Mississippi has that "Good ole Boy System" at play and doesn't care to invest more in industry and technology....especially the Delta.
That plus nobody wants to live anywhere near our state capital and the stereotype isn't wrong....we have the dumbest people in America. Yes there are some bright minds that emerge from this place but majority of the population has a below average IQ.

Fat, poor, stupid.
The average Louisiana resident is at least 2 out of the 3.
Additionally, the state is run by plaintiff attorneys operating in a completely corrupt state judicial system, and catering to a populace almost unanimously possessing the above traits. In other words, people with incentive to sue. Litigation is essentially Louisiana's biggest industry at this point.

The Huntsville tech and Airbus and Austal in Mobile is a large part of what is keeping Alabama from being in the same group as MS and LA.
Those plans were put in motion long ago. They had the wherewithal to know what will drive businesses to the state.
Look at Mobile for example - their whole downtown has changed to bring people to the city. Good jobs in and around Mobile, great streets, still tons of crime but not terrible and proximity to the beaches in FL.
Whoever chose to revitalize Mobile needs a raise.
Now compare it with Louisiana. Their most famous city is a shithole, crime and rat infested city that constantly floods. Zero attraction for businesses. Ask Shell leaving for your why.

The poster I replied to edited his post saying LA and MS have the most black people. LA and GA have the same percentage of black residents - 33%'ish. LA has more white people than Georgia. Georgia has more other

Maybe so but it appears more of the money collected in taxes makes it back into the roads and landscaping in Mississippi instead of a politicans cousin or whatever.

Florida has no industry.
At least Louisiana has O&G and toxic byproducts. Consider yourself lucky.
Edit. I take it back. Florida does have a dirty little secret called phosphate mining. It just doesn’t take that many people to strip mine.

State: We need to upgrade roads and infrastructure
Local Parish: that sounds good, you have to use my brother-in-law‘s cement company, my sister-in-law‘s Contractor company , my cousins sod company , my third cousin twice remove consulting firm , and my buddies engineering company that he set up yesterday.

Did you ever take Louisiana history? Noticed how I said "history." Most of our states constitution and regulatory structure was established during the Long and Edwards eras. I also think conservatives can be "populist" too. Landry is a good example in the way he is going after useless social issues the boomers go crazy about instead of fixing the budget or economy.
Landry isn’t a populist he won off one issue which is JBE, Cantrell, and Broom refused to do anything about crime and he simply said he would.
Landry is your typical Louisiana politician who feed in to the social populist issues because it allows him yo help his attorney buddies and continue to sink the state.
You also can’t still blame politicians form a 100 years ago for our current issues

Unfortunately he's just more of the same. Exactly what we didn't need.
