His parents told him not to get vaccinated. So he learned about a Philadelphia rule that allowed him to get the shots without permission. His family found out when they got covid and he didn’t. @MorningEdition @NPR

Data show that TN parents resoundingly support school meals at no cost to families. State lawmakers have the opportunity to make this a reality.

More than 1,300 guns were stolen out of cars in Nashville last year. That’s twice as many as just five years ago, and more than any year on record. So how did we get here? https://t.co/Kn5ze37aDM

Jason was charged $6,500 for 6 stitches. Then his wife DeeAnn fell deliriously ill. Fearing another massive bill from the ER, she delayed treatment.

Later, at another hospital, she learned she had a possibly fatal infection: Rocky Mountain spotted fever.

📈 housing cost has far outpaced wage growth around here, costing lives. Seeing Nashville on the top of lists for most affordable cities is cringe worthy 😬. Comparatively affordable, maybe, but only if you're in a certain income bracket.

So glad this is being piloted here!! Govt programs don't help if you need a personal assistant to keep up with the requirements. Unconditional cash flow is where it's at 🔥🔥
