honestly maybe it's my ignorance but I'm really surprised all these newspapers like santa rosa even exist. How? subscriptions for physical newspapers? I haven't seen an actual physical newspaper in over a decade (except junk mail). Paid classifieds? it's all craigslist et al nowadays. Paid print ads? really? how is this stuff even around?

there are entire worlds that exist outside the sphere of what you see.

not only are there still newspapers, there are still people riding bicycles delivering those papers every morning. maybe not where you are, or maybe you don’t see them, but they are far from gone.

the world you know about is absolutely dwarfed by the world you don't know about.
