@BiggerPieForum – Trump, #Kemper, and Mississippi Floods
Trump, Kemper, and Mississippi Floods Mississippi Power self destructs. But Kemper has changed the Overton Window for Mississippi Power – and probably other companies too by association.

Bigger Pie Forum chair Williams: What if Mississippi politicians got back in flood trading game?
Mississippi Flooding In 1946 the Southern Authors Literary Guild chose "Speeding Floods to the Sea" as the most outstanding book of the fall. Pretty racy stuff.

BIGGERPIE – It’s the monopoly, stupid.
It’s the monopoly, stupid. The main problem with K-12 public school education may not be the lack of funding. It’s more likely the lack of competition. Public schools are government monopolies. Monopolies are protected from competition. They don’t have to innovate to improve to survive. So they don’t. They just get ever more bureaucratic and…
