Unless it’s a service animal, I don’t like when dogs are in public buildings. Tired of trying to buy food at the grocery store but having to dodge dogs and avoid stepping over their leashes. This anger is mostly directed at their owners as I’m skittish around dogs I don’t know.
I think this generally true. Americans have very high rates of nonliteracy and many are practically anti-literate (I’ve met a few!).
How do they even rationalize this? I mean, other than by going "i have the attention span of a fruitfly with ADHD, therefore books bad"
Perhaps schooling methods inculcate in them to think of books as work or lack of access especially as children to public libraries or adult life might have a deficit of time and energy to sit down and read something longer than a listicle
