Why is a Kentucky newspaper reporting on this? There is probably a deeper story about why this article, and it's particular editorial choices, ended up in that newspaper.
- radicaldreamer 4y agoIt’s just syndicated content from The Mercury News without the paywall the OG source has.
- epistasis 4y agoAha, thanks, that makes sense. So not a very deep story, but an interesting one nonetheless. Very interested in why a Kentucky Newspaper would syndicate it.
- egberts1 4y agoTo get middle-class to come to Kentucky by the virtue of their inherent mobility. It’s better than recruiting, oh let us say, homeless?
- epistasis 4y agoThat doesn't make any sense to me, becuase I don't think this recruits anybody to move to Kentucky, as Californias probably aren't reading the Kentucky newspapers, and even if they were there's nothing in the article to recommend Kentucky as the destination versus anywhere else. It would make far more sense as an advertisement to people in Kentucky to not move to California. However, I suspect that it may be mostly about solidifying political dividing lines in the country, in an attempt to separate us from each other. I don't have any evidence for my suspicion though.
- egberts1 4y agoYes, it is implicit advertising for (about to be) homeless in Kentucky.

- _Microft 4y agoThis article seems to have been "reprinted" from "The Mercury News" which seems to be based in California. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Mercury_News https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Mercury_News
