On a related note, this is why Mississippi is such a shit hole. They're consistently the most laggard of laggards... They adopted the cotton gin (operated by horses) around the time the rest of the union was using far more advanced factories for production.

They heavily invested into manufacturing in the 1980s... Right when America was moving everything offshore...

They're professional bagholders. Basically any tech takes the full adoption cycle to reach them... I'm half joking when I say they'll start heavily investing in broadband and the internet a decade from now...

They used to be the richest and most well educated state in the union, the literal center of power for the US in more ways than one. They got too rich and ossified and refused to change with the times, so the times changed them. Now they're a hollow shell of their former self.
