Jackson Jambalaya

20 inch main carries a ton of water.

Get the Corps of Engineers here, ASAP!

Cold weather.

Fortification St is not in South Jackson??

Flood waters are to blame, right?

Yep, those water main breaks are extremely difficult to discover. This is more evidence that Pres. Joe Xiden needs to send money to Socrates, err, Chowke, ASAP.

Should we hire a consultant first before fixing it?

This was caused by a "vast right-wing conspiracy" to make Chowke look bad, right? However, he does that just fine without any assistance from outside his office.

Fortification St runs east and west ans is south of Maple St. Maple St runs east and west and is North of Fortification. So, where is the water line break?

get tate to declare another emergecy so this can get fixed please

Breaking: Chowke has announced that the cause of this water main break was caused by the unusually high water flow in the Pearl River.

9:57 - Get in your Land Rover and go figure it out.

Maple turns SW right after Lanier High School and intersects Fortification. Then, it becomes Longino.

Maple intersects with Fortification west of Bailey.

9:56, Antar's standard operating procedure is having a "conversion" before hiring the consultant that you mention.

9:18 20 inch main carries a ton of water.

Yeah, roughly a ton of water every 1.2 seconds at max flow.

After seeing the picture on WLBT's story, and finding the same spot on Google Earth street view which is a hair south of Watson St., it looks like the road was caved in and a traffic barrel had been in the sunken part for awhile.

Evidently, the governr firebombed it.

For you Chowke voters - that's the breaks, right? Not to worry, because when he replaces Bennie it will be water under the bridge, right?

A 20" water main carries twice as much water as a 10" water main.

The above post is sarcastic and just forcing the math challenged people to scratch their heads and think.

'Yeah, roughly a ton of water every 1.2 seconds at max flow.'

Liquids are measured in volume, not weight. Least-ways that's what I learned up at Holmes Junior.

Trying not to overreact and be so defensive...it's the definition of whining and is very immature.
No one is saying "vast right wing conspiracy".
What we are saying is that both parties have ignored problems that are "unseen" by voters like deteriorating water mains. Politicians want to be re-elected so they want the money to go to visible things you'd like new fairgrounds or project like highways, or your favorite University.
This was true with Democrats in power and with Republicans in power.
We would point out that some of your expectations of performance are terribly naive and unrealistic to the point of being fantastical.
It doesn't matter if you want to improve your circumstances if you don't have the money or resources to do it.
And, we know poor people are not a large voting block but those who feel threatened by minorities in competing for jobs are. We know poor neighborhoods are the most neglected as the higher sources of property tax revenues need to be kept happy for good reason.
They also know religion is a large group in MS and the center of much social interaction. So politicians cater to those constituents too.
Lately, some Republicans forgot women are a large voting block as well. Women also can still think with the head above their necks when the candidate is a pretty/sexy woman.
And, as always, those of us who are not political groupies or blindly loyal aka " swing voters" are overlooked.
This is why there is not the usual Red Wave at mid-terms, some of you are way too full of yourselves but unaware that slowly, you are losing the women as you've lost the young people ( they left).
The mayor, as mayors go is hardly the worst in Jackson has had. And, only a very few know how truly, personally immoral or corrupt a few of the more "admired" were.
And, please,stop bashing the Capitol City. You say "leave" and even if we wanted to, you keep making that more difficult. Your "bashing" doesn't improve our property values or help businesses or restaurants. Are you truly so dense you don't understand that?
And, STILL you can't "get" that Capitol cities relocating is rare, even of countries and not done here...maybe we have no historic alternates is why even when Jackson burned to the ground, there was no where else to go.

A 20” water main can carry up to 4 times as much as a 10” pipe.

Wait on 11/22/22 Chokwe can run things as he sees fit. There are no discords between the Governor or Mayor. The media has made that abundantly clear right? Not to worry help is on the way as employee from California are arriving Monday to get the COJ going. The State has No Authority in managing the water or trash in Jackson or other cities in MS. The Governor was told his help was not wants it needed right? Now move along Christmas is on the way.

The contract employees from Kalifornia will be paid $40/hour! Maybe if Jackistan offered something similar they could attract full-time certified operators. Of course they would have to pay Chowke a commission, right?

11:16 I think you meant “conversation.” Anyway, you’re close. First, he’s got to lift it up. The conversation phase comes after the lifting up stage.

I’m not sure why 12:26 picked 9:56 to unload on, but whatever. Lumumba deserves every bit of snark and sarcasm aimed his way. And as mayor’s go, he is the worst and it’s not even close. Sure, a couple others royally f***ed the city, but when it comes to ongoing deceit and incompetence, Lumumba’s in a class all his own.

November 11, 2022 at 12:26 PM, I do hope there were no disagreements among your different personalities as you were writing that tome. I say this from your excessive use of “we”. Peace.

Save us Socrates
