Monorails, Magnet- und Seilbahnen: Gadgetbahnen oder sinnvolle Systeme?
Magnetbahnen und Monorails werden oft als „Gadgetbahnen“ verspottet. Doch viele dieser Spezialsysteme haben ihre Berechtigung – wenn der Einsatzzweck stimmt.

Today, much of the Inyo Mountains is Bureau of Land Management (BLM) land.

It was all starting to feel like a good old-fashioned something-gate,
the kind of scandal that might even bring down a presidency.
But then, as with so many other stories in the era of Trump, its spark was subsumed by a new fire.
On 28 February, Trump launched an unprovoked and likely illegal war against Iran,
and the Epstein files were once again pushed off the front pages.
