You're just like the people Op is talking about.

The Mississippi Delta is no better, and they vote similarly to Jackson. The state's government thrives on depriving its people to bolster their own interests.

As a teenager I once slowed down and drove through a roadblock because I thought it was the scene of a wreck. All the cops yelled and I stopped, and the cop at my window immediately asked how much weed I had smoked.

Midnight trip to McDonald's didn't work out that night

I love how they mention it isn't just a Jackson problem. I grew up in MS - several hours away from Jackson - and the water often wasn't clean, either due to it literally being dirty or having some issue from the treatment facility. Boil water notices were common, and I was from a nicer area. I never realized that wasn't the standard of living until I moved away.

In MS, especially in Jackson, there was a lot of blame being thrown around and broken promises made while the residents literally bathed in brown water. Combine this with the fact MS has critically underfunded many services in general, and seldom offers sustainable public options, it was a recipe for disaster. I'm hopeful change actually happens this time, because the people there desperately need it. The State has neglected them at every turn, but they've generally been conditioned to believe there are no viable alternatives to the current styles of leadership.

I work in frontline management and make sure my morning staff meetings are always 5 minutes. I keep them concise because I even hate them, and I really only need 5 minutes to convey the daily goals and improvements.

Also I live in a legal State, so if any of my team members smell like weed, it was because their roommate did morning bong rips. No questions asked.

I distinctly remember the same sentiment in 2015 and 2016. Don't listen to what anything or anyone says. Just vote, and get people you know to vote, because Trump's supporters certainly will.

Either you weren't contributing for decades, or you literally only contributed $10-$20/mo for ~30 years. If your job provides a 401k option, with tax write-offs and everything else you should have been contributing a lot more to maximize its future utility. This is assuming your employer wasn't even matching.

Either you aren't telling us the full details, or you haven't fully been contributing for decades.

Not everyone has the ability or capability to leave their home.

Love to see these guys getting some recognition! Please check out "Kai Tangata" if you haven't heard it. It's not as heavy as some of their works - and I prefer heavier forms of metal - but that's probably my favorite song of theirs.

They do. In fact, guns were initially invented by modifying fireworks. Obviously some guns and some fireworks are very distinctive, but generally they sound very similar
