• https://usa.inquirer.net, By: Cody Cepeda

Mourdoukoutas, who writes about business and investment for Forbes, was slammed for his piece last July 21 after he suggested Amazon should open their bookstores in all local communities.

As per Mourdoukoutas' article, he wrote that Amazon Books bookstores replacing local libraries can save taxpayers a lot of money. He, too, cited the prevalence of streaming services and the rise of digital technology, both of which, as per Mourdoukoutas, are well on their way in stamping out the need for library borrowing services.

But it appears many didn't share the sentiments of Mourdoukoutas. Many have since taken to social media recently to air out their grievances regarding his claims, starting with, well, an actual library.
