Interesting read. This may be unfair to Louisiana based on this case, but I've heard the USA described as a federation of a bunch of states and some 3rd world countries.

New Orleans native here. It's not unfair. We're consistently one of the worst states in the nation in so many measures. Corruption is rampant.

Well, when tourism is in decline, all those clowns and fake psychics in Jackson Square still need to eat.

I think you can find something bad in every state, even "rich" ones.

Edit: Who the hell would downvote this?

It’s a Republic of states that are Democratic. Some states have cities with terrible poverty but never the case where the whole state can be categorized as such.
