Your politicians, along with business leaders, have made sure to remove those places as much as possible.
But I have to ask: Is talking not allowed in American libraries? Cause where I live, libraries are places where you can sit, talk, eat, drink, play board games, and of course read. There's different rooms for different activities.
Some libraries have this in the US, but not all. Also a lot of funding to libraries has been cut over time. Due to this a lot of libraries that once had these features no longer do.
Yeah living in north America be like: gotta pay the microtransactions to have any normal human experience
In my experience it's not like they get mad at you for making any sound, but they wouldn't be happy if you were having a lively chat with friends
Can you give some examples how my politicians have done this?
