But why would a democrat leader let their city be destroyed?

The big lie, "transitioning" to cheap, green, renewable energy (solar and wind). There is no transition. The growth in fossil fuel energy is larger than the growth in renewables. Trillions spent for expensive, dirty and non-reliable renewables. If the greens were actually serious about the environment rather than communism, we would have a large nuclear energy program and fracking and sending liquid natural gas to Asia to replace coal production. But, they aren't.

THERE IS NO TRANSITION
We are told constantly that the world is in the midst of a transition from fossil fuels to “green” energy. “News” outlets commonly report this as fact. But in reality, no such transition is underway, nor will it ever be.
Robert Bryce, one of the country’s top energy experts, explains; see original for links:
[T]he hard truth is this: the energy transition isn’t. The numbers from the just-released Statistical Review of World Energy show, once again, that despite rapid growth in wind and solar, those two forms of energy are not even keeping pace with the growth in hydrocarbons. That’s true both globally and in the U.S.
[I]n absolute terms, hydrocarbon consumption grew by 110 exajoules, (EJ), while wind and solar grew by just 32 EJ. Thus, the growth in hydrocarbon use over that time frame was 3.4 times faster than what was seen in wind and solar.
And here’s the key point: hydrocarbons are prevailing despite staggering amounts of spending on wind and solar. According to a January report by Bloomberg New Energy Finance, some $6.7 trillion was spent on alt-energy globally between 2004 and 2022, with the vast majority of that, some $4.8 trillion spent on renewables. And the vast majority of that $4.8 trillion — about $4.1 trillion — was spent on wind and solar.
How about the U.S.?
According to BNEF, between 2004 and 2022, U.S. spending on wind and solar totaled some $591 billion. Despite that massive investment, as can be seen in the graphic above, just the growth — repeat, just the growth — in natural gas consumption in 2022 was twice the growth in wind and solar combined. Coal demand fell by 0.7 EJ. Oil use grew by 0.6 EJ and gas grew by 1.6 EJ. Thus, the net growth in hydrocarbon use in the U.S. in 2022 was 1.5 EJ, or 1.9 times the growth seen in wind and solar combined. …
Domestic gas use in 2022 jumped by a whopping 5.4% and hit a record 85.3 billion cubic feet per day. In March, the Energy Information Administration reported that gas consumption set monthly records in 9 of 12 months in 2022. Not only did annual use hit a new record, but the U.S. also set a new record for daily high demand.
Bryce points out that 2022 was no anomaly. On the contrary, in 2021 the growth in hydrocarbons in the U.S. exceeded the increase in wind and solar by a whopping 5.7 times.
There never will be a transition to “green” energy because wind and solar just don’t work. A large majority of the time, they produce nothing. There could be a transition someday, but if so it will be to nuclear energy: -

The Throbber doesn't necessarily have issue with a private enterprise enforcing security. If you don't like it, go to the Chevron down the street. Odds are the Portland Jackson store has the same 20 fucks coming in and ripping them off.
"Sorry, Antifa basement dweller, you've fucked around stealing merchandise for too long. Stay out."
The issue is when such surveillance and identification equipment is used by the government to entrap or otherwise limit their rights (ie social credit scoring).

Hangin in the Keys. Like how they party here! So this picture was my first day. Yesterday there was a boat flying a Fuck Biden flag. I could get used to this.
