How To Fix Mississippi's Liquor Delivery Backlog Issue In 2 Weeks Or Less (With Shaun Yurtkuran)

In this guest-hosted episode of The Andrew Gasser Show, Clay Edwards and Shaun Yurtkuran tackle Mississippi's liquor distribution crisis at the ABC warehouse, where a catastrophic backlog—stemming from a botched software rollout, the removal of an outdated conveyor system without a replacement, and a hasty switch to a pallet-based order fulfillment—has left over 200,000 cases of liquor undelivered despite prepaid orders. They explore the devastating impacts on bars, restaurants, and casinos, including tied-up capital, shrinking inventories, and potential closures or job losses in an industry that employs thousands statewide. The duo proposes short-term fixes like hotshot deliveries, scheduled will-calls, and increased manpower, while advocating for long-term privatization through distributors to remove government inefficiency. Drawing on historical roots from post-Prohibition moral codes and illegal "Gold Coast" operations, they discuss how the debacle could reshape the 2027 gubernatorial race, forcing candidates to address economic fallout and moral dilemmas in a conservative state.
