Heard this is going to happen in June. That's 300+ high-paying tech jobs gone. Not a good year for New Orleans so far.

White-collar / Corporate jobs will be a thing of the past in Louisiana pretty soon.

That GE office isn't a H1 factory. Lots of local grads work there.

Going to be great when the only white collar jobs left are shitty personal injury lawyers.

Things have really gone to hell for NO since they took down those statues. Maybe they should put them back up. What could it hurt at this point?

Probably because they got tired of being essentially robbed by that idiot government.

LaToya is doing such a great job. Keep the city closed as long as you can and see what happens.

Probably isn't covid related, but the economics of the city/state probably did play a role in this.
