Reply to comment by k1lk1 in Brooklyn’s library moves to slip books through red state bans by King-of-New-York

It’s sad that you think this is a zero sum game where if they help someone else, it means they’re not helping us locals.

That's how spending money works. If you buy one thing, you are by definition not buying something else.

Call me crazy but I'd rather see the money go to assisting, oh, the hundreds of thousands of descendants of slaves, who live in Brooklyn.

Do conservative culture warriors even bother reading the posts before freaking out over this stuff? The cost of providing e-books and other online material for free to young people is negligible, especially considering its already set up for residents.

--edit-- Poor guy got embarrassed for not reading the article before complaining and blocked me.
