Ah, I think I get it now... Here in MN, it's like building light rail lines to nowhere... They take massive amounts of state money, and supplement it with incredible amounts of federal money, build a train that requires constant subsidies to support the miniscule number of people that ride it, and claim it's a PUBLIC GOOD!
Or the "sane (or Lexus) lanes". They take massive amounts of state and federal money and build new lanes on the expressways, then set aside a third of them, and claim that only CERTAIN people can use them... So, they sit largely idle during rush hour while all the other lanes are at a standstill, and that's another "PUBLIC GOOD"!
So, as demand increases, the balkanization will escalate and every county or city library system will demand that only THEIR select group use the resources.
Makes sense now.
