    So a private company has a contract to manage public libraries and they cut staff and pensions to reduce labor costs. I really doubt any pension programs are going to survive much longer and it's a shame the governments would rather fire everyone and transfer control to private entities than stop offering pensions.

          That isn't new. Libraries where I live have been paying per loan for ebooks ever since they became a thing, which makes them far more expensive than physical books.

    “Privatize everything, privatize the sea and the sky, privatize the sea and the sky, privatize justice and the law, privatize the passing cloud, privatize the dream, especially if it’s during the day and open eyed. And finally, for the embellishment of so many privatizations, privatize the States, surrender once and for all their exploitation to private companies through international share offering. There lies the salvation of the world… and, while you’re at it, privatize your whore mothers.”

    ― José de Sousa Saramago
