those all require fees to use. library card costs money, using hte library space, money. fishing licence, money. dog, lots of money. my dog costs me about 2 grand a year for vet, food, and licenses. absolutely none of them are free.

so many of the posts here come across like you all have no real world experience...

    where do you live that they are free? mine cost $20 and then $10 to replace. They also expire after 2 years. It's cheap, but not free.

    New books can only be rented for 1 week, old books for 3. After that you have to pay late fees.

    Nothing is free.

    NM. Just bring in proof of residency, like a utility bill, and boom. Free library card.

    NM is a weird outlier state. Poor, but very progressive. You guys now have that free childcare. Crazy. Where I live childcare costs 4000-2500 a month. Highest childcare costs in the nation.

    We don't do free stuff here the northeast. Even our public schools now have usage fees for extracurricular activities like sports or music. My nephew runs track... and has to pay $300 per semester just to be on the team. Baseball/football is 2-3x that.
