Hairdressers therefore also offer "silent" appointments - not without self-interest.

Criminal judgments in Germany always begin with the words "In the name of the people". And more than 80 percent of the time, they end in a very prosaic way. With an invoice.

There has long been a suspicion that the European Central Bank is more concerned with the welfare of the banks than with the concerns of the citizens. The high rates of inflation put a strain on people, and the currency watchdogs were caught off guard by the high prices.
