They didn’t forget. They love empty streets and being at a podium every day.

I don't think my suggestion was well received, any workers that reside in Orleans would be banned from coming back until further notice.

It isn’t as if it will make a difference.

Of all the cities shutdown, NO has nothing to rebound with.

The entire city is built on tourism, concerts, festivals, etc.

No one will visit NO for a while because those aren’t coming back for a while.

New Orleans is probably the most screwed location in the USA.

Time for insurrection

Founding fathers fought a war for leaders not to tell us what to do

Cruise Lines, airlines, Ski Resorts, beach towns, Vegas and resorts, will all get hammered.

We have stayed open this entire time. Dealt with customers new and old. Started increasing in business the last two weeks actually. Disinfected and sterilized. Have yet to have a single issue.

And I’m in Nola

Why does she need to extend it to 5/16 right now? Can’t she wait until 5/1 and take it from there?



People thinking they were on the precipice of returning to normal then having the rug pulled out from under them at the last minute definitely wouldn't have upset anyone.

When a city wages war on historical statues and then decides to take preventive measures while in preventative measures, you soon realize that the level of intelligence governing is non-existent. Unless of course this is planned for nefarious reasons, then it all makes sense.

Absolutely, but they at least have casinos and sports betting.

The crowds will be smaller, but people will still go.

NO doesn’t have any consistent taxable system to rely on.

Vegas is definitely screwed though.

The Port. Why do people always forget this? Tourism, festivals and the food are why people love coming to New Orleans.

Beach places should come back more quickly since you can social distance on beach and just hang out in condo

I saw an article the other day that mentions Orlando and Vegas being put in a very serious bind by this. They could be in worse shape than NOLA. At least NOLA has the port.

Yeah shutdown the Port and the River and see how the rest of the country functions then.

Who said to shut it down?

Is the port enough to keep the city of NO afloat?

The port is big but tourism really drives the economy because so many work in the hospitality and service industry compared to shipping.

She really thinks if she keeps this charade up that she’ll get some of that federal government cheese. She don’t give a frick about business. She’s trying to protect her voting base which is the welfare queens. What a fricking disgrace.
