Flippin’ Libtards strike again..
The plain fact is, there is tons of older equipment out on the used market for pennies, and I do mean pennies on the dollar.
The problem is *gasp* the wouldbe internet user has to learn how to work on the hardware and install software that works on those older boxes and laptops, that would be marketable skill to earn, yet “Nanny” cannot have the peasantry learning how to make Linux or some old Microsoft OS work that would removed the need for “Nanny”.
30 dollars/free linux distro/wireless hotspot..
Those folks are psycho like Kathy Bates in Misery, once they come in contact, they never want you to leave.
And once "they pay" for it they have the right to dictate the contents...for the greater good, of course.
She needs advice from The Fisher of Men.
No ‘net’ needed.
FREE!!! at the taxpayers expence with strings attached, government internet browser so they can monitor you!
So when the power goes out their rights are being violated? Left-wing nimrods piss me off.
I noticed that too. I had no idea the population had skyrocketed all of a sudden.
If it is a constitutional right then it must be a constitutional right to read.I would suggest the liberals concentrate on all the literacy failures THEIR schools produce..THEN we can worry about library access
Here's what it will look like, right before the computers are headed for the street for sale to fund crack habits....
Those silly Obama supporters: always counting dead people.
yeesh. they will call it “cash for internet porn”.
Libraries are funded by state and local governments. Obama will further drain their coffers with unfunded medicaid mandates. No libraries = Obama’s fault.
Have you been your nearest public lib? The keyboards are freakin’ gross. A friend of mine who uses them brings a small vial of anti-bacterial with him whenver he goes to the library.
Free, Free, Free, Free, Free,....for all 600 trillion Americans citizens....paid for, of course, by the 30 working stiffs left in the country!
I often wondered how many Americans lived in the additional 7 states that Obama talked about. They must all be Californias and New Yorks. I wonder how I missed them all these years. Obama's so brilliant, I don't even have to think anymore. Thank you Allah for Barack Hussein Obama, mmm, mmm, mmm!
> free internet access is the latest “found” new right of everyone
A “right” traditionally meant something the government could NOT take away from you. The libs have twisted the meaning of words to mean a right is something that must be provided for you. Of course, a tacit part of that twisting is that the government must take from one citizen by force (i.e., tax) in order to provide the newfound right to the other citizen.
Ummmm....when did our population get to 1.X billion? Is this a prediction or...another brilliant Government 'statistic'?
Remind her that the Fascist education system is producing fewer and fewer people who can read and therefore do not need a library.
“Free” internet access.... of which the contents will be determined by Marxists, and will provide a new source of tax revenue for same.
I think this is just a mis-statement of "there were 1.2 billion visits by Americans to the library." That would be about right for me, low for my wife.
