re: Spinoff: Why can't Louisiana be more like Texas economically?

Louisiana has the greatest people in the world. They are generous, kind, fun loving people. And there in lies the problem.

Since the days of Reconstruction Louisiana has been rife with corruption at all levels of government. Louisianians have come to not only accept it, but in a large part, laud it. They allow it. From Huey Long to Edwin fricking Edwards we've allowed and even celebrated the lining of pockets and brother-in-law deals that rob this state and it's people of hard earned money, and scares away businesses that want to build here.

Texans won't put up with that shite. And it shows in the economy, diversity of businesses, and overall growth.

Lifelong Texan piping in here. i agree with this. LA is my second favorite state. you have the best food, culture and friendliness of any other state in my travels.

but your schools and travel/traffic are just mindblowingly bad.

y'all need to stop letting people like JBE, Landrieu, and Ray Nagin in in office.
