not a single specific mention of spotify or amazon but sure yeah it's libraries. i'd be curious to know what - specifically - children's authors royalties would look like without school libraries. it's literally instant sales in the tens of thousands of copies.
this man should be in jail
In public health, you learn an awful lot about people willing to profit off of harms to children. But my jaw is on the floor. It never occurred to me that the sentence “I’ve put a couple kids in the hospital” would ever be followed by the phrase: “But here’s the thing.” @jackiantonovich.bsky.social
There's a surprisingly effective Republican playbook that's hard to unsee once you see it: 1) Enshittify a government service. Add red tape, means-testing, etc. to make it slower, costlier, more annoying for participants. 2) Use its shittiness to justify gutting or privatizing the service.
Imagine if they were fighting for the kind of Public Lending Right setup that's common in other countries, which allows authors to be paid for being in libraries, rather than setting up libraries as the enemy.
This is WILD.
