They're       one of       the few public spaces left in our society where you're allowed to exist without       the expectation of spending money."              https://imgur.com/gallery/sXl9oR7                     "America was the first socialist country.., public education, free libraries,       public policing and fire fighting and of subsidized railroad"              "Same for public waterworks, public roads, public parks, fire and police       departments."                     "There was a time when rich people wanted to make the world better for       everyone.       Now they want to go to space watch people die."              "I'm so glad public libraries already exist. Imagine trying to sell the idea       of       libraries to politicians in 2021: 'You want to build a large public complex on       prime real estate that gives away free books & education & community events -       paid       for by our tax dollars? Are you crazy??'"              --- SoupGate-DOS v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
