    And underfunded and steadily becoming fewer in number. Information should be free regardless of its source.

      I recently read that there are more libraries than fats food restaurants (in the US), so seems like libraries are doing just fine.

      Information, like everything, costs money. If you don’t pay for journalism, someone will and they will control the information. That or garbage LLM generated sites riddled with malware.

      Journalists are workers and deserve a living wage.

        Yeah… we’re gonna need a source on that. In my small town there are zero libraries, and about 200 fast food joints. I’ve never lived in a city with more than a few libraries, and those with more than 1 are college towns.
