying to put a band-aid on something that goes much deeper.

The observed recent rise in right extremism did not happen in a vacuum, and you won't fix it by simply going after anyone deemed a threat. There needs to be more discussion about the causes of this extremism and solutions for addressing the root of the issue, which is something I see far too little of.

Just back from skiing in Germany, it was fun. Two points: they should build a tunnel between the Netherlands and Austria to help unclog everything around Munich, the traffic is insane even on Saturday (all day).

Munich traffic is notoriously hellish on Saturday. It's generally regarded as a bad idea to attempt to enter the city by car, since it's the day when everyone has off and goes shopping. The problem is compounded by the fact that all stores close at 20.00 on weekdays.

Honestly I didn't expect it to go to the Bundesverfassungsgericht at all.

Why is she carrying ten Republican liberal strawman talking points? Are they trying to bring the Death Tax debate to Deutschland?

Happy to report that DB has turned off the Klimaanlagen to save gas 👍

I hope you’re not serious, we’re travelling to Germany next week and were hoping to train around a lot.

The first time I experienced this was this last summer on a train from München to Bologna and it took them nearly two hours to schmeiß raus all the Leute ohne Sitzplatzreservierung. People were pissed because they had all bought tickets for their whole family and the next train wasn't until the day after. Seems like a massive gently caress-up for them to even offer these tickets.
