Sound Off for April 2, 2022

Scheduling concern

U.S. Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith cited a previous engagement for not meeting Vice President Kamala Harris when she visits Mississippi to tour its infrastructure improvement needs. What could have been more important?

Soccer’s rise

The NFL, MLB and the NBA should look over their shoulder. With unlimited immigration, soccer will soon be the national sport.

Good management

Walgreens on East Pass Road has two large trash receptacles at their entrance and exits, a sign of good management. This should be a requirement. It helps deter lazy folks from throwing trash in their parking lots.

Flawed calculation

To “minimum wage,” there is a problem in your thinking. To paraphrase Jesus’ words to Satan, “Man does not live by gasoline alone.”

Inflation adjustment?

Is the new teachers’ pay raise really the largest in state history after inflation is taken into account?

Not quite right

Yesterday’s Sound Off was wrong about COVID vaccine counts. Your first and second dose were both primary doses of 0.5ml each. Your third and fourth booster doses were 0.25ml each. So you get two primary and two booster doses. Please do your research.

Immigration concern

The Southern border is a problem brought on by large corporations wanting cheap labor to increase their profits. Both political parties benefit from corporation donations to turn their heads while professing their distaste.

So you know

One thing you won’t ever hear out of a Republican’s mouth is defund the police.
