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. The soon to be $7 billion plant is an experiment too far. It was a tough sale from the start. It took some really clever spin and sleight…

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.

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

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.
