I observe that you don't answer the question.
Pay your bills.
"pay your bills" is not an answer to "am I supposed to be ignorant if I can't pay my bills?"
Libraries are free.
Assuming that libraries work flawlessly and are actually as available as your broken (and unupdated at time of writing) link suggests they are to everyone and that everyone's access is equivalent, disregarding the fact that libraries are only free at the time of purchase and actually are paid for by the taxes eating my check, forgetting for the moment that libraries are free so what's wrong with my accessing this for free, ignoring the broken governmental system doing its goddamndest to shut down libraries across the country for the little good they actually do-
Libraries are everything I said and much much more, but I'm sure you'll be pleased to know the big city library (not incidentally, I'm not supposed to have access to the big city library online catalogue anymore since I don't live there) has access to a couple of databases that allow access to an... eclectic collection of such well-known and respectable news journals as the Agence France-Presse, the South China Morning Post, and who could forget the Las Vegas Review-Journal. What about the local library, I hear you choosing not to ask? Why, no, it doesn't have access to such databases. I checked.
It's news. It's free. You get what you pay for at the library I and my three library cards find.
Cool
Libraries are broken, and that's cool? Your (poor, lazy, privileged) answer to not being ignorant because poor being broken is "Cool".
Cool, bro. Very Cool.
You seem upset.
You seem like you would like it if that were true.
I just don't care that much, tbh.
ok melania
