Last week gas was free on a daily basis.

If you don't believe that when you see your supplier's mail, look at the business section of the newspaper.

It's too warm outside for the time of year, the storage tanks are full, people are freezing, turning the heating down, all as recommended by government experts.

Ships with liquefied gas promptly pile up off the coast, and anyone who is still wondering why Germany's first LNG terminal is not ready until December at the earliest can be told: because we can.

Meanwhile, the apartment occupants who pay double the deduction in the short term are learning that the long-term price is decisive, that it is of no use if the gas does not cost anything at the end of October, because it will soon cost a lot again, since Putin is no longer streaming north, although we are not anymore anyway need, because of saving and saving.

In general, everything is connected to everything else.

If free gas becomes more expensive, oil will also become more expensive.

And firewood, of course, which everyone now wants to heat with.

But there is no more fresh wood, according to the administration, which controls reading cards, although the forest is full of it.

Clear what is coming: wood price brake instead of long-term plan.

In a state of slight irritation as to whether everything isn't being attributed to this terrible war in Ukraine, there is joy that at least activists are still taking care of the real problems.

No, we're not talking about Audi CEO Markus Duesmann, who's on the Autobahn on Sundays.

In the VW Autostadt in Wolfsburg, members of the hitherto insignificant and now little-known group Scientist Rebellion have glued themselves to the floor in the Porsche pavilion.

Because of the end of the world.

In the sure assumption of being detached shortly before the same and carried onto the ark.

What the landlord, according to the motto "stick and let stick", simply refrained from doing for 42 hours.

In addition, the heating and lights were turned off, exemplary, times are like that.

Then the hands of those who were sticking hurt,

they would also like to go to the toilet and are angry about the inaction of the VW-Porsche guys.

So are we, how can you be so inconsiderate?

What could have happened there.

A Pattex group like this should have a proper barrier with a warning sign: Enter the splice at your own risk, activists are liable here.
