    “We can share books if you pay me to maintain the book sharing system via a non optional tax.” Universally loved system.

    “We can share tools if you pay me to maintain those tools via a non optional tax.” A niche program most libraries have.

    “We can share tools if you pay me to maintain those tools via an subscription where I have a profit incentive.” Literally 1984 and late stage capitalism.
