Have you ever been forced to leave your home? People tend to not want to just give it up. These people have memories of this place and your grand solution is they should move.
You also talk like anyone can just uproot their lives like it's such an easy thing to do.

yes. multiple moves have been forced due to bad situations, both with govt decisions, and job changes.
>People tend to not want to just give it up.
then dont. but it IS a bed of the own making, by the majority of the people in Mississippi
>These people have memories of this place and your grand solution is they should move.
or deal with the consequences of the decisions the people of Mississippi people chose.
again. let me be blunt. this situation exists because the people of the state voted for those in power who created this.
because of decades of this, the choices have now been reduced to live under the misery, or move to a different state.
>You also talk like anyone can just uproot their lives like it's such an easy thing to do.
its not easy. but sometimes it is necessary
the situation in Mississippi has been the way it is for many decades. this didnt sneak up on anyone, and the majority of the state voted for this, repeatedly, over many decades, so there is almost no chance for improvement anytime soon.
