Jackson Jambalaya

Antar has desperately called in favors from the leftist heavies in Manhattan like Mike Bloomberg. Expect bloomber.com to publish a flattering puff piece about Lumumba’s triumph over white supremacists like Councilman Kenneth I. Stokes. A man known for driving slain civil rights leaders’ widows to her dialysis appointments.

Richard's leg breakers are biggers than WM's?

Chase Bryan apparently likes his chances with Jess Dickinson.

My read on this is WM decided that even getting the Jackson contract would end up being nothing but a constant headache for them. Why fight to get that.

The longer this continues, the more convinced I am that all involved are criminals. Nobody would put up with this mess just to pick up garbage in Jackson if they weren't planning on massive kickbacks.

So what does this mean?

@6:07 This means that Lumumba will be emboldened to advance his agenda.

That is frightening to me.

Come on folks. Do you know how heavy a 96-gallon container full of garbage weighs? 200 lbs. Can you imagine an elderly woman trying to get one those things to a curb? Give me a break. I got a 60-gallon container & it heavy for me. Why in the Hell do they make 60-gallon plastic bags the standard. think about it.
Chock=Full-of Nuts Lubumbba is the most ridiculous person I've ever seen.
What a disgrace that the city is run into the ground by this fool! He needs to move up to Chicago where that female major will put him to work.

I'm glad, I'm not from Jackson. There are too many stupid people in that city.

Richard’s may very well be incompetent and crooked, but have no doubt that WM is not run by angels. Ask people at Clinton and Hinds County who have to deal with them. Ask a Clinton alderman how many times they had to redo the bid evaluation process to make sure WM won 3 years ago.

This may be a good thing. For one thing, it gets Winston Kidd out of the way, which is altogether a good thing. Secondly, it makes litigation much more orderly to have it all heard in one court. WM can raise its issues if it is allowed to intervene, as I suspect it will. No doubt Chockwe's lawyers are going to squawk, but that is about all they do. It also may help since the city council apparently hired the Martin law firm to represent it, which was unfortunate. It will much easier now to move for injunctive relief, even temporary relief, now that the case is in one court. I expect that an injunction of some kind is going to be necessary. I doubt the issues here can be resolved before the end of the month, especially if the case ends up in the appellate courts, which may well happen.

" So what does this mean? "

Well 6:07,

I think it means WM said to hell with Antar & Jackson,Mississippi.

I predict by mid April, many sections of the city will probably have
two weeks worth of rotting un-collected garbage on the streets.
Most of the city will smell like boo-boo again.
Billions of newly hatched blow-flies will be swarming.


However, thats just my initial prediction.

So, Detroit did make it down here. Gotta love the mafia. Gets the job done on time every time. o kiddies, what's next on the agenda. Dictator for life?

They are going to spend more money on lawyers than garbage.
Maybe the Russian Govt. ain't so bad.

@9:07 PM - I also penned this a few days ago, but I included the rat population will thrive, except at Baby Chowke's compound, where the JPD palace guard will haul off his trash.

925 where do you think Antar Taliaferro's dad was from?

What does it mean? It means I was right yesterday when I posted that Antar would win this battle (but not the war). The lawsuit filed by WM was without grounds since there was no contract, WM had not been harmed and there was no way it could survive the first hour of judicial scrutiny.

It also means the perception of a gut-punch directed at WM and an emboldening of the boy-mayor of our capital city.

It could also mean WM is re-thinking its selection of a local attorney.

" So what does this mean?
March 14, 2022 at 6:07 PM "

WM has actual attorneys with access to actual information, and that information leads them to conclude that filing a voluntary dismissal is in the best interest of their client. That may sound like a "no shit" answer. It isn't. Do with that what you will.

6:07, see the first half of the comment at 8:49.

9:31, By all means, go to Russia get your teeth kicked in for criticizing the government. I doubt you'd last one day in Russia. I know I wouldn't.

@9:07 PM
Who wins the NCAA men’s and women’s basketball tournaments?
If you can’t provide the answer then stop acting like you can predict the future. Humans only use 10% of their brains. Do you believe such a small amount can predict the future?

FOH.

It's always better to be on the side of a governmental body in a judicial proceeding in order to not be "home cooked". In this case, WM simply left being a "free agent" and is signing with the LA Rams.

So has Richard's said where they were going to take these loaded trucks with "raw boo boo"? I thought WM owned the landfills in or near Jackson.

SmRt move by WM, they’re paying the long game. I doubt they have any intention of letting this go, it would just open the door for other cities to have “emergencies”.

I wake up every morning and promptly give thanks to the good Lord above that I moved my family out of Jackson and Hinds County five years ago. No, really, every damn morning.

March 14, 2022 at 6:02 PM
My thoughts exactly. Can you imagine the road blocks that "loyal City employees" and the City Administration would erect against WM? "No you can't drive the truck down that alley way, you are tearing up the street" etc., etc.

Can’t wait till your trash piles up on the street KF. I will laugh my ass off from Gluckstadt.

It means WM picked the wrong local lawyer. That lawsuit was dead from the get go. There was no contract. There was no harm suffered. Filing that lawsuit was nothing but bluster and WM paid for it. Also paid to drop it. Time to get the Yellow-Pages out!

Chokwe circles the track in a victory lap.

I think the city is missing the biggest issue. It's not the trash that's almost minor to the whole department that needs to be revised. Public works need more help than anything from repairing potholes to completely new staff of the water department. Sending estimated bills has to stop. Customers are overcharged for usage at extremes rates. More focus needs to be on the department as a whole than just a trash contract that's wasting taxpayer money. Jackson water is almost close to Flint Michigan water but we pay the highest in the state.

@7:52pm -- Corinth has had city-provided large, 196-gallon thrash cans for years. More than twice the size of the 96-gallon ones people have been complaining about. They work fine for once-a-week thrash pick-up, and older folks still were able to get those down to the street and back. -- Ridgeland's Waste Management provided recycle thrash cans are 96-gallon; older folks still get those to the street and back. -- Stop whining about the potential for city provided 96-gallon wheeled thrash cans that prevent thrash prevent thrash from being torn up and littered down the street when people leave their thrash bag out and it gets ripped up by animal or weather.

To those asking what this means: it most likely means that Waste Management is making the smart decision to have their fight in a more friendly venue.

"So has Richard's said where they were going to take these loaded trucks with "raw boo boo"? I thought WM owned the landfills in or near Jackson." Maybe they'll haul them to NOLA or Baton Rougu then put them on a garbage scow and dump it in the Gulf.

Agree with 8:54. Will end up looking like the Space Port scene in 5th Element.

@7:30 AM

What’s wrong with Jacktown?

@7:30 AM
Ice Cube wrote a song called “How To Survive In South Central.” No sooner than I heard the lyrics I said to myself there really isn’t a difference between South Central and Jackson, Mississippi.

Am I lying?

Those tooting the horn of Jokeway in celebration are a bit early imo.

12:56 PM
Is this a rhetorical question?

I vote that Richard's dumps the garbage in baby chowke's gated compound, right?

Richard's will NEVER have a fleet of trucks and staff to drive and ride by 4/1. He was asked how much he'd put into it already and he wouldn't say. He hasn't known what to prepare for and he's probably scrambling now.
What Antar has done is CRIMINAL. As much as I do not want my trash to pile up on my street, I almost can't wait to see it happen so he can see and smell his massive failure as "Mair".

5:31. does richards try to subcontract WM for a month until he can get something together?

9:48 - Can you post a photo of a 196-gallon trash can by emailing it to Kingfish for publication. I'm thinking it would be the size of what used to be a regular refrigerator.

"Corinth has had city-provided large, 196-gallon thrash (sic) cans for years. More than twice the size of the 96-gallon ones people have been complaining about."

That has either got to be a deliberate misrepresentation of the truth or a misunderstanding of the size.

Picture a 55 gallon drum. Everybody knows what that looks like. A 196 gallon drum would be the size of 3 1/2 of those 55 gallon drums. Nobody could roll one of those, full, anywhere, much less to the street.
