How accurate is this assessment by this guy? Do any of you know him?

I don’t know if the trial lawyers are the most upset about it or not but it doesn’t really matter. The richest man on the planet isn’t gonna be bullied by a bunch of good ole boy lawyers from the south. It’s in their best interest just to get out of his way.

I really don't see what it has to do with the trial lawyers. It's not like the amount of car wrecks is going to go down because of Space X.

Shouldn’t the construction of star base be good for pi lawyer business?

good for pi lawyer


The construction, yes because of workplace injury suits. However, the rest no because the legislature passed general sweeping immunity for rocket companies and lawsuits from trespassing, smoke, odors, sonic booms and other property nuisances.

They’re just pissed because rocket launches put upward pressure on the price of crawfish.

That is definitely some of that. But the ones I mostly see are very young liberals.

We've tried to live in the 1950s for the past 70 years and it ain't working.

Don't worry about the mule going blind, just load the wagon.

That’s why they are upset. It’s been a good run lately for that good ole boy network.

They’re mad primarily because Landry spends a lot of time with them behind closed doors, but cut them out of this deal because Musk doesn’t want them involved.

Yeah, I don't see what it has to do with trial lawyers. Seems like he threw that in there to get attention and clicks. If I read it right, the only immunity change was related to suits filed as a result of the rocket launches. Those suits wouldn't be coming from the traditional trial lawyers.

I honestly believe that the folks 50 and up that are against true progress are like that because they want to believe the best days are behind us and LA can never be as good as they remember it.

A certain portion of every generation wants to think that all the good will die off with them.

Go read r/acadiana

Mainly liberals whining.

Those and the few that own a duck camp in that area.

Those that work and want this state to be better are mostly excited.

This is true. You have spoiled their duck hunting camps in Vermillion Bay.

Maybe partially true. I don’t know about trial lawyers, but in addition to the usual suspects against progress (lefties) I personally know a couple good ole boy sugarcane farmer types that aren’t thrilled. Change is at hand in this very backward state and a lot of “powerful” people are going to feel threatened in the process.

correct

most of the whining i have seen is

1) trial lawyers or other ones with power down there that know this is going to remove all power they had

2) liberals....mainly from New Orleans ironically. they hate it was a Republican in office and that it involves Elon

3) those with duck camps some but mainly people who love to sit on the porch of their trailer, receive gov assistance, trash up the yard and just want to live like its 1952 still and call it "a way of life". Think the video of the "swamp queen" Liz that was posted


4) the last one is the members of CAFE, Citizens against fricking Everything. They literally whine about every single fricking thing. 95% are white and black women. they just love to bitch.
