BIGGERPIE – The Morganza Spillway and the Maginot Line
The Morganza Spillway and the Maginot Line The French built the Maginot Line of forts and fortifications after World War I. It was supposed to keep the Germans out of France. It didn’t. The Germans quickly went around it and took France again in WW II. A Maginot Line is now a metaphor for a…

@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.

A frugal ostrich named Gilbert The Secretary’s job is to receive the fillings and post the information for public use. He does.
