Talking tariffs with Kathleen Thomas, an economic professor at Mississippi State University
SUMMARY: Tariffs, essentially taxes on imported goods, can lead to increased prices for consumers on items from Canada and Mexico, affecting everything from grocery bills to gas prices. Products like avocados, beer, and oil are heavily imported, and potential tariffs could inflate costs quickly. While tariffs aim to address trade imbalances, they often result in retaliatory measures from affected countries, exacerbating a trade war that ultimately harms consumers. Economists warn that prolonged tariffs may lead to inflation and lower economic growth by stifling innovation and disrupting supply chains, especially for industries reliant on global imports.

Mississippi bill would end DEI ideology in state’s higher education | Mississippi
SUMMARY: Mississippi state Sen. Angela Burks Hill has proposed Senate Bill 2223, aimed at eliminating diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives in the state’s higher education system. The bill would prohibit public institutions from using funds to support DEI offices or personnel and ban diversity training and preferential treatment based on race, sex, or ethnicity. Additionally, schools must report compliance and reallocate funds previously designated for DEI towards merit scholarships and tuition. The bill is under consideration by the Mississippi Senate Universities and Colleges Committee. Another bill, 2515, is also being reviewed, focusing on the efficiency of the public university system.

SUMMARY: Saint Andrew’s Episcopal School is quiet as an influenza outbreak leads to the closure of all grades on Friday. The decision was made to help students recover and minimize community spread. Following advice from school nurses, high schoolers were sent home Thursday, with elementary students following Friday, halting classes until Monday. The Mississippi Department of Health reports that flu cases in the metro area have doubled recently, likely due to post-holiday school attendance. Health officials advise getting flu shots and keeping sick children at home to protect health as case numbers are expected to decrease with warmer weather in March.
