I'm old enough to remember when corruption was bad, not just another news story with no consequences.

Analysis Summary
A Louisiana state senator helped secure Meta's $10-27 billion Hyperion data center project in Richland Parish, then sold land adjacent to the site โ a transaction Floodlight flags as a potential conflict of interest. The underlying facts are confirmed: Meta is building its largest data center in rural Louisiana, and Morris was instrumental in securing the deal. What's missing from the post: whether Morris disclosed the land sale, whether he profited materially, whether state ethics law was violated, or what regulatory review actually occurred โ the legal substance that determines if this was corruption or just favorable timing.
