This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Regarding libraries, this is such a socialist idea, that enriches society and educates the people. I wonder why no one thought to defund them, because think of the lost profits for companies like Amazon, etc. /s
Republicans absolutely have tried and are trying to defund librairies.
And have succeeded. In the stupidest ways. I can't find the article since there are so many fucking attempts, but there was one where they got rid of the library's funding in the only public room in town big enough to hold the meeting on getting rid of the library's funding: the library's meeting room.
