Do you have a public library card?

If you do, most public libraries provide access to most paywalled material. Mine uses PressReader on its web site.

And this is why Republicans are attacking libraries...

Information asymmetry is needed when billionaires are funding a growing fascist movement.

Keeping access to information is mandatory for pro-democracy advocacy.

@Npars01 @textfiles Canadian Libraries also use Proquest’s Newstream service, a text only replica of newspapers. proquest.com/

I doubt I'm the only one who knows his achievements but doesn't know his name. Thank you for adding to my knowledge.

A wide dispersion of caches of information, as billionaires fund a fascist future, is laudable.

You're missing my point; that there are a number of methods to read high-end newspapers that use paywalls.

The Internet Archive's wayback machine is only one of many methods.

All of these methods are under an orchestrated attack by anti-democracy elites.

Stealing from a billionaire would be ethical to a poor person, though not to the billionaire..
So as billionaires steal from everyone who is not a billionaire, and poor in their mind, this is hard work.
