'makes government fund them more' .. 'rent cds and games and movies'
(So, they're socialist BS that destroyed legit rental businesses with taxpayer money.)
Yeah, and hopefully their streaming services can put the little hometown Netflix out of business… and don’t get me started on their streaming services competing with ‘lil Bezos’ Audible…
I refuse to believe that this is not a really weak troll.
Honestly that might describe their whole account.
Ah yes! It was libraries that killed my good ol’ hometown Blockbuster Video. It certainly could not have been market forces reacting to technological innovation to birth a multitude of subscription rental businesses available through increasingly faster internet connections.
Curse you libraries! You killed all the bookstores. And record shops too! Is there no end to your socialist devilry. Everyday I thank the gods that we haven’t socialized education. Such a thing would destroy the livelihoods of the great tutors who taught each of us our letters and numbers.
Yeah and totally not the rise of streaming and on-demand services
Read the room dude wtf
"legit" lol
Oh no.
That sounds rad as hell, but also not particularly the case.
Those rental businesses went out of business well before libraries were generally offering non-book media rentals...
