How would anyone from Fox “News” know this? They haven’t been to a library since they burned the one in Alexandria down.
I don’t think we’re talking about love here. We are talking about S-E-X in front of the C-H-I-L-D-R-E-N!
Sex Cauldron? I thought they closed that place down!
Libraries are another example of a purely Socialist concept that is woven into our “Democratic” society, so this is their chance to demonize libraries in their defamation of Socialism before the Midterms. Museums are next.
When they do that, remind them that nothing is more Socialist than the Fire Department, which was originally a private operation, until the citizens made it a socialist municipal mainstay. Do they want to get rid of the Fire Department, just because it is Socialist? How about public parks? How about State or National Parks?
Pretty sure the Trump admin has been making cuts to the national forest service, the supposed goal is to weaken oversight and boost resource extraction. I could easily see them thinking a forest burning down is a great thing - more room for data centers.
So yes, they probably would try to get rid of fire departments. Fortunately, though, most of them are locally funded - so they don’t really get to make that decision on the federal level.
I’d really like to see the capitalist Fire Brigade, if only to see Terry Pratchett proven right once again.
Ankh-Morpork no longer had a fire brigade. The citizens had a rather disturbingly direct way of thinking at times, and it did not take long for people to see the rather obvious flaw in paying a group of people by the number of fires they put out. The penny really dropped shortly after Charcoal Tuesday.
― Terry Pratchett, Jingo
Ask yourself a simple question: What will make you more money?
They absolutely do want to get rid of state and national parks, though. There’s valuable minerals on some of that land, and other land that can be repurposed for grazing cattle. They’re whittling it away as fast as they can already.
They also want to build on it. Billionaires need someplace nice for their 10th home away from us poors
And the only reason the minerals there are valuable is because they’ve sucked the life out of all the available zones.
All to drive a lifestyle that was impracticle and unaffordable from the start.
Where the fuck did I put my library card…
Wow, I’m going to the wrong library. Where is this library?
Now they come for libraries, the last source of true information. Once those are gone, history is what they say and reality is what they say.
NOTE: You still have to be very quiet, so don’t forget the ball gag.
That’s just common courtesy!
My balls did not consent to being used as a gag
You might want to reread the contract you signed when you got that library card
Fox is going woke now, lol. I think they’re talking about Libertarianism though.
The reason fox news is able to make wild claims about libraries is because its viewers haven’t stepped foot in a library since they were in elementary school.
Wait until they find out you can do early voting at the Library.
I was wondering how long it would take them to attack libraries. FREE books, internet access, and air conditioning?
More specifically, true information is communism. Don’t you know history is what the white man says it is? Google has already updated their search results to reflect revisionist history. Once the libraries are gone, that’s it.
Books?
I can’t read. I go to my library for free comic books, access to digital streaming services, and printing.
Wait, now you can use Libby and borrow books from libraries within hundreds of miles or you…for free? Better end that shit we don’t want people learning anything. Statistically the higher your education level the more likely you are to be a Democrat atheist.
Free and uncensored education? Don’t you realise that’s literally…
It’s limited, so you have to sign up in advance.
If only that were true. sigh
I am only am realising now that “the 7” was probably also parodying "the 5”.
And Republicans just believe it because none of them have ever been to a library before
Libraries are the last sanctuary for the poor and the lost. It used to be the churches. Save all libraries everywhere and build way more.
That’s probably why they are attaching them. Also libraries promote learning.
