The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

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.

Hi neighbor!

Native RIer living in Mass now.

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.

‘course, supporting cool stuff in new orleans is about the best way to flip the bird at baton rouge.

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

Oh no! Louisiana's missing out on that sweet public school teacher tourism money! That'll cripple 'em.

Yes, because this was exactly my thought process. 🙄 Keep licking boot, mate.
