A largely unasked question is becoming glaring: Is Illinois doing all it should to use artificial intelligence to make government cost less and work better? So far, the evidence says no.
The Public Library, an anachronism going the way of Blockbuster Video.
Google is faster than a Dewey Decimal card search any day. I didn’t say better, just faster.
Cheaper, too. No building costs, no salaries, no pensions, no political animal skim from the levies. Sounds good to me.
The doped-up perv crowd (along with Illinois NGO-funded paid protestors) will express outrage at the closures, as the doped-up pervs (and NGO-paid protestors) will have to watch porn and smoke dope elsewhere.
I don’t think anyone under 50 even uses the libraries anymore.
Not true. Libraries have become the new hangout for today’s gender non-conforming teens. 30 years ago the punks and freak teenagers smoked cigarettes and drank coffee all night at Denny’s and discussed the ennui of living in the sterile suburbs.
These same kids today aren’t even cool. They are ‘gender non-conforming’ instead of punk rock. They are pumped up with a cocktail of SSRIs, cannabis and ritalin. They hang out in the teen section of the libraries, where the communist revolutionary staff uses public money to cater to their reprehensible morality and belief systems.
… And homeless locked in toilet stalls or watching porn on public computers.
