    Now hear me out before I get stabbed. Libraries shouldn’t have to provide this service. In fact I wish more libraries were specialized in locking down their systems to be only used for knowledge gathering. Think a terminal that an only access reliable web sources for information.

    We need a separate public space for free Internet access. Most libraries see funding hits because they are used as resources for the less fortunate to get back on their feet.

    Large metro libraries right now sort of act as a “get a job center” which the unfortunate fact is drives off anyone else who wants to use the library for it’s actual resources. And also puts other costs on the library.



  • This to a certain extent extent is what we should be doing with housing. We’ve got a huge problem with elderly Care and who’s going to take care of them and where the money is coming from. And we’ve got a huge problem with rent going out of control going into people’s pockets that aren’t going to use the money for anything. Why aren’t rents just going to pay towards people’s elderly Care I don’t understand.

    We should use housing to lift up those who came before us and can’t carry as much as their own anymore as well as enriching those who come into replace them.

    We pay for your retirement. We get the house. Then those after us pay for our retirement. The cycle continues.
