Portland is iffy. Right now 4/12 city councillors are DSA members, but by no means revolutionary in their politics. They are slightly better than average libs. Portland's DA was a progressive but got turfed out for a Republican "tough on crime" guy. Former progressive city council members have been literally framed by the police or just faced massive smear campaigns. The mayor is a trucking company CEO who's trying to give extra money to the shitty police department that they didn't even ask for while at the same time cutting the parks budget.

This is probably true in any country that's more than a few hundred years old.

Doctors still get significant on-the-job training. Anyone faking it will be easily weeded out by residency.

PPB got called in first, then they moved into the library after the outdoor encampment got cleared, iirc.

Clearing the outdoor encampment was an unforced error, but the protestors in the library defacing books didn't make them any friends.

It has been my experience that city leaders reflexively accept the false narrative of shopowners and do awful things because of it. (For example: the center-running bikelanes on Valencia in San Francisco.) Or just rip out bike lanes.

Also, as a rule, shop owners always think they lose business from bike lanes. Incredibly frustrating.

Not even that. They won't even try to advance legislation because they'll say any law they pass would be killed by SCOTUS.

Pokemon switching to 3D would have been fine if GameFreak weren't terrible developers.

For now. I expect NYC's recent UL testing requirement for e-mobility batteries will be adopted by more US cities out of a combination of anti-China hysteria and the demographics involved.

This is so cool.
