What a fricking joke. It's hard to feel sorry for a city that elected such a piece of shite to the office of mayor. But... they have a clear record of electing pieces of shite.

The comments on social media are overwhelmingly in favor of this decision. It's both astounding and terrifying.



All I've learned through all of this is how people desire to be ruled over and put forth the minimum effort in living their lives. If the government can give them money and they can stay home, the majority are more than happy to follow along.

Assume you meant Mamou, but regardless, cancelling Mamou Mardi Gras ain't happening short of a nuclear bomb hitting.

I hate this shite as much as the next person, but be honest: is this factually wrong?



Yes. The second it was okay only for protesting, it was factually wrong.

honestly don’t see how restaurants and bars make it now. This was their last holdout. Without Mardi Gras, their budget is completely blown


I guess maybe they can hold out for jazz fest, assuming it can happen they will be able to book whoever they want with all the starving artist.

Maybe that’s enough of a draw but people won’t pack the fairground if it gets pushed back to July

It’s pretty scary to think what New Orleans is going to look like

Fitting that the country's most authentic Mardi Gras is still on

Maybe this is chance for them to take back some of the glory

What would be different to warrant having Jazz fest but not Mardi gras?

This is what people voted for, Biden, Latoya, etc.

So now we get to see how bad it actually gets and if people care enough to stand up to this nonsense. I'm guessing no one does.

Won't the vaccine be distributed before Mardi Gras? I thought the vaccine meant the end to all of this bullshite.

Slidell is still on. They’re having all of their parades in one weekend.
