    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

        The original capitalist fire brigade were local companies that a business owner or homeowner could pay to come and put out a fire. They were given a cast iron plaque, called a “Fire Mark,” to put on their building, next to the door. When the fire brigade showed up, and there was no Fire Mark, they’d just watch the building burn down, unless the owner paid immediately.

        When cities decided that was a terrible system, those fire brigade companies morphed into the first insurance companies, and they’ve been parasites on our lives ever since.

      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.

    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.

    Sign me up! lol. I can’t get an erection. I’ve been to my local library a few times, and they have little rooms you can rent for private meetings and whatnot. Definitely heard a couple fuck in one of those, once.
