Ha, nice try on throwing shade. I read voraciously, and have done so since I could pick up my first book. I don't think there's any more or less dignity in being poor, but neither am I impressed with these weird things wealthy people do to appear socially responsible. It's not solidarity, it's not really mutual aid, it's just performative. It's charity, but only a tiny amount, in only the places where it's not needed. I guarantee you, if someone from my neighborhood walked through a neighbourhood with these things and tried to pick up a book, you'd have Aurora PD with a boot on their neck before they made it back home.

Honestly, ultimately it's not that I think these are bad, but the attention to them is just gauche. It's weird to draw attention to this thing that I've literally only seen privileged people put up infront of their homes.
