Do you know what a metaphor is?



Yes. I didn't literally believe you were suggesting Landry had technically declared war. And, you didn't really think that was what I believed. You are severely struggling to even have a productive conversation.

Ok...well it's not the meds that are impacting your argument.

Continue to ignore and refuse to admit you were wrong while continuing to respond to posters hurling personal attacks


Your inability to simply admit you were wrong is absolutely insane.




I bet you won’t respond but will respond to another poster hurling personal attacks

I would have thought that even you would know the 1879 Constitution you linked was discarded on January 1, 1975 after Edwin Edwards was able to arrange a Constitutional convention the Spring of 1974 and convince voters to accept the new constitution by a statewide vote in April, 1974.


You skipped one in the 1920s.

Sure thing Also LINK or even (2020 Census data)


The state as a whole is declining not specific to just JP or EBR or Nola

Also the argument is about the bigger economic draw not population. New Orleans is one of the few draws that this state has. Let me know when EBR or JP are bigger economic draws

Like data centers?


Yea, I’m glad we missed out on the auto plants. Who needs 15,000 auto plants jobs and 90,000 support jobs when a data center will add 1000 jobs by 2036.

Data centers are not nearly enough but still a small win…..
We need tax incentives and go after …
Healthcare
Pharmaceutical
Banking
Industrial
Logistics

Anything.

Am I wrong or did I just read that in terms of tax revenue the 3 biggest contributors to the state coffers are Jefferson, Orleans, and then EBR.

I don’t live in New Orleans but I know tons of young people who do including all my kids and it’s a booming, fun, busy city for those 18-40 years old. It’s not a dump. It’s VERY active and anyone who is there on weekends can attest. I think people who don’t visit don’t really know what’s going on. And no, I don’t know anyone who goes to New Orleans East. That’s a whole other subject and is not what we consider part of New Orleans in conversation. And believe me when I say those locals don’t go to bourbon st which is 1/6000 of the city. It’s basically for dumb tourist and punks and thugs.

Yes. You are correct that at one point before many here were born, it was indeed constitutionally stipulated even though it hasn't been that way for over half a century now.

New Orleans, if run well, would be the mechanism that prevents the state from declining. Unfortunately, it is a disaster. And, it's a disaster because of people like you and Cubbies.

Except I've never called her fat. She made that up.

All the other stuff I posted actually happened.

I even felt sorry for her when her bike ("My only transportation! ") was stolen and she begged for that money so I sent her $50.

This is your argument proving that the separate Criminal and Civil Clerk of Court offices in Orleans Parish were first established in 1975?

thanks for proving me right again

Oh and your argument was the LA constitution that was replaced in 1921 still holds weight today

JP is JP, NOLA is NOLA.


Sure is.

But people live in JP due to the proximity to Nola. Don’t fool yourself.

The original boom in population was due to people looking to expand into suburbs for a variety of reasons. Like housing, available land, the introduction of cars to make commutes shorter so you can live further away.

Just like any suburban place, its success is directly related to what happens in its neighboring larger city. If Nola does better economically it’s better for those who live in JP too. And the reverse is true too, when Nola does poor JP definitely feels that.

JP wouldn’t exist as a stand alone place if it were say 100 miles away.

Nola is the draw

I guess I didn't understand your manatee reference then.

Either way, I'm a happily married mother of 3 and my youngest isn't even 2 years old yet. If strangers on the internet want to call me fat on a political message board, you have my blessing.
