Wien Energie, Austria’s largest energy supplier is “Not broke” (Google translate)
Austria was surprised when it was suddenly announced on Sunday morning that a crisis summit on energy prices was to take place in the Chancellery on the same day. […]
Wien Energie stated on Sunday evening that it was “not insolvent/bankrupt”, but because of the explosion in electricity prices across Europe, the “necessary security deposits had risen unexpectedly”. “Wien Energie & Wiener Stadtwerke are solid, economically healthy companies with excellent credit ratings.”
They just can’t raise the collateral.
The City of Vienna subsidiary had to deposit between 1.7 and 1.8 billion euros as security at the beginning of the week, according to media reports. “The city of Vienna is said to have helped out in the past few weeks with a guarantee worth billions, but is now reaching its limits,” writes the “Kronen Zeitung” in its online edition. Now it needs collateral from the federal government.
In response to the media reports, the FPÖ called for “immediate and complete clarification” of Wien Energie’s financial situation. “If it is actually true that the City of Vienna has already given money to the city-owned company in the past without informing the municipal council, then this will have far-reaching consequences,” said the Viennese FPÖ state party chairman Dominik Nepp in a broadcast on Sunday.
The Viennese VP quickly announced a press conference on the subject of “Financial scandal Wien Energie? Rescue of the company, investigation and political consequences”. Club chairman Markus Wölbitsch and finance spokesman Landtag President Manfred Juraczka were announced as participants of the media event at the ÖVP headquarters in Lichtenfelsgasse.
According to the Minister of Finance, other state energy suppliers are not currently in financial difficulties. “At the moment it’s just about Wien Energie,” said Brunner in “ZIB2”.
“At the moment”.
Punching Back, Twice As Hard
Overwhelmed city officials are struggling to provide a promised intake center and hotel rooms to migrants being shipped by the busload from Texas to the Big Apple, The Post has learned.
The Department of Homeless Services acknowledged to The Post that it has abandoned its initial plan to operate an intake and processing center dedicated to the recent arrivals alongside a 600-room shelter at the ROW NYC hotel on Eighth Avenue in Midtown.
Officials would only say Sunday that they have finally selected a finalist to operate the-yet-to-open Manhattan facility but would not reveal the contractor’s name or its location.

Featured Comment: How Covid Policy Has Hurt Children
Further to this recent post about the disastrous (and highly politicized) policies of the American Academy of Pediatrics, SDA regular ‘Kenji`, an SF Bay resident, posted this shocking comment:
The impact of all this BAD public policy toward our children? My 1st Grade Teacher wife just completed comprehensive testing for her kids. 60% are behind grade level and 20% are TWO grades behind. Yes … you can actually be two grades behind in 1st Grade. The kids cannot even do work expected of TK students … Transitional Kindergarten. What do they need to know? Things like words that Rhyme.
So, 80% of her students are behind Grade level. This is something like her 30th year of teaching and NEVER … EVER … have her students been so far behind. Quite literally … my 2-1/2yo grandson has better language skills than 20% of her 6yo students.
So, 80% of her students will probably never catch up to grade level. And these are mostly poor *ahem* “urban” children … who will claim that it’s the white man’s biased curriculum that is at fault. So the UNIONISTAS will demand a further lowering of academic standards because equity or something. And the divide between Gavin Newsom’s privately educated children and 80% of California’s children will widen further.
The people responsible for these policies should be in prison. Politicizing our children’s … err, YOUR children’s education and health should be a criminal offense.
Hoping an intrepid journalist, like @KimIversenShow, @megynkelly, or @AlexBerenson would be willing to explore this further!

Bonus: Awhile back, this video about the massacre (execution) of Canadian soldiers on June 6, 1944 was shared here on SDA. The SS Commander, Kurt Meyer, was later charged with war crimes for this incident. There’s a follow-up video of how other Canadian soldiers, in the days following, sought retribution against this SS Division.
What I didn’t realize until yesterday afternoon, when I added this bonus material, is that during the 75th Anniversary of D-Day (2019), I happened upon a beautiful ceremony in Bretteville-l’Orgueilleuse when local French townspeople personally thanked members of the Regina Rifle Regiment. For you, dear readers, I’ve uploaded the photos & videos I captured that day.

On the Ground at London’s Western University
Further to OJ’s post this morning, SDA regular Denise wrote that she was at the protest. Here’s what she shared:
Less than two weeks before classes begin, London’s Western University (formerly The University of Western Ontario) mandated three Covid shots, the ONLY university in Canada to do so. Students held an #EnoughIsEnoughWestern rally on Saturday: great speakers and wonderful energy, but what struck me most were the many sad, serious, young faces. These aren’t the best years of their lives, and Western just made it worse.
Update: Andrew Lawton reported on the protest.

That’ll show Putin!
Most wars start out with the widespread belief that victory will be quick and easy. When things drag on with no prospect of victory, the economic damage eventually forces some sort of reckoning. It looks like the price of that reckoning is getting steeper by the minute.
As of Friday, 70% of capacity is offline across the continent, according to Fertilizers Europe, representing top regional producers.
“The current crisis begs for a swift and decisive action from EU and national policymakers for both energy and fertilizer market,” Jacob Hansen, director general of Fertilizers Europe, said in a statement.
Producers from Norway’s Yara International ASA to CF Industries to Borealis AG recently reduced or halted production because European NatGas prices hit a record high of 343 euros per megawatt hour, making it uneconomical to operate.

YLE News- Finnish firm warns of toilet paper shortage as energy costs wipe out production
Metsä Tissue has previously announced temporary production stoppages at its plants in Germany and Slovakia earlier this year, and the situation has deteriorated further since then.
The company sells its products under various brands — including Lambi and Serla — and has a total of nine paper mills in Europe.
Is The Doctor Always Correct?
Apparently not:
Here’s a non-medical diagnosis: Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) and DeSantis Derangement Syndrome (DSDS) appear to impair the logic portion of the human brain, as well as shut down human conscience altogether.
In his related substack article, Dr. Prasad writes:
The facts are simple. The AAP initially put forth the right decision, “recommending that education leaders and policymakers “should start with a goal of having students physically present in school” by fall of 2020.
Then Trump famously voiced his full-throated support for reopening schools 100% by the fall, and cited the AAP report as evidence he was correct. (For the record: Trump was correct about this one issue).
The AAP immediately began walking back support for children. The AAP president said, “local coronavirus infection rates and hot spots have to be taken into consideration to safely reopen schools.” But, this was inaccurate. European experience showed that reopening was possible irrespective of local infection rates; Kids could benefit from school, even in places with high spread, and schools could safely reopen even there.

Dangerous
Demonstrations at woke Canadian universities is a common thing. Protests by Marxists, abortion groups, Palestinians etc. are encouraged. You can even toss paint on statues, tear them down, and rename universities. However organize a protest against Trudeau’s vaccines, and its called dangerous. Why there might even be a bouncy castle.

A few weeks ago I was exploring Amarillo’s historic Route 66 neighbourhood and came across this store. Inside I discovered a large colour poster featuring a man in an RCMP uniform and a pretty woman beside him. It turned out to be promoting the 1936 film, Rose Marie, set in the Canadian wilderness. Lo and behold, the film is online!
