>>8044083Yeah, I'm a librarian. I work in a traditionally beautiful library, which is great. But when we had a mold issue and our HVAC failed, it was a nightmare to repair, and we had to go with uglier and more modern replacements and upgrades because it's all we could afford to do. Beautiful layouts and real wood and all that other shit are incredibly expensive to build and maintain, because capitalism rewards minmax design and materials. Fund your libraries better and we can afford to look nicer! None of us want to work in boring boxes but we need to spend money on books and not opening up plaster every time there's an HVAC issue.
But sure, something something Marxism.
