Most of the people complaining about this are the same people complaining about their kids moving to Houston and Dallas for work.
They can't connect dots so it's better to just ignore their opinions about anything.
I'm not a Landry fan by any means but I can definitely tolerate him and vote for him in reelection if he continues his streak. During his first couple of years, I mostly just chalked him up to being one of those RINO socially conservative boomers from Louisiana but he's been on a legendary run the last year or so.

People who own land in Indian Bayou, LA (the unincorporated community in Vermillion Parish not the WMA). Its west of Maurice near the border with Acadia Parish.
It's close enough to Lafayette and the Starbase site to attract a lot of new residential development. It also has a good school district.

In the late 2000's, you had to have both a 3.0+ GPA and over a 22 on your ACT (can't quite remember but it near that number). A lot of the kids who came in with those minimum scores ended up dropping out. Not all, but a lot, moreso than the kids who came in with a 3.5 and a 27+ ACT.

Running the oil and gas companies out of NewO.
It was more so the Permian and the more western GOA fields that made that happen. But also alot of oil executives just didn't like business culture of New Orleans. I'll probably get downvoted for this but having to send your kids to private school and people constantly asking you what high school you went to isn't a normal thing in the rest of the country.
My dad's boss (who was from Texas) moved their Gulf operations to Lafayette as soon as he could and a few decades later they consolidated everything to Houston.

Maybe not the biggest but Hawker Beechcraft was supposed to move their factory and headquarters to the Baton Rouge airport from Wichita in the early 2010's. It was going to be on the same scale as Gulfstream in Savannah and employ like 3000 people.
They ended up staying in Wichita but had to do restructuring to stay in business.

I mean it is. I was debating whether they were ethical or not. Just stating it was most likely national police that took this guy out. This isn't rocket science. Does the CIA hunt down mobsters in America? No, neither does Mossad. That's the national police's job. He was probably ex IDF too whichbis why it was so clean so it's not that hard to believe.
You guys just say stuff without doing any research and then get offended when people correct yall.

I sweat a lot less and can breathe a little better when it is less humid. I mean it’s still hot but it’s somewhat easier.

I don't see the problem? It's okay for men to have preferences now.
Women break up with men all the time if lose their jobs, gain too much weight, or they lose the "spark." Men can do the same thing.
Im starting to think a lot of this animosity in dating these days is just men doing the same things that women have been doing to men for decades because they see them as equals now. They're losing a lot of the privileges they had and aren't liking it.

Half of this board does. It's kind of mandatory if you want a decent career these days but you still want to be within driving distance of South Louisiana.
