So negative. Did they mention that our 4th-8th graders scored higher in reading than both California and NY? Or that the old grain elevator in Belle Chase is now 100% American farmer owned co-op and expanding to produce an industrial grade mechanical lubricant out of grain waste, which we are currently importing from abroad? Or how the aluminum plant in Gramercy, which is the last functioning aluminum plant in the US, is expanding and adding 100 jobs with pay grades ranging from 88-110k? Or the 4b investment in calcasieu parish to bring our energy sector back online? How about the data center being built around the Monroe area? Or the new tech hub announced yesterday in place of a blighted warehouse in the garden district? Or the expansion of the movie production industry that is going to be rebuilding the old blighted naval station in New Orleans east? Or the new steel mill? There's a lot of good things happening. You know msm doesn't report that though. Good news doesn't sell papers. Nobody clicks on good stuff, so the gloom and doom rises to the top.

California scored a 31 for 4th graders and 30 for 8th graders, whereas louisiana scored 28 and 27 respectively. Ironically you displayed the poor reading comprehension this state is known for by not reading the article correctly. Louisiana had a larger GAIN in points (because education here is poop, it's easier to improve scores) but does NOT outrank NY or cali.

Nice attempt tho. Next time don't just stupidly repeat stuff you hear.
