That day should be mourned not celebrated. When the first Landrieu took office, New Orleans was the 19th biggest city in America. We were bigger than cities like Nashville, Atlanta, Charlotte and Miami. We were an economic powerhouse and our oil, gas and port business led the nation. 50 years of Landrieus later, New Orleans is not even the largest city in the state. Companies that started here like Ruth's Chris are moving their headquarters to other cities. As these other cities built themselves into international business hubs, New Orleans shrunk to a government dependent charity case with the highest regressive costs in the nation for its citizens. It is a city economically hostile to the working class. The Median household income of a New Orleans resident is $36,964 a year. The US average is $53,482 a year. Our murder rate is perpertually at the top of the US rankings while are schools are perpetually ranked at the bottom. ACT scores for the students who take it in Orleans Parish are three points lower on average than the cities mentioned above. Our roads are perpetually the worst in the nation. Our infrastructure has been ignored for that same 50 years. Celebrate the Landrieu Dynasty? Hell no, I damn it.

Can you take this garbage to the board that is actually the place where we are supposed to discuss politics?

What a joke of a family. They’ve ran everything into the ground.

This is what happens when quarantines aren't strictly enforced between boards. Travel, movie/TV and food and drink threads are moved to their respective boards with the quickness. Politics not so much. Sad!

I had a single business negotiation with one of the core Landrieu family members.

It contained the phrase from them “Don’t you know who we are?”

I answered that I wouldn’t hold that against them.

Conversation over.

Why do you feel the need to make things up? Nobody cares.

yes Landrieu integrated City Hall. Oh the horrors.
New Orleans issues began decades before when they basically ran-off or locked-out any non-tourist/restaurant entrepreneur from the city. The old guard didn't want the competition. Still don't.They relied on Oil and Gas and shipbuilding. They sent the middle class AAs packing to Atlanta. In the 1980s, Oil and Gas collapsed, and the white-collar jobs moved out of state. Ship building became a shell.
Economic protectionism, subsidy of incumbent industries...still happening.

Are you better off today, than you were 50 years ago?

I don't go to New Orleans anymore. The last time I was there for a Sugar Bowl, there was a half burned down house and homeless camping under the bridge at the Vieu Carre exit.

Atlanta had the same problem around the Braves stadium, built with Olympic Games money, sketchy neighborhood. Is Atlanta better than they were 50 years ago?

Atlanta corruption is comparable to New Orleans corruption, it's just not one family.
