Yeah those shovel ready jobs were not so shovel ready like Obama said!! CORRUPTION with our tax dollars is EVERYWHERE!!
Joe and Jill Biden get 10 percent, and Hunter will get it running for the other 90 percent.
Jackson is a VERY black city. We stopped at an intersection a few years back thinking we would stop for the night. That same intersection had a white woman shot and killed a few weeks later just for being there and being white.
Do they have a sign that says, “Rib Tips”?
From Wiki:
In 2020, the city’s homicide rate reached its highest in history with 79.69 homicides per 100,000 residents, with a total of 128 homicides. Of major U.S. cities, only St. Louis surpassed Jackson’s homicide rate.
Probably a lot like Somalia.
THIS is the reason - and it’s endemic with a LOT of local governments.
This is the basic difference between first world and third world - clean abundant water.
My father‘s company privatized and managed Jackson water and sewer from 1982 to 1992 but when the blacks took over the mayor and city Council they wanted kickbacks in cash and dad refused so they gave the contracts to an outfit out of Chicago of course I think the contracts were eight and 12 million respectively per year on average he save the city at least 30% over what they were spending to run the same public works which as you know it was such a patronage system
Or they’ll blame not-passing Joe Biden’s infrastructure bill which would have fixed all the failing water systems across the country
The freeways through Jackson are elevated. I guess I know hwy.
I think you hit that nail on the head.
Will thousands of toilets malfunction? That would be a riot.
Is it me or is there something Biblical about the drought in the USA and globally?
They cannot flush for now...
Never fear! Bidenman is here! He’ll send a billion bottles of water! And if he doesn’t, the entire media will give him a free pass.
I’m from Mississippi. The federal and state governments have given Jackson untold millions of dollars to upgrade the water system over the years but the money keeps getting siphoned off into other projects or outright stolen. To be fair it’s not all Lumumba’s fault, though he’s certainly a part of it. Most of the city council are crooks too, it’s just a matter of which one can steal money the fastest. They are, predictably, mostly of the political party and race that you would likely guess. Throwing more money at it won’t work, it’s just dumping it down a pit of political corruption.
I’ll bet that the demographics of the workers in both systems are near identical.
Corrupt democrat city... where democrat blacks rip off the powerless black community for fun and profit.
I guess it wasn't shovel ready!
I’ve seen so much stupid stuff done by the tradespeople who built houses in Northern VA in the 80s and 90s, I think what you described took place here decades ago.
