Grocery store meat prices keep climbing, and that pushed me to start looking at farms around Mississippi instead. What I found surprised me: quiet gravel roads, small farm stores, and families who raise cattle and hogs on open pasture and sell straight to you. Buying beef and pork in bulk can stock your freezer for months, save trips to the store, and give kids a real look at where dinner comes from.

Elon Musk company started Mississippi data center without permits, state alleges

Mississippi’s environmental regulators released details this week on a set of penalties against SpaceXAI for violating state water pollution laws by starting construction on its Southaven data center facilities without needed permits. The company first announced the potential fines to investors two weeks ago, speculating the amount could reach as much as $6.1 million. To limit pollution from construction reaching public bodies of water, state law requires companies to first obtain a permit. Without proper protections, rain, for instance, can carry debris and chemicals off construction sites and pollute natural habitats, drinking water systems and recreational areas, federal regulators warn . Earlier this year, SpaceXAI – through its subsidiary, MZX Tech LLC – asked the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality for permits allowing construction within its growing Southaven footprint , which includes a power plant as well as land to build a $20 billion data center facility called MACROHARDRR. But during a July meeting between MDEQ and MZX Tech, “it became apparent” the company had already begun construction on the land in question, impacting about 30 acres, MDEQ records show. On July 16, a day after the meeting, MDEQ staff visited Southaven and confirmed the infractions. The agency sent two

Fraud Claims Not Barred by Contractual Waiver: Tennessee Court Affirms Punitive Damages Award Against General Contractor

The Tennessee Court of Appeals has upheld a punitive damages award against general contractor The Weitz Company, finding that the subcontract’s general waiver of special damages did not bar recovery for intentional misrepresentation. The case arose from construction of a multi-building retirement community in Shelby County, Tennessee. Weitz hired Commercial Painting Company to perform the drywall work. Disputes arose, litigation ensued, and the case tried to a jury in October 2018. The jury awarded Commercial Painting Company compensatory damages of $1,272,952.46 and punitive damages of $3.9 million. The trial court upheld this judgment after noting the jury’s findings that Weitz acted in bad faith that was “intentionally, recklessly, maliciously, or fraudulently such that the conduct was egregious.” The court found Weitz knew the project was eight months behind schedule but did not tell Commercial Painting about the delay, its plans to compress the construction schedule, or its plans to supplement Commercial Painting’s drywall work. Weitz also misrepresented the length of an extension it obtained from the project owner while imposing an unrealistic schedule to earn an early completion bonus. Weitz also “back charged” Commercial Painting for work necessitated by incorrect framing done by another subcontractor, repairs to damage caused by
