That's a handy way to avoid an investigation into questionable deaths. Murders, neglected healtcare, work accident due to bad work safety... Just grave them and don't tell anybody. Possibly also pocket the money for dead souls.

As Nina Simone once said, Mississippi Goddam. The only reason Mississippi exists is to make people in Alabama feel evolved. It's the toilet of the country, dead last in almost every conceivable metric, including education. As bad as some other states are, Mississippi is worse.

Sadly - that's today's MS Govt & the ones allowed to vote 💔 [I'm from too many generations of Mississippians - Blessedly, my Dad & his living bros are LIBERAL. Nothing to celebrate, I'm simply lucky to have him still in my life 🩵]
