re: Trash in Baton Rouge

It’s a symptom of a broader mindset in Louisiana that there are two worlds and they don’t care what happens in the “other” one:

“I don’t care that public schools are bad. My kid goes to Newman.”

“I don’t care that crime is bad. Most of it is on the other side of town.”

“Litter on the interstate? Pfft, have you seen how nice MY neighborhood is?”

“Sure, Baton Rouge may be a shithole, but wait until we form St. George.”
