Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal, a smart fellow if not yet a wise...
...also recommend to my friends to invest in Berlin," she says. "The prices you get here won't stay for long." And Technau and his friends aren't going to back down either: "We'll continue to speak up, until something will change." Seems like Berlin has to brace itself for a long battle...
