So the best NOLA can do is the 9th best GDP on the African continent?

It’s not her job

Her job is to worry about this city

How many other mayors that cities are in complete shambles are jet setting to foreign 3rd World Countries looking to make trade deals and promoting tourism?

Ghana's economy is actually growing nicely, as is a lot of Africa. As far as resources attractive to South La Oil and Coffee are two I could see.

For the mayor? I am assuming she liked her trip there a few years ago and wanted to bring her staff as a Christmas present of sorts.

We are part of a criminal empire smuggling money and guns through the ports of New Orleans. The guns and drugs are going through Cuba, Haiti, Ghana as part of secret CIA mission to stop Nigerian frauds. It is kinda like the CIA and Nigeria and Iran contra. 4D chess.

If we would drop the embargo Cuba would be a great partner to have.

It's a symbolic SJW trip at best. There won't be 20k in commerce that results from it.

If I were a NOLA resident, this mindset would bother me.

Marc Morial did. Was on a plane with him once.

Always wondered why he didn't pay the difference out of his own pocket and get into first class.

So tell me more about how encouraging foreign companies and promoting tourism isn't part of a Mayors job.
