    Louisiana doesn’t benefit from the fucking oil industry bribing politicians, raising sea levels, industrializing coastal areas, and giving people cancer. The companies aren’t even based here. We’re just cursed to be next to Texas.

    And Texans also don’t benefit from being a corrupt petrostate. The natural resource curse is real.

      The rest of the US doesn’t benefit from being next to Texas, but we have to draw a line somewhere.
