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.
