The development of college students as leaders through good communication skills.
I don’t like jumping on ships that are sailing smoothly. I like the ones on tough seas. Hang in there Coach Hall. You got this! Just got to find your gun slinger. #smtt#bowtieburks
Interesting nugget from our study on which college majors are vital for the state's economy.
The upper left quadrant is degrees that yield good salaries in Mississippi but also people who are likely to leave the state.
I'd call that the "missed opportunity" box. We've got to create more of those kinds of graduates. More taxpayer money should go to educate folks in those fields to maximize taxpayer ROI.
We also need to convince the grads in these fields to stay. A potential solution that's worked for my office is the Stay in the Sip fellowship, where we pay for part of an accounting major's degree if they agree to come work for my office for a period.
Full report available on my office's website.
Mississippians will not and should not submit to fear again. In the early days of COVID, there was understandable uncertainty. We did not yet know what we were facing. As the months unfolded, it became clear that there were two pandemics. A disease that was easy to spread and that was deadly for many vulnerable people. And a pandemic of fear stoked by “the expert class” that demanded total subjugation of the American people.
In the first days of national unity, it seemed ridiculous to assume that bureaucrats and “experts” were trying to seize power. Now, it seems ridiculous to assume they wouldn’t try it again.
The simple answer to the question being posed by “experts” is: no. We will not return to widespread masking or COVID rules.
If you want to take extraordinary measures to protect yourself from getting sick, God bless you. That is your right and you should do what you think is best. Maybe you’re the smartest of all of us. But we are never going back to 2020.
People have a right to make their own decisions. To decide how much risk they tolerate. And no matter what pronouncements come down from the Biden/Fauci administration: we will go to school, we will go to church, we will go to work, and we will play sports. We will live in self-determination, not top-down fear.
