I consider Jr Achievement a Chamber of Commerce indoctrination program. These are the “supporters” in KY/IN. https://kentuckiana.ja.org/donor/our-supporters. I don’t know what county this was. It reminds me of Univ of Kentucky which gets $$ from coal barons - alumni and others. https://www.uky.edu/prmarketing/charles-koch-foundation-gift

Coal is remembered fondly by many from the 1970s in the midst of roller coaster recession, unemployment & skyrocketing inflation & high interest rates from ‘65 to ‘82, coal not only kept Appalachian areas afloat, but in KY $$ gushed in coal counties.

Since then despair and broken promises. (It is the reason HRC’s unfortunate comment stung her so badly.)
