re: Should North LA pay for coastal hurricane power grid repair? Foster Campbell says "NO"

Is Entergy still the only Fortune 500 company headquartered in the New Orleans area? Even Monroe has or had one of those recently, which says a lot about the shitty business climate in south Louisiana.

As of 2020, it was Centurylink (NorthLa) and Entergy (SouthLa). I think Centurylink is still headquartered in Monroe right now but I thought I had heard they were trying to get out or they did or something.

I semi-enjoy antagonizing these threads bc everyone gets so uptight. South La definitely takes the north for granted though.

Also, back to my original statement, Shreveport and that greater part of the NW part of the state doesn't even use Entergy. If Alexandria and above were to become its own state or part of Texas, Arkansas, or even Mississippi it would be in a better place than it is now.

ETA: Alex and Shreveport both have better airports than any city here not named Nola. fwiw.
