But I live in Michigan, and read enough of my local papers to be aware of local retail openings & closings. I notice that zero of those ever appear in national news, or among HN submissions. Similar for unfortunate situations in MI being well-covered by the "ideologically inclined" national and overseas press. The last thing in MI that I can recall getting such attention was https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flint_water_crisis https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flint_water_crisis
