The Germany city of Hanover has become the first big city in Europe to ban hot water and central heating in public buildings ...
The drastic step comes as Germans have been told to expect sky high electricity bills and sweeping gas rationing measures that will affect their day-to-day lives.
In a sign of things to come, Hanover, the capital of Lower Saxony in the north west of the country, will cut off the hot water in public buildings, swimming pools, sports halls and gyms.
Other desperate gas-saving measures include switching off public fountains and blacking out night-time lights on major buildings such as the town hall and museums.
...
There will also be a ban on portable air conditioners, heaters and radiators among the general populace

Germany on the brink: EU's economic powerhouse is heading for recession and energy rationing – with bills tripling – after Merkel ignored warnings Putin could cripple Europe by choking gas supplies
...
Despite repeated warnings about the risks of this reliance successive German governments have only deepened it
...

Take that, Putin!!!!
We Germans don’t need no hot water!!!
The EU is a blight on the planet.
I’ll bet that there are not a lot of people sitting around in the brauhaus singing “Deutschland Uber Alles” tonight.
Springtime for Putin and Russia
Winter for Germany and France
Considering how many stinky third-worlders they have let into Germany, I am surprised hot water is even in demand.
Yikes maybe not too far off
So it seems.
Stolen Elections come at a very high cost and bring with them dire consequences.
This whole shitshow could have been so easily avoided.
Starting with the (*spit*) Carter presidency, every employer I worked for turned off their water heaters. None of them had turned them back on by the time I was knocked out of employment by (*spit*) Obama. Also, in the seventies, they upped the thermostat. In Florida, this meant that for the first time these employers no longer required suits. Seriously, prior to (*spit*) Carter a three-piece suit was required. There were stories about professional workers being sent home for either not wearing one, or for wearing one that wasn’t conservative enough. Honeywell, for example, required either gray or black. Brown would get you sent home.
Eeewww avoid crowded German trains and buses. The smell will be bad.
The smell already was bad. Germans don’t wash their clothes.
Coming soon to an American city near you!
And it is also making Viktor Orban look that even more better.
I have zero sympathy for them. They are the greenest of green in Europe, probably the world.
It’s what happens when you’re delusional and believe in unicorns.
Looking forward to a cold winter there.
Most are from warm climates.
Well at least the krauts will feel how it was after we bombed the sh*t out of them 80 years ago..
Winter baths will be a delight.
Or in winter they’ll feel like their soldiers in Stalingrad felt.
