Something like more than 7% of all households in Louisiana are either public housing or section 8 vouchers. Sad and only going to get worse. Most of these people have no intent to get off of welfare. It is a way of life, generationally. They live in relative luxury with AC, cell phones, flat screen tvs with HD satellite signal, internet with unlimited information, amazing fresh food available virtually 24 hours a day. All without requiring any or much work at all.

Most either drinking beer at the mini mart at 8am or diving an Escalade.

Trashy
No. Trashy is using food stamps to buy anything other than the bare essentials. Chips are not essential. Neither are cookies, crawfish, soft drinks, or steaks.
The fact that this doesn’t bother you is extremely disturbing.

Yes.

You have a good point. We live in the most food plentiful environment in the history of humanity. Instead of food stamps, provide part of that subsidy to purchase gardening soil, seeds, and fertilizer. Make people start taking some responsibility for getting what they need to work.
Obesity is a pandemic that makes covid look like a hangnail but we just turn our eye and preach how we shouldn’t fat shame people.

Louisiana has about 1.6 million households and over 400,000 households (not people) are on food stamps and 1.5 million people on Medicaid. Does this seem pretty high to anyone else? Why is this?
This is what happens when teaching the philosophy of personal responsibility is done away with in favor of teaching "government will do that for you" and "take personal pride in allowing government to provide for you and your family instead of doing so yourself".

How many of the 400K are couples not married with kids with one making a good living yet they take advantage of broken system.

Driving record being equal, why should my liability insurance as a lawyer be cheaper than the roustabout or the rice miller?
Because insurance companies look at macro data to determine likelihood of payouts based on demographics and lower credit scores/income are associated with more claims, lapses in coverage, and policy infringements.

Because actuarially you are less of a risk.
But then again I learned that math is racist, so nevermind.

When you can get free housing, food, phones, spending money for having more kids and getting them all "crazy checks", people learn how to game the system and do it on purpose. You put an end to some of that and it'll stop growing, but it's been going on for 40-50 years and you're "racist" if you actually wanted to put a stop to it.

Sad ain't it? Only going to get worse as we continue to put people like Edwards into office. More people on the dole=more federal funding. Non-stop gravy train for all except those that actually work for a living.

If auto insurers get to use credit score and charge more for blue collar workers than white collar workers in calculating rates, are you surprised ours are some of the highest in the nation? Seems we have a demography problem.
Is credit score an indicator of risk? Is risk relevant to an insurer? Why to ambulance chasers concentrate their advertising in poorer areas and on daytime TV? Is secondary gain a motivator in the pursuit of litigation against insurers? Does the ability to procure insurance have a material effect on whether someone wants to do business here and thereby create jobs?
