and installing the worst kind of cronies and grifters all across the executive branch and statewide boards. And punishing perceived enemies who didn’t kiss the ring (sound familiar?)

I predict that the Landry administration will go down as the most ineffective and backwards looking in many many decades. He is doubling down on the very institutional calcification that got us here in the first place. Louisiana is in a bad spot, all the way around. Demographics, income, industry diversification, land loss, education, tech advancement, brain drain, etc etc etc. it can be saved but it will take real leadership and extreme measures of change in the way things are done and with who does them. I am not optimistic for the young people of this state

our citizens keep getting dumber and fatter and more lawless every day. But hey, pigs to the slaughter and all that

Kind of expected this when a Catholic with a Cajun family name from Acadiana was elected. Saying this as someone with a sort of similar background….a lot of us seem to want a king and not a governor.

IMO that same demographic that helps make this state so badass and awesome culturally but contributes greatly towards its decline politically. It’s one big and obvious way that south Louisiana differs so much from the rest of the south.
