What about all the "potential captains of industry" that are currently working at Gamestop and lecturing the rest of us about the need to remove minimum wage so they can rocket up to the top?

The truth of the matter is that there are millions of potential captains of industry in this country alone that have the skills and smarts to make the world a better place. And they aren't held back by government regulation and whiny slackers, they are held back by the existing titans of industry who wield the vast wealth and power they've accumulated to keep anyone else out of the club.

While the Amazing Randis scream about the evils of government, the Koch brothers sit back and enjoy the success of their scheme.

But as far as libraries go, it's spending a dime on something that's definitely worthwhile. Ayn Rand books notwithstanding.

The masses, for their part, barely notice their absence and go on about their business. Soon new assholes arise from their ranks and the cycle begins anew.

However, conniving bureaucrats do everything in their power to thwart it.

Just like in real life where...hold on...wait a minute....

Trains?

@2
That would be my guess.

Atlas Shrugged was perhaps the only book that was better as a Cliff Note.

And they didn't even have a horrendous train crash, lovingly detailed by a sociopathic romance novelist with major Daddy issues. What a letdown.
