That was back in Mississippi in 1996. As many in the legal world recall, the newest U.S. Supreme Court justice Brett Kavanaugh hired all female clerks. That created a new record at SCOTUS: For the first time the majority of clerks are females. Serving in such a prestigious position can and usually does put a career on an accelerated upward trajectory. Therefore this initiative will directly help the professional lives of females.    Now this.

 On Odwyerpr.com , Kevin McCauley discloses this: On June 8th, Trent Lott was not sacked by law-lobbying firm Squire Patton Boggs because of baggage associated with his Mississippi roots. Now we know. At least not primarily. Instead, SPB discovered that Lott was planning to leave the law-lobbying firm. He and his long-time colleague John Breaux were planning to join lobbying firm Crossroads Strategies.    Trent had come to Patton Boggs in 2010.

The new one has no place for Trent Lott - the man from Mississippi who had made good. The world order changed with death of George Floyd. So it's expected that Squire Patton Boggs would cut its ties with him. Since 2010, Lott had been one of its heavyweight lobbyists, with clients ranging from Airbus to Nissan. At the time Lott was working in his own lobbying boutique. He stayed with the firm he had joined after the merger of Patton Boggs and Squire Sanders.

The New York Post not only reports the suicide of Mississippi police officer Russ Robinson. He had used his police car as a way to set up a situation in which he could molest a 17-year-old boy. When the authorities began to investigate, Robinson ended his life with a gun. In addition, the Post provides a box of links to other recent suicides. It's becoming the road more traveled. And not only for males.

Dr. Nikki Paterson, a surgeon loved in her Mississippi community, died while struggling in natural childbirth. Even in more socially stable times, marriage was risky for females. The peril was not that the husband would abandon the wife. No, it was the possibility of dying in childbirth. And that remains a danger in these more medically sophisticated times. The daughter who was born has also died. Here are the details from USA Today.

Jackson, Mississippi. The BigUncertainty for the aging in relocating for a lower cost of living is this: That might not last.    For example, cities in southern Arizona had represented Paradise for retirees and the semi-retired. Then the middle class throughout California could no longer afford the state. They migrated to nearby states, including AZ. That drove up costs, especially rent.

The effectiveness of any leader is not determined during a campaign appearance or positive earning announcement, but rather during a time of crisis. Three days ago my hometown was decimated. My place of employment as a teenager now resides in the Atlantic Ocean. Much of where I spent my childhood no longer exists.

I used to write for an executive from Mississippi. Heres a question that comes up nearly every week from someone: How much do I need to write for a speech of XX minutes? Seems like an innocent question. Unfortunately, reality and experience suggest otherwise. My general rule of thumb on the length of speeches is to write – as a first draft – 135 words per delivered minute. Notice I said “as a first draft” and “general rule of thumb.” Exceptions abound.

If they choose a retirement location with a lower cost of living, such as Mississippi, the funds could be enough for about 25  years of not working. Those aging  should be worried that what they put together as a retirement nest egg won't last long  - at least not long enough.    WalletHub's study found that even a $1 million won't do the trick. For those retiring today in Hawaii, for example, that will support them for about 12 years.
