The column from Intra Logistik
Gerd Müller is not defending our external borders
At a time when America and North Korea aren't talking to each other, the AfD is protesting in the Bundestag, Catalonia no longer wants to be with Spain, Europe's refugee freedom has to be defended in Niger, drone pilots need a driver's license and Bayern Munich is only second when it comes to coaching, there are a lot of things going through your head. Even me. It's not so easy to think clearly.
Speaking of talking. At the German Logistics Congress in Berlin, we will once again have an incredible amount of opportunity to do so. "You can look forward to a cross-industry dialog with more than 3,000 participants from industry, trade, services and science. Dare to think the new and live the digital," writes BVL Chairman Raimund Klinkner in the foreword to the program, and together with the professor, we are certainly curious to see how much oxygen will be converted back into hot CO2 during these three days, when there is already so much of it in the world anyway.
"Carrier pigeons have a lot to carry on the hand-chiseled delivery bills."
Speaking of digital. Now we're all pretending that software and networking and life with digitalization have only existed since tomorrow, and today we're still sending carrier pigeons and carving our delivery bills into stone tablets. As long as we can't print the six-course congress menu from a 3D printer, we will still have to live with delivery vans and produce additional hot CO2 in the discussion on "Prospects for diesel engines in sustainable urban development". And we mustn't forget that although the electricity for all the electric cars comes from the power socket, it also has to crawl into it somehow.
It's good when someone has a Marshall Plan, at least for Africa and at least at discussion level. Among others, HSV success guarantor Klaus-Michael Kühne and a sub-department head from the development aid ministry will take to the podium. The keynote speech will be given by his boss, Gerd Müller. Who is still the development aid minister, not the nation's bomber. What makes me think of the defense of the EU's external borders in Niger?
