    Public libraries are one of the greatest assets the U.S. has. They don’t just provide 100% free books, movies and music, both in the library and streaming along with free and usually unrestricted internet, meeting rooms and places for children to go, they also have all sorts of other services. My local library has 3D printers free for use. They have kits you can take out like musical instruments to learn to play. A new branch is opening and they will have a sign-up sheet for one person at a time to use a free shower and washer/dryer.

    But sure, it’s all homeless people using fentanyl. You’re exactly the sort of person who came to library board meetings to object to the shower and washer/dryer because it will encourage “them.”
