Do you think that Jackson will have skyscrapers, like some major cities in the US, someday?

Are you talking about Chicgo/NYC type skyscrapers or something like the 40 story building in Little Rock - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simmons_Tower

Interesting fact, I worked across the street from the Simmons Tower when this happened - Book: McVeigh eyed Little Rock | TheCabin.net

You are wrong.

The tallest building in downtown Jackson is Regions Plaza at 318 feet. The Simmons Tower in Little Rock is over 550 feet.

Yeah, dude needs to work on his Google-fu. Both Little Rock and Mobile have multiple buildings that dwarf ours.

Those so-called "Skyscrapers" are OF-THE-DEVIL. They are an abdomination.

They exist in heathen-infested places, such as that so-called "Chicago", and the crawling-with-lieberals heckhole those "people" call "New York City".

There are no "Skyscrapers" in Jackson, because it is the HOLY CITY, home of 1B: the church with the LARGEST ORGAN IN NORTH AMERICA: Keates-Geissler Organ, First Baptist Church, Jackson, MS (largest organ, that is, south of Washington D.C., which does not count, since that "district" is the Home Office of the Antichrist and his minions).

You are a good person, Grasshopper. Your intent is not to harm, and your motives are pure. So, rather than rebuke you for mentioning those vile tools-o'-Beelzebub "Skyscrapers", I am going to share the truth with you.

First, I would like you to consider the nature of one of those "skyscrapers". They are very tall. They require what the people who style themselves as "scientists" would have you to believe are "foundations". Otherwise, we are told, these tall buildings will "fall over". Now, anybody with good sense knows that all you have to do, to get a building started, is pour a concrete slab on the ground. That's how we do it, in Mississippi: just pour that slab, and get to building. Simple. Nothing falls over. Buildings might get sucked up into the sky, during one of our frequent Mini-Raptures (which Lieberal Demoncrats call "tornadoes": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1966_C...k_Park_tornado), existing to speedily evacuate the faithful from this sinful Earth, via whirlwinds of righteousness. But that's only natural. It is ORDAINED.

What is NOT natural, and NOT ordained, is the "foundation". I know this will shock you with its counter-intuitive ridiculousness, but the taller the "Skyscraper", the deeper (in the opinions of the "Scientists") its "foundations" are deemed as "needing" to sink into the earth. Now, I don't have to tell you what's DOWN THERE. (The H-word-place, Satan, and Demons-galore). There's a reason why an ordained and dig-certified minister is required for supervision of all wells dug in Mississippi. He's there to call a halt to digging, at the first indication that the well is getting too close to the "crust" at the edge of the Bad Place.

The higher a "Skyscraper" reaches up toward The Heavens, the closer its foundations get to you-know-where. But, on our way down into the building excavator's pit of sin, let us pause for a moment, to consider something else. In the course of their "excavations", builders are required to note any "finds", including evidence of "ancient civilizations", and even the bones of the mythical "Dinosaurs" (such ridiculous myths would have been debunked, long ago, but for the fact that they serve the Devil's Agenda).

You were raised right, and so I know that you know that there were no "ancient civilizations", and there certainly were none of those "Dinosaur" cryptids. The gullible, however, are easily led to believe the most ridiculous things. Even though it is a known fact, that the world was created two thousand and fifteen years ago, the deceitful continue to spin their yarns about the supposed times in "The BC" (Before Creation). Which brings us back to Satan's Agenda: When those excavators find "Dinosaur bones", what do you think they really are? I'm sure you've already guessed that what the "Scientists", called to the site, are really digging-up are demon bones, and DEMON EGGS. These are carried back to laboratories in Washington DC, and incubated.

But that's just a byproduct of the whole Skyscraper Agenda. The REAL, primary mission is to give demons in the Bad Place (the H-Word Place) access to The Heavens. They were trying to do it, back when they built that Tower of Babylon. Back then, a demon would wear itself out, climbing all those stairs. Today, though, there are elevators, going all the way from the "sub basements" of those evil towers, all the way to the top. Those demons sneak into Paradise, bright-eyed and bushy-tailed : REFRESHED, after their cushy rides in those air-conditioned elevators - ready to do the bidding of their Satan Daddy. Now, isn't that just so nice and convenient? It's a sure sign of the End Times.

Just as soon as he gets rid of the abortion clinic and "The Gays", we have been assured that our wonderful Governor, Feel Bouffant, will be outlawing elevators. Getting rid of abortions and that Gay Marriage probably will be enough to guarantee that no sinful Skyscrapers will ever be built in Mississippi. But outlawing elevators will be added insurance.

Thank you for this opportunity to share.

"Skyscrapers" are only cost-effective when there isn't enough land available for shorter buildings, or if a very rich developer is trying to show off. Costs increase exponentially the taller you go. Why pay for a 500-ft tall building in downtown Jackson when you can buy three entire blocks of dilapidated buildings, blow them up, and construct much shorter versions for much less money?

Yeah, in fact, downtown Little Rock has five buildings taller than the tallest building Jackson.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_o...in_Little_Rock

Little Rock has a decent skyline for a city its size. It actually has two skyscrapers taller than the tallest buildings in Memphis.
