Volker Ketzer wrote that a family man was thrown into prison for lèse-majesté against one of his demonstrably incompetent politicians. At the same time, people he described as multiple rapists were free, classified as not guilty by reason of insanity, and continued to receive public funds, he claimed. He also wrote that people do not yet hate the state enough and demanded Paul's release with the hashtag #FREEPAUL. #FREEPAUL #Freiheit #Justiz #Politik (translated)

Volker Ketzer wrote that a Bavarian school sent the janitor to the family's home address after anonymous tips suggested that a sick child was faking their illness. The parents had excused their child. The Bavarian Data Protection Officer took up the case in his activity report, and the school acknowledged its mistake, according to Volker Ketzer. He compared the incident to an employer sending a janitor to check on a sick employee at home due to a rumor and criticized the idea of using the janitor to verify sick leave reports. #Datenschutz #Krankmeldung #Schule (translated)

Volker Ketzer wrote that originally 131 freight trains per day were projected for the high-speed line Erfurt–Leipzig/Halle. However, by 2025, only a total of 449 freight trains had actually run there, averaging 1.2 trains per day. On the Ebensfeld–Erfurt line, 168 freight trains were planned daily, but in reality, it was an average of two. These figures are from a response from the federal government. Initially, he looked for a typographical error, but apparently, no one had made a mistake. #Verkehr #Eisenbahn #Güterverkehr (translated)

VolkerKetzer wrote that self-service checkouts relieved the supermarket, while customers took on the work and were monitored by the machine. He described how he had spent a long time searching for the right type of bread roll on the screen while a queue waited behind him, critically assessing his checkout skills. In the past, this work was done by an employee; now he himself was under performance pressure. He commented on the machine's final question about a receipt with a wish for a pay slip. #Selbstbedienungskassen #Technologie #Supermarkt (translated)

Volker Ketzer wrote that Ines Schwerdtner said that armed protests by migrants in Europe gave her hope. He interpreted this as a sign that she was either extremely unintelligent or malicious and used a derogatory sexist term for her. #Europa #Proteste #Migration (translated)

VolkerKetzer wrote that the AfD confirmed a hacker attack on its email service provider. Unknown individuals claimed to have published around 421,000 emails; it is unclear whether the data is genuine to that extent. In his view, criticism or political rejection of the AfD did not justify the theft of private messages. According to VolkerKetzer, those who defend civil rights only for people with a shared opinion do not protect civil rights but rather their own political convenience. #Bürgerrechte #Datenschutz #Hackerangriff (translated)

Volker Ketzer wrote that a daycare in Frechen had, like every year, planned a Martin's parade through the streets with the children. Due to new safety regulations, large vehicles were now necessary as barriers for this event. Therefore, the daycare moved the parade to a closed-off park. Ketzer criticized that small children with handmade lanterns can no longer simply walk through the streets without having to think about truck barriers beforehand. He described the situation as extremely miserable. #Sicherheit #Martinsumzug #Kita (translated)

Volker Ketzer wrote that a public toilet is being built in Hadamar in Hesse for 355,700 euros, which, according to him, is only to be used on six days a year during the fair and the Christmas market. He explained that the majority of the costs are being financed by the state of Hesse. Regarding possible cost-saving measures, he jokingly remarked that these would likely be limited to toilet paper for the project. #Hadamar #Hessen #ÖffentlicheToiletten (translated)

Volker Ketzer wrote that Schleswig-Holstein distributed nearly 35,000 service laptops to teachers. 10,900 of them had not been turned on even once during the entire year of 2025; the purchase value was around 6.75 million euros. As part of the problem, he mentioned the centrally managed software, which restricts usage and leads to many teachers preferring to use their personal devices. Ketzer criticized the procurement and mockingly addressed Günther. #Bildung #SchleswigHolstein #Technologie (translated)

Volker Ketzer wrote that he looked worried and contemplative at something, without specifying what. He then roughly demanded silence from his recipients and wrote that they had wanted it this way and would now receive it. https://t.co/mxzmwJButj #Nachdenken #Gesellschaft #Kritik (translated)

Volker Ketzer wrote that the EU had specified which cars would no longer be allowed to be newly purchased starting in 2035. Germany and France were now negotiating the extent to which cars with internal combustion engines should still be permitted. In his opinion, people should be able to decide for themselves which car they bought. However, if that were the case, there would be nothing left to negotiate and the EU bureaucrats would not be needed, he added sarcastically. #Energiepolitik #EU #Umweltschutz (translated)

Volker Ketzer wrote that since 2015, numerous rocket engineers have been brought into the country for the economy. Nevertheless, the first flying car will not be developed here, which he expressed disappointment about. #Innovation #Technologie #Wirtschaft (translated)

Volker Ketzer wrote that the state is raising cigarette prices with reference to the health damage of smoking and could, if all goes according to plan, take in billions more. He criticized that while the state wants people to quit smoking, it is also dependent on the revenues from tobacco sales. #Rauchen #Gesundheit #Steuern (translated)

Volker Ketzer described the person in question as the embodiment of a self-satisfied, prosperity-shaped party-state bureaucracy. He wrote that the country would only become great again like it was in the past once this mentality is completely overcome and blamed people like the man for the decline. #Politik #Gesellschaft #Kritik (translated)

Volker Ketzer wrote that the EU is far from such technology and innovation power. At the same time, he claimed that there is certainly already a special tax for such cars. #EUBeobachtung #Innovation #Technologie (translated)

Volker Ketzer wrote that kerosene is becoming scarce at Frankfurt Airport. Lufthansa is therefore preemptively fueling more on selected routes before planes fly to Frankfurt. He cited bottlenecks in supply at the destination as the reason, rather than longer flight distances. He pointed out that this concerns Germany's largest airport and described the situation as Germany in 2026. #Frankfurt #Lufthansa #Flughafen (translated)

Volker Ketzer wrote that the coalition has agreed on a sugar tax, which is to be 26 or 32 cents per liter for heavily sweetened beverages starting in July 2027. Manufacturers with an annual production of less than one million liters of sweetened beverages are exempt from this. He noted that this would treat two beverages with the same sugar content differently, depending on how much the manufacturer produces in total. He described this distinction as noteworthy from a health policy perspective and questioned whether sugar is unhealthy only above a certain production size. #Zuckersteuer #Gesundheit #Ernährung (translated)

Volker Ketzer compared the customs calculation he described to shopping at Aldi: Five packages of pasta would cost an additional fee of three euros, shampoo another three euros, and batteries three more euros. The critical factor is not the number of products but the number of different product groups. Ketzer wrote that the EU has been charging three euros per customs tariff group for small online orders from non-EU countries with a value of up to 150 euros since July. Thus, five identical items would amount to three euros, while three different product groups would total nine euros, he explained. In his opinion, people would be annoyed by such a regulation in the supermarket, but at customs, it is enshrined in a regulation. #EU #Zoll #OnlineShopping (translated)

Volker Ketzer wrote that a driver's license now costs an average of 3,400 euros in Germany and should become up to 1,000 euros cheaper. He mentioned possible changes such as fewer mandatory special driving sessions, fewer theory questions, and completely digital instruction. He pointed out that a cheaper training could possibly be achieved by imposing fewer requirements. #Führerschein #Kosten #Bildung (translated)
