They hate libraries because it's part of education. They are seeking to dismantle education so people have no choice but to either pay out they ass to send kids to their religious school because the government vouchers don't cover the full cost or have to forgo education entirely and might as well send the kid to work because of relaxed child labor laws and rising costs of everything.

Or hear me out. Maybe we don't give money to tyrants who kill their people who criticizing the government. It's a crazy, novel idea, I know, but it's possible.

Here's a taste of their plan.

"Unaccountable federal spending is the secret lifeblood of the Great Awokening. Nearly every power center held by the Left is funded or supported, one way or another, through the bureaucracy by Congress. Colleges and school districts are funded by tax dollars. The Administrative State holds 100 percent of its power at the sufferance of Congress, and its insulation from presidential discipline is an unconstitutional fairy tale spun by the Washington Establishment to protect its turf. Members of Congress shield themselves from constitutional accountability often when the White House allows them to get away with it. Cultural institutions like public libraries and public health agencies are only as "independent" from public accountability as elected officials and voters permit."

"Pornography, manifested today in the omnipresent propagation of transgender ideology and sexualization of children, for instance, is not apolitical Gordian knot inextricably binding up disparate claims about free speech, property rights, sexual liberation, and child welfare. It has no claim to First Amendment protection. Its purveyors are child predators and misogynistic exploiters ofwomen. Their product is as addictive as any illicit drug and as psychologically destructive as any crime. Pornography should be outlawed. The people who produce and distribute it should be imprisoned. Educators and public librarians who purvey it should be classed as registered sex offenders.

And telecommunications and technology firms that facilitate its spread should be shuttered. In our schools, the question of parental authority over their children's education is a simple one: Schools serve parents, not the other way around. That is, of course, the best argument for universal school choice-a goal all conservatives and con- servative Presidents must pursue. But even before we achieve that long-term goal, parents' rights as their children's primary educators should be non-negotiable in American schools. States, cities and counties, school boards, union bosses, princi- pals, and teachers who disagree should be immediately cut off from federal funds.

The noxious tenets of "critical race theory" and “gender ideology" should be excised from curricula in every public school in the country. These theories poison our children, who are being taught on the one hand to affirm that the color of their skin fundamentally determines their identity and even their moral status while on the other they are taught to deny the very creatureliness that inheres in being human and consists in accepting the givenness of our nature as men or women.

Allowing parents or physicians to "reassign" the sex of a minor is child abuse and must end. For public institutions to use taxpayer dollars to declare the superiority or inferiority of certain races, sexes, and religions is a violation of the Constitu- tion and civil rights law and cannot be tolerated by any government anywhere in the country."

Holy fuck. What. I read through the articles on this and they don't touch on much of what it actually says. Most of it is just quotes. But the guardian has this bit about them dismantling the EPA and, among other things, making it illegal for the EPA to raise emission restrictions.

You've gotta be kidding. Wtf. Isn't there anyone who can effectively fight to maintain our environment?

Exactly! The studios could end this now by simply actually coming to the table. But they've decided a fraction of a percent of their profit is more important than giving people the fair wages they earned.

Oh, I really like it.

Hmm... Part of it for me can be psychological. If I know this thing has made me throw up, I'm more likely to do so quicker the next time. Can you distract yourself while sipping?

You also said that the next doctor wouldn't be available for two weeks anyway. Have you called and explained the situation? Maybe added how much weight you've lost and how quickly do they can understand how dire this is?

How quickly are you eating/drinking? It's not quite the same, but when my oldest was a baby and throwing up, we were told to only give her a tablespoon of Pedialyte every 15 minutes. Maybe (if you aren't already) you could try small sips every ten to fifteen minutes and see how that goes. Another comment suggested Pedialyte will taste better than Gatorade which I agree with. I've drank it myself to hydrate. The cherry is pretty nice.

They could also be one of those people who thinks talking about racism of any form means that automatically all white people are the ones being racist and that helping specifically anyone of any specific race is racist against white people.

Huh, I looked through your article. It didn't mention anything about people staying on food stamps in order to not work. Given that grocery costs have sky rocketed in recent years, I hardly think that the $300 some odd makes people want to not work, especially coupled with the fact that non-disabled people are required to take any reasonable job and work 30 hours a week. Interesting source for your comment.
