Spotted the American.

You have very little understanding about city development and planning. Otherwise you'd know that most of the transport corridors that are in use today were started in the Industrialisation period when trams were introduced.

A city with millions of inhabitants can't be explained by looking at the small population in the centre.

Vienna has an amazingly good and inexpensive public transport system and quite good bike routes combined with fairly inexpensive housing due to good city governance over several decades (social democratic party by and large).

The difference between most North American and European cities in terms of availabke transport choices is not what happened hundreds of years ago, but what city planners did in the post war period (50s to 70s).

It's not too late however, if you look at the incredible progress Paris had in the past 5 years.

Trump curious why Iran has not ‘capitulated’ amid U.S. military buildup, says Witkoff

It's bring your child to work day in the US government now every day. Only the child is a geriatric buffoon with the emotional and intellectual complexity of a 3 year old and he's calling all the shots unchallenged by any adult in the room.

Never forget that more than 50 % of the US voters knew exactly what was coming, had previous experience with him fucking things up for 4 years straight and went "yeah, sounds like a solid guy to vote for".

Eine Gasheizung mit Wasserstoff benötigt 5x so viel Energie wie eine Wärmepumpe gleicher Leistung

Weil es mit den Biofuels ja so toll funktioniert hat (die Wähler zu verarschen) probieren die SPD und CDU / CSU das jetzt noch mal für das Heizungsgesetz aus.

In 10 Jahren ist Deutschland ein teures Industriemuseum, das ständig bei der EU lobbyieren muss um die Wähler nicht finanziell mit Preissteigerungen für CO2 Zertifikate zu überfordern und damit die ganze EU zurück hält. Umweltgesetze werden dann nur noch durch Gerichte durchgesetzt. Ach ja, die Erdöl- und Erdgas exportierenden Länder haben uns weiter bei den Eiern. Und Autos und Wärmepumpen kauft man Made in China. Aber immerhin hat man der AfD die Themen weggenommen indem man sie im vorausschauendem Gehorsam einfach selbst so beschlossen hat.

UK may send ships and mine-hunting drones to help open strait of Hormuz, says Miliband

Our self-interest is that Trump gets recked in the Mid-terms so that all the tariff and war madness gets a degree of oversight and setbacks. Reason number one to just let this play out. This will lead to worldwide economic downturn, but an unhinged and unchecked Trump for a further 2/3 years would be even worse for us.

Secondly the Hormuz Strait is not able to be controlled without boots on the ground in Iran. We did not start this war and we should not participate in it in any way.

Instead of participating in the folly, we should use the financial and personal resources to dampen the impact on the economy and speeding up our path to energy independence.

Melania humiliated as UK premiere of her movie gets single-digit ticket sales

UK cinema chain Vue's will premier "Melania" at 3:10 p.m. at its flagship Islington theater in London, but so far only one person has bought a ticket

So Barron is in London right now?

“We licensed the film for one reason and one reason only — because we think customers are going to love it," the Amazon MGM Studios spokesperson said.

Karoline Leavitt has got a new job then I reckon?
