Nice to do something that helps the child for once instead of just the fetus
Well, that's something.
Now do free pregnancy care and baby food and then work your way up to child labor laws and free lunches then maybe do free college when you are not sure what to do next.
Tn allows for free college already. It's an associates degree but it's free if you're a resident.
I'm fixing to use this program to go to college in the fall. Pretty psyched.
What’s being fixed?
Well since I'm going from professional caregiver into a medical degree, my bedside manner will continue to involve my folksy southern style of speech.
So I'm fixin to go to school. Means "going to."
Sounds on-brand to me. it not like you'd expect them to double down on sex education or provide contraceptives.
They're telling you where their priorities are. Now Go Forth and Multiply.
It's really off brand for a red state though. Usually they tell post-birth humans to fuck off.
Its an election year
Fuck, only now I realized that this is the replacement theory.
They always confess during accusations, and it never clicked until now.
This is what they were talking about, no mistake.
Fuck.
I know some of the folk who run TennCare. You aren't wrong.
The cynicism here is hilarious. This is literal good news but no, it's actually just further proof how shitty the republicans are.
They are responsible for so many shitty laws and actions that when they do something objectively good, there's no escaping the feeling that there's some ulterior motives ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Some investors and senators are in on it guaranteed. Blackburn comes to mind.
How is this not the dirty socialism they’re always going off about?
It only becomes dirty socialism after the diapers are used.
Yeah from their perspective their kids are shitting on socialism lol
I was nearly born in Tennessee and my parents have some fucking horror stories from when they lived there. I'm shocked that out of all the states to start doing this it's fucking Tennessee.
Will Mar-a-Lago relocate?
Sadly, this is only for children, not seniors
