@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.

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.
