Why does Louisiana suck?

Posted by Texas Tea 123 on 10/6/26 at 9:33 am
No it doesn’t actually suck, quite the contrary in my opinion, but why does it suck according to basically all formal metrics?

Honestly is it intentional by the 0.1% political / old money / uber-wealthy class?
Quality post there CocomoLSU. Just watch it or don't. Do you ask others if you need to go to the bathroom too?
Can't wait for people to start bitching about power prices and making that the new political tool rather than gas prices

If living in the suburbs, for all intents and purposes, they are the exact same.

Lower humidity in Dallas

Houston is closer to water and South LA
Sucks to be in the bottom tier of general SEC academics. Were never in the top tier and were never going to be, but being a bottom feeder stinks

Tier 1: Vandy / Texas / Florida / Texas A&M / Georgia
Tier 2: Mizzou, Auburn, Tenn, Oklahoma, S Carolina (??)
Tier 3: Kentucky, Alabama, Ole Mis, LSU, MSU

No one has savings, that's the invisible part
I have never seen a city down so bad after that incredibly kind and gentle, yet brutal, take down
In basin Permian gas has been commanding ~$1.50-$2.00 for the past few months, a ~$1.75 discount to Henry Hub; the constraints are resolved
Great for couples when one is flying alone w/ multiple kids under the age of four. Would have loved to go all the way to the gate with them. Hope that's what it is for, along with disability assitance, etc.

There is some sort of underlying cultural thing with India I can't figure out

-over populated
-generally very poor
-known for scamming / doing whatever it takes to make a dollar

Does this just lead to zero trust and respect for anyone else or the place you live?

Feels like the single most important factor is that GDP per capital is like $2,000 yet it is an absolutely gigantic economy in total. Fertility has fallen off, more in line with western nations, perhaps it sorts itself out over the next 50 years -- probably not, who's going to pick up the trash?!
We'll continue to see run away inflation and the weakening of the dollar

We'll eventually turn out like Europe and other "democratic socialist" countries, we're just +/- 50 years behind

Rigid class system, the haves and have nots

Quite a nice place to live if you're part of the club, though gets more and more superficial / artificial / soulless

The rich get richer

The poor get poorer

The middle can't rise

Just like 10 years ago when he told us full self driving was coming next year. Then he did that every year. And now... we're still waiting.
Why not just move to Texas and not pay income taxes and not pay for schooling that is the same level as the free ones?
True, not sure how many you'd come across at LSU :lol:
Honestly I've never really met anyone out of Jesuit, Catholic or Episcopal that was more impressive than kids from large Texas public high schools in good districts
What are the top 10 private high schools in Louisiana?

This company is never going to make money lol
Raising $0.6B "at $10B valuation" doesn't make your company worth $10B lol

Love the VC mental gymnastics
