Many US cities have wires overhead to let Jews hide from God

No, they aren't electrical wires, they're translucent wires that let Orthodox Jews do things on the Sabbath that they otherwise wouldn't.
They exist in Manhattan, St. Louis, Atlanta, Baltimore, Chicago, Dallas, and numerous other cities across the country.

The eruv encircles much of Manhattan, acting as a symbolic boundary that turns the very public streets of the city into a private space, much like one's own home. This allows people to freely communicate and socialize on the Sabbath—and carry whatever they please—without having to worry about breaking Jewish law.

Do Catholics have that for Fridays during Lent?

I used to be a good shabbos goy and helped a neighbor do tasks on the Sabbath that she couldn't get done. In return she'd make sure our lawn was mowed and cared for. shite like this brings back hilarious stories and memories

They shouldn't need to put up a wire to carry. I don't think they'd have to do that in Louisiana.
Or Texas...

I'm Jewish and I think some of the laws are the dumbest shite. Kosher is arbitrary bullshite from the Torah that's just an excuse to charge triple these days. Cultural only for me

They have one in Metry, but not New Orleans.
The levee in Metry is part of the eruv. It can be a wire (actually a string made out of linen I think) or some sort of permanant structure.
Basically allows the Jewish community to treat the community as their home. They can carry their house key or infant child for instance. Still aren't allowed to make fire or drive.
Think they can ride a bike, but that is a shady area.
