Libraries can't afford e-books. D.C. lawmakers have a plan.
The demand and price for e-books is up — and it’s busting the D.C. Public Library budget.

In particular, the part around 13:30, about how ordinary people feel abandoned by local and state officials, and are left doing what they can—not much—to show solidarity with their neighbors, knowing local authorities will not protect them.

For any elected official who needs to hear this, I impart a lesson learned from the NFL:
When the other team is tired and on the back foot, you don’t call a timeout so they can catch their breath. You grind their fucking face into the dirt until the final whistle blows and you’ve won the game.
