An alternative to capitalism is possible, at least in comic books
A wave of recent comics focuses on facilitating the understanding of economics and denouncing labor exploitation and its social, environmental, and mental health consequences

Baby, your uncle isn't a conservative. He just doesn't like black people. That's a racist.

I've never heard a story about someone stealing books from a Little Library to sell.
I've heard LOTS of stories about people stealing books from a Little Library to DESTROY them because they didn't like the contents and/or wanted to push fundamentalist Christian books in their place.

I once taught a whole lesson on the narratives of deservedness in the very strange concept of “stealing” books from something conspicuously branded as a “free” little library. The students struggled with it. A lot of internalized beliefs about poverty and worth. But I think it was a good lesson.
If you are concerned about people swiping books from your little free library and reselling those books, I ask you to go to your local used bookstore and sell a book

The fascists don't care if we're getting sick and dying, so long as we don't KNOW we're getting sick and dying.
After two infants died, the Louisiana Dept of Health under the leadership of the new incoming deputy director of the CDC, delayed notifying the public for months of a whooping cough outbreak. Instead, he ordered DOH to stop promoting vaccines. Pertussis is currently a national health crisis.
Louisiana officials waited months to warn public of whooping cough outbreak
After a whooping cough outbreak killed two infants, Louisiana health officials waited months to officially alert physicians or do public outreach. That's not the typical public health response.

I am an archaeologist. The federal and state laws that apply to the work I do state that anything more than 50 years old is historic. That means pull tab cans are historic. I drank out of pull tab cans as a kid. Now, I have to record them as historic. It is painful.
