    Welp…I was gonna visit NOLA one more time before moving from Texas to Oregon this summer and leaving the Deep South once and for all. But, as a public school teacher, I have to say this is completely and utterly monkeyfucked, and Louisiana isn’t getting a thin-ass dime from me.

      Samesies. I was going to stop in NOLA one last time and enjoy myself there while moving from Texas to Rhode Island this summer and leaving the Deep South once and for all.

      Only I’m not a teacher. Good luck with your move! And working in a much better public education system. What Abbott has been doing to our schools is insane.

        You’ll find we are much more tolerant up here. We accept everybody. We hate them but we accept them. Like an asshole best-friend.

        I spend money in New Orleans, sales tax is collected, which is appropriated in Baton Rouge. That will not be happening.
