Oh it’s on my shoulders alone?

It’ll never happen.

And how do we apply the pressure and what’s the collective action…? Y’all are right there…

You need to understand that the quality of a man, and by extension an organization, is determined by how much they cost to buy.

Our government will continue to do whatever it wants until the people act. Violence or stopping the flow of money, those are our only options and both require sacrifice that I fear most people aren’t ready to for.

They enlisted.

Yup. MLS or MLIS.

You need to gain support then you can enact change.

It’s disheartening to see a system’s flaw, see why the system persists, know how to fix the system and also know that the fix is impossible because people are how they are.

Support then change.

Librarians require a master’s and make like $34k a year.

I appreciate the spirit, but the average person will keep giving their money to these shitty companies.

ERIE.

Me too so I’m calling out your bullshit in order to keep this place nice.

You’re almost getting it…

I’m not a troll. Just because you don’t like what I’m saying doesn’t discredit what I’ve said. You can be done though. Best of luck to your friends.

It absolutely does, but maybe not in the expected/intended way.

I’ve been thinking of getting into this, but I’ve never had what’s considered a good cup of coffee so I have no idea what I’m looking for in terms of taste. Either way thanks for taking the time to write this up!

No I’m pretty sure I’m right about their lifestyle. Your reply confirms it. People assume their level of wealth and comfort is the baseline. Being close to their friends and hospitals is their justification for inaction. You are right in trying to get them to move though. A million dollars goes a lot farther in Alabama than in New York.

One teaches boundaries about what is and isn’t appropriate while the other emboldens stupidity.
