  Alabama is bad but Louisiana is an absolute shithole state with crooks in the gov. Full of poverty when those should be very rich people. Too bad they didn’t make the oil companies pay taxes for all that oil they drill or spill in the gulf every day.

  Man, you are letting Mississippi off the hook here. I used to live in Louisiana but spent a lot of time working in Mississippi and I could not say which state is worse. The only good things about either one are the winter weather and the crawfish.

    As a Mississippi refugee, Mississippi is worse. We don’t even have a fun city like New Orleans. I do miss the food though. Crawfish in the PNW are so tiny.
