Is flying safe with all the recent news about panels and tires falling off planes?
It’s been 15 years since the last deadly crash of a U.S. airliner, but recent flight problems in the last three months have been making headlines. In the past, issues like cracked windshields and minor engine problems didn't usually make the news. However, this changed after a panel covering the space intended for an unused emergency door blew off an Alaska Airlines jetliner in January. Concerns about air safety, particularly with Boeing planes, have continued. U.S. airline executives are seeking information on how Boeing plans to address issues with its 737 Max jets. So, is flying becoming more dangerous? By the roughest measure, the answer is no.

Germany’s plan to loosen restrictions on cannabis passes its final vote in parliament
The German government’s plan to loosen rules on cannabis has passed its final parliamentary hurdle, paving the way for the possession of limited amounts of marijuana to be decriminalized on April 1. In a second step, “cannabis clubs” that will be allowed to grow the substance for members’ personal use will be permitted to start work on July 1. The legislation, a prominent reform project of Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s government, was approved by parliament’s lower house last month. But its fate in the upper house, which represents Germany’s 16 state governments and where Scholz’s socially liberal coalition lacks a majority, was unclear. Opponents failed Friday to muster a majority to delay the plan.
