As an American citizen and library user.. Is this really Armageddon? the panic headlines seem to claim it.. First off, how many of you actually rely on one source only for these documents.. is this a document issue really? or are the pages (and sites) part of policy statements and their ephemera ?
Maybe elsewhere you have seen links to Archive.org or personal data mirror efforts.. more of this please! Vote with your wallets! It seems naïve to rely on single-source for important content.
lastly, physical print materials apparently have a role to play in the future, right?
- bean-weevil 2y agoThis is very, very bad, but not armaggeddon (probably) for most people. It does decrease our preparedness for armageddon-like disasters - imagine a more aggressive HIV-like disease, for example. If you're an academic or a federal employee, it might be the end of your career which is like a little mini apocalypse targeted only at specific walks of life.

- sympil 2y agoIt’s not an individual action that indicates this is Armageddon as you put it. It’s the aggregate of these actions that suggests this is Armageddon. Trump is normalizing behavior that ought to be anathema to everyone.
