After living through the Mississippi “water crisis”, and watching it get talked about on the world stage- I can finally understand why people get mad when outsiders talk about their own personal issues….. especially when it’s used to generate clicks and spread personal talking points.
The theories that were happening, and the crap that was being talked about was so far off base that it was not even funny. Did some of it have elements of truth to it? Yea, it did.
Did some outsiders try to argue some of the most idiotic things ever, and to do with such pure intellectually insane gobbledegook, that I genuinely had to share with my family members, who could only cover their mouth and say “oh my God”.
You had those who were using it for their own political or personal persuasion, and then you had those who believed those who were doing that, and would then attempt to have a super serious intelligent conversation, and were so sure of their intellectual capacity, that even someone living in the middle of it all, someone who was citing credible sources, facts, maps, data points, historical statistics, and personal experience…. they still could not be sway them.
I think this is because they were defending their already determined conclusion, not the reality as it was unfolding and had been unfolding for a couple of decades.

It was mind-boggling…. but also very eye-opening.
