Since
I'm at it, I can discuss some more about the sordid city of
Louisville and the sordid culture as well as city government that
exists in that place. A city that it takes over a decade and they
still can't synchronize their traffic lights even though Louisville
Metro took over the duties from the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet
in 2009. A city that has problems maintaining its roadways by
properly paving them and fixing potholes and rough patches even
though it took over the duties again on state numbered roads in
Louisville Metro back in 2009.
A city that has 4.2 billion dollars in debt ran up by the Louisville Metro Sewer District over the past couple of decades that it has to constantly raise rates on its customers while it mismanages money and awards contracts to people in less than favorable terms for the taxpayers, ratepayers and the city at large. Even funnier is that Loserville Metro Sewer District hasn't even the money to fix the existing infrastructure for flood control without asking the federal government or issuing more debt to keep the city from flooding. In order to get the existing flood control system into decent shape, it was stated 2018 and 2019 that it would take another huge loan in order to try to fix all of the pumping stations and deficiencies in the current system. Guess you better get your rubber duckies ready to float down the river?
In fact, the system is so dire that if you read the Comprehensive Annual Financial Reports for Loserville MSD and Louisville Metro you would find that the city is running short in a lot of areas including city finances because of the malfeasance and criminality of Louisville Metro Government over the years including all of the lawsuits that the LMPD had to settle over the years because of police brutality, police repression and criminality in their ranks. Not to mention various lawsuits that the city of Louisville had to settle with their own employees because of various violations of employment law, firefighter overtime pay, sexual discrimination and nepotistic hiring practices. Obviously the people of Louisville don't pay much attention or have the attention span of 8 seconds which is why there are so many automobile accidents in Louisville, Kentucky on a daily basis.
Let's add in the fact that Louisvlle has probably the worst drivers I have ever seen and I've been to over 40 states now. People that aren't smart enough to merge on the interstate on ramps much less learn proper signaling and lane changes. Is that why the cars in Louisville look like they've been playing expressway pinball? Add in the fact that Louisville car insurance is just about higher than anywhere else around the Midwest and Upper South. In fact, my premiums dropped several hundred bucks in one year when I left Louisville which was a smart move on my part. Even better is watching Louisville drivers try to use turn signals and understand how traffic signals work along with proper lane changing. I'm surprised that most of the provincials and Bubbas don't live in Mayberry.
Even more funny is how the provincials and hicks of Louisville don't really know much about their community other than the little area in which they live like say Bon Air or the Highland or Middletown. They can't be bothered with getting out of their little element of an area and actually seeing how other people live and educate their kids and interact with the rest of society. It's like they're still living in some hollow in Appalachia and scared to go to the other side of the mountain to see what is over there.
Maybe that explains why Louisville residents don't travel much and especially Kentuckians at large don't travel much. Otherwise, they would see what a backwards and largely wretched place in which they live and then accordingly start educating themselves by reading books, watching documentaries and learning these stubborn things called facts. Then again, its going to be hard when a state ranks 47th in educational attainment and usually between 43rd and 45th in college quality. Not to mention that 40 percent of the Kentucky population has low literacy levels that are an impediment to further educational progress. In other words, Kentuckians are pretty dumb overall. While I am at it, I might also mention that Kentucky generally over the past 30 years since KERA has ranked between 42nd to 46th in overall K to 12 education and finally got this last year to 38th which is still 15 to 20 places below most of its neighbors.
The best part though regarding education in Louisville is saved for the last though. The Louisville Jefferson County Public Schools ranked last year as 138th out of 159 Kentucky school systems and its the 12th straight year that its been in the bottom 25 percent of all Kentucky schools let's see that would be the bottom 15 percent in the case of the JCPS currently in 2019-2020. That's some heavy duty failure there.
