Well, of course, they know a hotbed of intellectuals when they see one.

It's time for LA to share the carpetbagger burden.

Once they see what Microsoft saw and now with the abortion stuff and planned parenthood changes, they won’t last long

It’s not about agreeing or disagreeing on beliefs, it’s companies like that are quite woke and just aren’t gonna be ok with southern conservative beliefs


Those same companies flock to Georgia, Florida, Texas, and Tennessee that all have similar laws.

Also saw that we're getting the Toy Fair in 2026. New York can suck it.

10 Direct jobs? And this is a headline why?


An international startup putting roots down sounds like something the BR Business Report should be covering.

They probably deferred all property taxes for the next 50 years in order to get them here.

So, about half the staff of a local Popeye's? I'm sure it'll generate more than enough tax revenue to solve the crime problem and fix all of the roads.

I'm not sure why people would shite on this. You've got a BR guy relocating headquarters to BR. It may not make sense to the average plant baw, but anytime we can get respected tech companies to the city is generally a good thing. I'd love to see a boom or resurgence to Louisiana. Help keep people here instead of watching them flee to Texas.

Welcome to BR, Gutsy. Hope a few others follow suit, just don't try and make Louisiana like SF, Portland, Seattle, NYC in terms of social degeneracy.

How much government intervention and tax dollars were spent getting these 10 jobs for people that probably hate us?
