Louisiana is one of the richest states for natural resources and has been producing oil and gas since the early 20th century. In addition, the state is located at the mouth of the largest river in the nation. Not to mention casinos, "sportsman's paradise", timber, and petrochemical industry. One would think that Louisiana would be ranked top 5 nationally for economic prosperity. However, somehow Louisiana is last or close to last in education, infrastructure, roads, etc. So what happened? We are overrun with crooks, bums, con men, and grifters running the state. Politicians, attorneys, and construction companies make billions of dollars funded by taxpayers and yet we continually elect career politicians and expect the next governor, senator, or parish president will be better than the last. So I pose the question, can Louisiana ever be fixed?

We elected a democrat governor because the opponent liked pussy then we followed it up by electing a retarded far right doofus who’s only concern is optics.

This state can’t be fixed.

What is wrong with it? And don't give me a bunch of statistics. People can come up with statistics to prove anything.

No due to population and culture.

We don't care about education, we accept to the point of embracing corruption, we legislate on socially conservative issues in a way that discourages out of state investment or talented younger people from moving, our middle age to elderly demographic are fiscally liberal in looking for their hand outs, and our major cities elect progressives who worsen the crime and cost of living issues there.

This isn't even getting to the issues that can't be fixed like natural disasters and infrastructure improvements being limited based on geological problems.

But we have great food, nice people, and amazing fishing.

They seem to think everything will be fine if they keep me safe from eating THC gummies.

Vote better.

With that said, the majority want handouts and free stuff and will keep voting the same way so common sense people are outnumbered in today's America.

No. But the silver lining is you have a chance that the rest of the country eventually sinks to your level (not intended to be a sea level joke, but a happy coincidence)
