You just have to give it to Markus S., a citizen of Nuremberg. And acknowledge it without envy: government declaration – and bang, then they all rotate in their editorial offices. What, how, where?
Yes, yes: magnetic levitation train in Nuremberg-South, super smart and super casual. Did not know? But one could have thought of it: In the future, the coolest, most futuristic, simply saddest university under the sun should be connected. The Technical University of Nuremberg, the new TUN, super term by the way. DO like: do.
For all the imitators: You can only say a maximum of three or four sentences about the big things in a government statement like this. It just has to be fat, really fat. The rest is mental cinema. After that, those from the dark side, the curmudgeons and those with concerns, should take over. It is well known that there are enough of them in Nuremberg in particular. Franks.
And of course they’re annoying again with their detailed nonsense. If a tram from the city center via the TUN, the trade fair to the Südklinikum has long been planned, and pretty consistently, as befits a tram – what exactly is the advantage of it, halfway there for them to have to change to a suspension railway for the remaining four kilometers? And what exactly should the new Super-TUN be connected to? To the South Hospital?
Small minds, that was to be expected. And of course the really smart ones are bringing up a completely different route on which a suspension railway in Nuremberg could even make sense: from the Nordostbahnhof on the historic Ringbahn, which is not used for passenger traffic, south of Knoblauchsland to Fürth. Not only would this route be four kilometers long, there would even be a need. And changing instead of driving through wouldn’t be the most prominent advantage there.
Fly leg counter, as I said. Should the Prime Minister seriously use the terms Nordostbahnhof, Knoblauchsland and, horribile dictu, Fürth in his government declaration after the super election victory – instead of those Franconian University of Artificial Intelligence pending connection to a large hospital? There are people who will never learn.
