The creaking rail system is just one part of what is wrong with Germanyâs infrastructure, which economists have warned is now in such a shoddy state, due to years of underfunding, that it is starting to have a serious impact on Germanyâs GDP.

Nun stellt sich raus, dass bisher illegale BND-Praktiken nicht etwa untersagt, sondern schlicht legalisiert werden sollen. Man scheint sich eine eigene NSA aufzubauen: Der Auslandsgeheimdienst der Bundesregierung soll zB auch in Deutschland (!) ĂŒberwachen dĂŒrfen. Auskunftsfreudig ĂŒber die BND-PlĂ€ne zeigte man sich heute nicht… Wie ist der Zeitplan? Gilt fĂŒr Metadaten kĂŒnftig das Fernmeldegeheimnis?
