Perry: This St. Patrick’s Day, don’t forget Irish music’s anti-fascist roots
Dropkick Murphys, the iconic Irish American punk band, are headlining a free block party March 6 near where Alex Pretti was killed by immigration agents, contributing columnist David M. Perry writes.
NEW “We’re celebrating a tradition that is at its core about resisting occupation and maintaining community in the face of horrors. You can’t keep politics out of Irish music. No one should try, for two reasons. First, it’s ahistorical. Second, Minnesotans are ready for a big anti-fascist party.”

Our profit from the post office is the post office.
Our profit from a library is the library.
Our profit from a school is the school."

"From the perspective of capital, enslaved is the most efficient thing a person can be. And, since our Federal [government] is actively opposed to all other kinds of efficiency imaginable, I'd have to conclude that it is enslavement that it means when it talks about efficiency."

And I can't help but notice that the point of inefficiency helps grow corporate profit, while the point of efficiency does not. So it seems that this different idea of "efficiency" might have something to do with efficiency of profit over any other efficiency, including the efficiency of preserving and enhancing human lives. On the other hand, the Federal Branch of Sabotage, Destruction and Punishment is engaged in all sorts of policies right now seemingly designed to demolish and sabotage the national economy as fast as possible, which probably will eat into corporate profit. So, while corporate profit is observably more valuable than human life, our gang of fascist thugs may have a different idea of what "efficiency" is, and what it is for.
Definitions matter.

I guess it plays better with the anti-library audience, but uh... I'm not a school librarian, not in any way we define that part of the profession.
I work at a medical school.
It is rare I see a patron under 21, much less under 18.

"One could live their entire day via a keyboard and a daily quota of swipes: 8 hours of typing (the 9 to 5 job), 18 clicks on Uber (get a cab home), seven clicks on DoorDash (dinner). If this life was a movie, there would be no plot. It’s a tragedy!"
