I won’t be surprised when public libraries go private in many places. It was already attempted in Fresno. And public school libraries are already being shut down.

Conservatives don’t believe in public services or public education.

    In our state we have Geico insurance company running the interstate rest stops and Amazon teaching lessons in public schools. Very few people seem to have a problem with it. People love money and stuff and don't care about the motivations behind it.
