US-Wahl: DAAD's Observations on the Ground
The DAAD (German Academic Exchange Service) has been observing the US elections on the ground and has noted a number of key trends. First, there is a growing sense of polarization in the United States, with both sides becoming increasingly entrenched in their positions. This polarization is reflected in the way that the candidates are campaigning, as well as in the way that the media is covering the election.
Second, there is a great deal of uncertainty about the outcome of the election. This uncertainty is due to a number of factors, including the close race between the two candidates and the fact that there are a number of swing states that could go either way. The uncertainty is likely to continue until the very end of the election.
Sanierungsstau: Tücken Alternativer Finanzierung
The Sanierungsstau (rehabilitation backlog) in Germany is a major problem that is only getting worse. The backlog is due to a number of factors, including a lack of funding, a shortage of skilled workers, and a complex regulatory environment.
The German government has been trying to address the Sanierungsstau for a number of years, but it has not been able to make much progress. One of the reasons for this is that the government has been reluctant to increase funding for the rehabilitation of buildings.
Another reason for the lack of progress is that the government has not been able to develop a comprehensive plan for addressing the Sanierungsstau. As a result, the problem has only gotten worse over time.
