 Entergy Mississippi is an electric utility.  It has a legal monopoly in 45 counties with almost 400,000 residential customers (households).  It is regulated by the Mississippi Public Service Commission (PSC).  The PSC has allowed Entergy to increase rates for these customers 32% over the last three years.  Why?  Should customers pay even more for less?

Recently my office instructed Mississippi universities to report how much they are spending on so-called “Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion” (DEI) programs. That was enough to send liberal columnist Bill Crawford into a tailspin. Crawford claims I’m on a “witch hunt.” He found a nameless “Republican operative” who said I, like Gov. Ron DeSantis, was “overreach[ing].” So let’s take a closer look (and for the record, I don’t give a flip about what an anonymous “Republican operative” says).

BARBERINO-TAVARNELLE, TUSCANY— Things are different over here. It’s not just the language. Spaces are smaller. Roads are tighter. Bathrooms are tinier. But there's a reason for all of that. The roads are tighter because many were built over one thousand years ago and were meant to accommodate horses, carriages, wagons, and people traveling by foot. The bathrooms in the historic city centers are smaller because those buildings were built 700 years ago before in and plumbing was a thing.

Despite being 16 years old now, the iPhone is more popular than ever.  Indeed, so popular is the iPhone that the Wall Street Journal reported last weekend the smartphone captured the resale market as iPhones retain their value while Androids plummet as much as new cars once did when purchased. Even more interesting is  the product is desired by ever-fickle teens.  How has the company managed to remain at the top of the game for so long when so many competitors fell by the wayside?

I’ll start this post with a complaint about life these days. Beef has been pricy for the past year or two. I am related to a guy who raises beef for a living and they are still paying him pretty much the same for beef on the hoof, so someone other than the guy who raises the beef is making the extra money we have been paying. I won’t waste your time reminiscing about days when beef roasts were sixty nine cents a pound, but it is nice to see more reasonable prices for the cuts we like to eat so we can make the recipes we like.

One of those cuts is beef chuck roast. A great way to use it is in a beef stew and that is what we are doing with today’s post.
