    Feels like Louisiana is vying to be first hit in whatever apocalypse is next. Like, they got a bunch of endorphins from the Katrina attention, and they’re just chasing that high.

      Maybe the deep south is our poison reflex to vomit; the deep south knows it’s the sickest part of a dying patient and is trying to eject the venom.

    Better run states of the union should be allowed to bar Louisiana from Federal funding.

    They’re a welfare state.

    A 2024 report by The Pew Charitable Trusts notes that Louisiana reported the highest percentage of revenue from federal funds among all states, at 50.5%
