What's happening to America ?
Philadelphia Free Library System is shutting down
Picture an entire city, a modern, wealthy place, in the richest country in the world, in which the vital services provided by libraries are withdrawn due to political brinksmanship and an unwillingness to spare one banker's bonus worth of tax-dollars to sustain an entire region's connection with human culture and knowledge and community.
Think of it and ask yourself what has happened to America.
IMO: America recovered (UTAP) from Joe McCarthy but can it recover yet again from its mistakes, or is it by now like a punch drunk boxer, and is this really going to be the end ? Many Americans do not even want effective health care for the nation and nowadays any free society should have at least that. Lack of healthcare and lack of education will turn Americans into slaves of a Nazi self-perpetuating overclass and the American dream will be no more.
