Today in Rhein-Main: Today a quiz!

Good evening,

too much rain, too much corona, too much darkness.

Yes, is there anything that could cheer you up?

Yes, yes: a little quiz always lifts the mood.

Question: When do the Hessian police officers count special smartphones in their equipment?

a) Since 2011, because the Hessian police are of course always at the forefront technically,

b) since 2015, practically everyone had a smartphone, including the police, or

c) not until 2022, because ... for whatever reason.

Correct is c).

The Hessian Interior Minister proudly announced on Tuesday that the work of the police should be supported with the nationwide issue of specially secured smartphones this year.

Even in the first half of the year!

Then it's good.

Next question: In Hesse, in December, in the middle of the pandemic, how many vacancies were there?

a) None, it's a crisis

b) a handful, but only in very special jobs such as smartphone procurement for the Hessian police, or

c) 50,000.

Correct is again c), which corrects some things.

In fact, the Hessian labor market has recovered, the unemployment rate is a comfortable 4.6 percent, which is also due to the continued generous granting of short-time working.

The 50,000 vacancies reflect the simultaneous shortage of skilled workers, which is likely to become even greater - and it would be good if more were done about it, as Patricia Andreae writes in her comment.

And another quiz question: If you buy a museum bank card in Frankfurt for 89 euros, which gives you free admission to the museums for one year, can you also go to all the special exhibitions at the Städel free of charge?

a) Sure, 89 euros are already expensive enough, right?

b) that would be even better, the buyers only invested 89 euros.

This time b) is correct.

Or, to be more precise: Until recently, the special exhibitions were included in the price, but now some, like the ongoing Rembrandt exhibition, are no longer.

Anyone who was very well informed could know, others are annoyed about the additional costs.

In any case, this does not make the Museum Bank Card any more attractive.

So, enough of the Q&A for today!

And there were also plans for another ECB tower in Frankfurt before the corona pandemic, but these were not followed up, as can be heard in the town hall +++ Offenbach wants to displace motorists from Schillerplatz there +++ are four injured and two destroyed cars as a result of a ghost drive on Rheinuferstraße B 42 in the Rheingau.

I wish you a pleasant evening

Yours Manfred Köhler
