Gender investment gap with Women and Engagement
SUMMARY: Recent research from Fidelity Investments reveals that while women typically spend less time on investments compared to men, 70% now own stock market investments. Laura Capista, head of women and engagement at Fidelity, highlights the importance of understanding women’s financial needs and goals, such as preparing for retirement and building generational wealth. Women primarily seek investment ideas from research, financial advisors, and trusted friends, though Gen Z tends to rely on social media despite acknowledging it as untrustworthy. Capista emphasizes that anyone can start investing with minimal amounts and advocates saving 3-6 months of expenses as an emergency fund alongside investing 15% of income.
Studies show women spend less time investing their money in different areas than men.

SUMMARY: U.S. Marine Corps General Eric Smith toured Engle Shipyard, showcasing the USS Harrisburg and USS Bogen, two advanced warships designed for diverse missions like power projection, humanitarian aid, and crisis response. Smith described these vessels as “Swiss Army knives” of the fleet, emphasizing their cutting-edge technology and capabilities. The USS Harrisburg, the 14th San Antonio class ship, and the USS Bogen, the third America class ship, serve as vital deterrents against threats from Russia and China. The shipyard’s role is crucial in supporting national defense strategies by enabling the Marine Corps and Navy to project power globally.

Community to choose between two potential locations for new Biloxi Upper Elementary School
SUMMARY: Buxy Upper Elementary School, originally built in 1961 and serving various educational levels, is being considered for a new purpose as the community evaluates a new location for elementary students. Superintendent Buo emphasized the need for a modern facility, stating the current building, designed for high school students, is unsuitable for younger grades. Two potential sites are being considered: next to the existing school and the former Michelle Junior High property on Popsy Road. Community sentiment leans toward the latter option. Buo assured that the historic current building would remain standing for district and community needs. Final site decisions will be made by December 4th.
A public forum will be held Dec. 4th at 5 p.m. in the Biloxi Schools Performing Arts Center.

Frustrations heightening as potholes from I-10 roadwork lead to traffic jams, incidents
SUMMARY: Road work on I-10 is causing significant disruptions for drivers, particularly around Diamond Head and Harrison County. Potholes and crumbling pavement have led to traffic jams and emergency repairs. One driver, Edna D, reported her car lifting off the ground after hitting a pothole, damaging her windshield. Mississippi Department of Transportation project manager Tanner Briyan explained that the potholes are caused by inadequate drainage pipes unable to support heavy trucks. Currently, repairs are underway, and shoulder lanes will be closed until the issues are resolved to ensure driver safety and smoother traffic flow.
Roadwork continues on I-10 in Harrison County, and it’s been a bumpy road thus far for drivers.
