NDA’s are not required and other states have proven that

This deal could have been done without NDA’s but little Landry wanted it and maybe it’s much ado about nothing

I support the endeavor btw. I just know enough to know that signing the NDA’s was not a deal breaker

---

Out of curiousity:

1) if the terms of the deal state politicians are making is such a huge net positive for the average people in the state

2) and the private business would negotiate without an NDA

What exactly could be volatile enough in the agreement for state politicians to risk all the negative publicity in order to keep it from the public?

explain to me in detail with studies that show how space x and even nasa have destroyed the bird habitats around the centers please.
or is this one of the things, as I suspect, that you have no clue about in depth and just want to repeat things you heard?

South Louisiana is a huge wintering ground for @2 million ducks. No other space city has that population, so there is no study available for that situation. I do know that observations at the Boca Chica Starbase showed base activities have driven nesting shorebirds away, dropping nesting counts down to nearly zero in the blast zones. They also have had significant declines in shorebird populations.
If this plays out in a similar fashion, with a space city that has only 2 Launch pads, imagine the impact of a space city with 10 pads. The migratory waterfowl will leave and never come back.

Seems you may be the one who is uninformed of the potential consequences.

Economic impact >>> a few thousand people having to duck hunt somewhere else.

It may change the flyway, and that impacts a lot more than a few thousand up and down the Mississippi. Add the impact on commercial/recreational fishing and shrimping as well.

I don't hunt or fish in that area, but I understand their concerns.

I understand their concerns too. The largest economic investment in the State’s history and the potential for following investments as the base expands far outweighs those concerns.

No one’s hunting or fishing spot, or even all of them aggregated, comes close to that as a relative concern. Neither, for that matter, do birds in general. The deal would be worth it if no migratory bird ever flew over Vermillion Parish again.

A) you linked an opinion article

B) where is the documentation on the number of birds that were near Boca Chica before and after starbase? certainly if you are going to make the claim you have the numbers right

and do have the same type if hissy fit of ducks unlimited who have done more damage to the migratory bird population in South LA than spacex could only hope to do in a million lifetimes?

and even if there is damage to the migratory path...are you telling me that them not being able to travel a few more miles south and having to stop in the white lake conservation area is enough to drive 2 million away? they cant land in the east vermillon in rockefeller or all of the rest of cameron parish? or to the west at marsh island?

this little spot on pecan island that space x will take is suddenly going to drive all the migratory birds away in all of South LA?

gtfo

you are worried about the duck lease down there...guess what...nobody gives a frick. we arent stopping progress because a few ducks cant make it all the way down. go to California if you want regulation like that
