It's important to remember this photo--that's former gov Lester Maddox, watching Jimmy Carter take Georgia oath of office. Maddox is famous for keeping an axe handle in his restaurant and as campaign symbol--"ni***r knocker"

In 1958, an earth destroying biological disaster was averted by capturing the invasive consuming organism and setting it in the Arctic. But comes this warning from 66 years ago--"at least we've got it stopped." "Yes, as long as the Arctic stays cold."

This, but for transit. Most of the people in charge of transit in the US never use it. They consider it charity, a jobs program or transportation of last resort.
I've told this story before on the bird site, but I'll share it here.

Ask local candidates for office if they have a library card. In a past job, none of them had library cards, and consequently, and unsurprisingly, kept trying to cut library funding.

Ask. Ask if they use the library at all.
I’m a public librarian in a degenerating democracy, and I am pleading: Care about your library. Use it. See what programs and events it offers. And pay attention to its governing body. See who the trustees are. Consider running yourself. Libraries will need all the community support they can get. 📚
