I don’t understand how no matter how many factories they build there, no matter how many great paying jobs exist there, the Golden Triangle still looks completely run down, poverty ridden, and depressing as all get out.

That's because you only build plants in shite holes, because plants make an area shitty.

Jefferson County (Beaumont is the County seat) is VERY Democrat heavy in elected officials, and has a very large trial lawyer per population ratio.

And land is cheaper in shitty areas.
I doubt anyone will ever build a factory in Mountain Brook, AL.

There’s a great youtube video called “Why Louisiana stays poor” by Together Louisiana. It explains a lot

That video is absolute hogwash. Louisiana would be a poorer Mississippi without the petrochemical industry

Please explain. Why does it work in one state, and not the other?
Posted on 11/16/22 at 4:24 pm to Dire Wolf
Louisiana’s poverty ridden are far too uppity to allow these kinds of projects anymore. Not team players.
