Delphi Technique is used by Tupelo leaders to sway people who object to their plans to shut up and accept what is forced on them. Tupelo likes to pride itself with wearing a community badge that everything it does has full support of the community. They fact is much of what is forced on the public spending tax and federal grant money is not what the community wants in fact it harms groups that live and work in the areas it is spending that tax money. Poor leadership and very poor management keep Mississippi in last place in almost any national measurement. The rich connected city leaders make sure nothing happens that would put a burden on them and forget about the other people that end up paying.

We have wasted millions of tax money on building things that need to be maintained but no money set aside to maintain them. Much of what is build does very little for the majority of Tupelo citizens. Much of what is done only favors small groups of people while the rest of the community has to pay for it. Everyone knew the bus system was a failure before any money was spent on consultants that are paid to agree with those who hire them.

Wake up Tupelo and do a write in vote rather than pick those frauds on the ballot.

Flowing 2,300 miles from Minnesota to the Gulf of Mexico, the Mississippi River provides drinking water, food and jobs for millions of people. A journey downriver reveals how the agricultural industry is contributing to one of the nation’s biggest ecological disasters.

The earth is one limited resource with a very delicate environment. We see problems every day about how humans are destroying mother earth. Global warming, shortage of clean water, air pollution, finite minerals, extinct species, plastic in the oceans, loss of coral reefs, melting of ice and the rising seas. Humans at war and having mental problems, deaths from drugs, population bubbles, contaminated ground water and loss of aquifers. Deception and data mining manipulating populations.

Do we really think growth is going to make things better?

“By next year, an estimated 70% of jobs in Washington State will require some sort of post-secondary credential.”

Mississippi seems to be happy just getting 70% of the children graduated from High School. Tupelo needs a graduate school and research center that employs over 2000 professionals. This does not happen when the state promotes factory workers as an accomplishment. They do not even make the average American wage. The present Tupelo airport would make a good place to build such a University. Move the airport out to farm country.

Study shows Mississippi ranks 49th in internet speed for 2019. I am not surprised as the state puts money into sport teams and refuses to value intelligent people that need to exchange knowledge and creative ideas. Ever wonder why so many of our top students leave the state?

Mississippi needs to create and contribute new products to the world stage not just hire share croppers to labor for low wages and corporations that ship the profits to other countries. These growth potentials do not happen with the current Mississippi values.

Beyond these death rates, the report looked at 44 other factors that influence a population’s health to determine each state’s ranking.

Hawaii, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Washington, Connecticut and Vermont ranked the highest (Connecticut and Vermont tied for fifth place in the rankings), while Arkansas, Nevada, Texas, Oklahoma and Mississippi received the lowest rankings.

Most of the cost of health insurance reflects people’s personal health habits.

Alabama sheriffs who lost reelection in 2018 personally pocketed funds and deleted public records, an investigation by AL.com and ProPublica found. Holes were drilled through government-issued smartphones and leftover rice was poured down the drain, among other things. It’s a longstanding tradition that sheriffs aren’t typically held accountable for.

Lack of morals and ethics is the norm in today’s world regardless if people have a religion. Could education and over population be part of the cause?

Our hectic, on-demand lifestyles rely upon allocating finite sets of resources to constantly changing numbers of people. As this task grows ever harder, it will require solutions to a little-known mathematical riddle.It’s not easy to accurately predict what humans want and when they will want it. We’re demanding creatures, expecting the world to deliver speedy solutions to our increasingly complex and diverse modern-day problems Over the last few decades, researchers have developed a range of pretty effective mathematical solutions that can allocate resources across a variety of industries and scenarios so they can attempt to keep up with the daily demands our lives place on them. But when an allocation made at one time affects subsequent allocations, the problem becomes dynamic, and the passing of time must be considered as part of the equation. This throws a mathematical spanner in the works, requiring these solutions to now take into account the changing and uncertain nature of the real world and the growing population. If we don’t start to address dynamic resource allocation problems now, we won’t just struggle to get dinner on the table – the entire world could grind to a halt.

Policies that once drove the region’s growth—relatively low taxes and low wages that attracted factories and blue-collar jobs—have proven inadequate in an economy where the forces of globalization favor cities with concentrations of capital and educated workers.NATCHEZ, Miss.—The American South spent much of the past century trying to overcome its position as the country’s poorest and least-developed region, with considerable success: By the 2009 recession it had nearly caught up economically with its northern and western neighbors.

That trend has now reversed. Since 2009, the South’s convergence has turned to divergence, as the region recorded the country’s slowest growth in output and wages, the lowest labor-force participation rate and the highest unemployment rate.

The plan to use the education system to make workers has failed to produce creative individuals that work with their minds rather than their bodies. Automation has replaced the low I.Q. worker. Lack of freedoms and liberty has driven the intelligent youth away. All that is left are the serfs.

Public utilities are required by laws to provide access to emergency communication if problem arise. Comcast adds 911 charge to the telephone bill so the government does not have to put fire alarm boxes on every corner. The law requires that the utility keep those emergency systems working and if they break down repairs them as fast as possible.

It has come to my attention that Comcast puts its construction work to add more customers ahead of repairing existing services to already paying customers. Customers are paying for emergency service and not having access to it so Comcast can make more money.

The City of Tupelo and the city council have no intentions or ability to make Comcast honor its legal requirements. The City has given exclusive rights to Comcast to be the only cable provider with no competition from companies like C-spire to hard wire a second emergency system. The leaders of the City council enjoy campaign contributions from Comcast to block any completion that will provide better service to the paying public.

John Cleese is being branded a racist for daring to repeat his observation that London “is not really an English city” anymore ‘I think it’s legitimate to prefer one culture over another.’Since then, virtually all my friends from abroad have confirmed my observation

So there must be some truth in it. I prefer cultures that do not tolerate female genital mutilation.Will this will be considered racist by all those who hover, eagerly hoping that someone will offend them – on someone else’s behalf, naturally.Cleese has long been impatient with those who push political correctness and a supposed right to never be offended, saying in 2016 that “all humor is critical. If we start saying, ‘Oh, we mustn’t criticize or offend them,’ then humor is gone, and with humor goes a sense of proportion — and then, as far as I’m concerned, you’re living in ‘1984.’ So the idea that you have to be protected from any kind of uncomfortable emotion is one I absolutely do not subscribe to.”

Diverse cultures do not live under the same laws. What is wrong with different people wanting different lifestyles that are not compatible with moral, ethical and religious beliefs?
