Felix Magin (he/him): The worst thing about this argument is that it's not even true. Correct me if I'm wrong, but no stadium was built without public aid.

Libraries are one of the most radical social institutions we have, because they’re based on the idea that *everyone* has the right to information, for free. It’s also what makes them crucial to democracy. I will never stop yelling about this!

Poor people use libraries. Rich people shut them down because they don't *want* poor people to read.

One of my professors said: If libraries hadn't been around for centuries already, it would be impossible to open one now. Publishers would never allow it.

Yeah! So many people wouldn't allow it.

The worst thing about this argument is that it's not even true. Correct me if I'm wrong, but no stadium was built without public aid.

Right? I don't know if that's accurate for *every* stadium but it sure is for a lot of them.
