Yeah that's not at all how shipbuilding works. Nobody is paying Americans to build ships that don't have to be jones act compliant.

Could be totally unrelated, but I did notice an unusually large number of private jets from Austin coming into MSY today.

September, 2017: "Gov. John Bel Edwards said Wednesday that Amazon is planning to build a new regional distribution in Louisiana, according to the Baton Rouge Business Report. But the governor told the publication Thursday that he misspoke."

How in the hell can you mis-speak about something like that?

He is raising corporate taxes 10%. He figures the Republicans going to lower corporate tax rates so it’s really a wash.

Saying it was tech related, yes. That covered most of the possibilities though.

Here's the official statement from DXC: LINK

DXC’s partnership with the City and State will extend to local educational institutions – including Louisiana State University, Southeastern Louisiana University, University of New Orleans, and Delgado Community College – to recruit talent, develop technology education programs, and provide ongoing learning and development opportunities for employees. This initiative represents the state’s largest single higher-education investment in a private-sector workforce partnership, seeking to expand the number of degrees awarded annually in computer science, management, and science, technology, engineering and math, or STEM-related studies.

DXC’s Digital Transformation Center will focus on the development, delivery and ongoing support of next-generation digital services and solutions including applications, cloud computing, cybersecurity, data analytics, and intelligent automation that serve the company’s global clients. The company intends to begin operations in New Orleans in January 2018 at a location in the city’s Central Business District to be finalized soon. Recruiting and initial hiring for available positions will begin immediately.
