What’s wrong with these people?
Why are so many people moving to Tennessee when it is the worst state to live in?
We’ll have to admit we got a good chuckle several days ago when CNBC ranked the Volunteer State at the very bottom of its list for quality of life. Did they mean the state that consistently is among the top states where people are migrating, where the tax burden is one of the country’s lowest, where the cost of living is relatively low, where the cost of doing business is low, where its roads are typically ranked as among the best in the country, where its election integrity is at or near the top of national rankings, the state named “Best in Show” at the recent Great American State Fair in Washington, D.C.? That Tennessee?
Not for nothing, but all 10 of the states at the bottom of the list are governed by Republicans. Boys and girls, can you say “biased”? We knew you could.
The ranking, per CNBC, is based on criteria like Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee’s recognition of June as “Nuclear Family Month” (when LGBTQ+ supporters would have it solely be “Pride Month”), state laws that restrict men in women’s bathrooms and limits on local anti-discrimination ordinances.
