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!
I would definitely patronize the Sex Cauldron
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
Data Centers
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.
Ask yourself a simple question: What will make you more money?
Where the fuck did I put my library card...
NOTE: You still have to be very quiet, so don't forget the ball gag.
That's just common courtesy!

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.
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.

Wow, I'm going to the wrong library. Where is this library?
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.
And Republicans just believe it because none of them have ever been to a library before
Damn, I need to start going to my library more often
You can rent movies and games from the library too! It's totally worth it.
I'm playing Pokémon Ultra Sun while watching season 2 of Once Upon A Time. Checked out both from the library. Love my local library 📚 🐲
My local library rents specialty tools/pans for baking!
Nice!

Fox is going woke now, lol. I think they're talking about Libertarianism though.
Which ones. Are any local to me?
It's limited, so you have to sign up in advance.
Step 1 of the plan to close all public libraries in the US.
Think of the money they can save, and give tax cuts to the Sociopathic Oligarchs. No sense wasting knowledge on people who are only going to die in slave labor camps anyway.
I am only am realising now that "the 7" was probably also parodying "the 5”.
If only that were true. sigh
You know this isn't true because Republicans want to defund them lol
Which libraries specifically? So I can avoid them of course.
Did fox really report that? I mean I would believe it because fox viewers are absolute morons but I can't tell whats satire anymore

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.
That sounds like a moral and ethical failure than a institutional one. It should be rational that you'd want to copulate in a private environment, not where you are likely to be disturbed or outright attacked.
