    That is a deadly mindset. And there’s a dehumanising element inherently in that, that not only are we not worth it, but that worth itself is a product of wealth.

      That’s my entire point though. The powers that be dont view libraries or even common areas as beneficial or even useful as they don’t line someone’s pockets. I’d say you’d have a solid majority of people off the street would very much like to see their local libraries funded, as would I, yet more often than not they’re the first on the chopping block when fund cuts make their rounds.
