Mississippi’s primary “industry” in the years before the Second Great Depression was gambling. Casinos dominated every shoreline and beach throughout the State, competing to bring vacationers from all around the United States and beyond. This made them highly resistant to many of the worst effects of the general collapse that accompanied the depression. “Misery loves company” is a saying that has an odd amount of truth, and their gambling businesses actually saw rising profits as the decay accelerated around the world. Those profits paid for expanded security of both the private and public variety, including AI networks, and their gambling districts never shut down. The lights never went out in Mississippi.
