Thanks! CNBC conveniently lists the ten best states in America in which to live

headed for paradise

“Oklahoma imposes one of America’s strictest bans on abortion, even though studies, including one by the National Bureau of Economic Research last year, found abortion bans increase net migration outflows, particularly among single adults,” CNBC writes about the state ranked ninth. “The Sooner State ranked 40th for worker protections last year, according to Oxfam America, which said that the state’s $7.25 minimum wage covers only about 19% of the cost of living for a family of four, and noted that state law prohibits municipalities from setting their minimum wages any higher.”

“Workers lack other basic protections including mandatory paid sick leave and protections against sexual harassment,” CNBC writes of the eighth-ranked state that calls itself the Heart of Dixie. “Alabama is one of five states with no public accommodation law protecting non-disabled people against discrimination, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures.”

I have to show you the whole blurb for my home state of Georgia. The wokesters gave us a grade of F, so be proud, Georgians!

Georgia offers few protections for LGBTQ+ people, making it one of America’s least inclusive states. 

“Georgia still remains a state where there is no place for hate, and I can assure all Georgians of that today,” Republican Gov. Brian Kemp said in April, when he signed a bill aimed at protecting religious freedom. 

But critics feared the law could be used to permit other types of discrimination, especially because Georgia is another of the five states with no public accommodation law protecting non-disabled people. 

The Peach State offers minimal worker protections, particularly when it comes to the right to organize.

Side note: If you’re wanting to move from a blue state to the Peach State, don’t. We full.

Who’s number one in the woke CNBC’s ideological penalty box? The Volunteer State. Tennessee dares to offer counterprogramming to Pride Month (GASP)!

Tennessee Republicans, led by Gov. Bill Lee, make no apologies for a rash of state laws targeting the LGBTQ+ community, including a so-called “bathroom law” requiring transgender people to use the facilities designated for their sex at birth. The state also explicitly bars localities from adopting their own antidiscrimination ordinances. To underscore the point, Lee signed a resolution earlier this year designating June “Nuclear Family Month.” 

“The nuclear family, consisting of one husband, one wife, and any biological, adopted, or fostered children, is God’s design for familial structure and has been the bedrock of society since the creation of the world,” the resolution states. 

Its sponsors deliberately timed the observance to coincide with the month when Tennessee’s more than 300,000 LGBTQ+ people celebrate Pride.

How dare they?

These are the same states where Europeans traveling for the World Cup experienced welcoming people, kind manners, irresistible food, and vibrant local culture. These are states whose economies are thriving, whose populations are enjoying their lives, and where people are free to practice their faith and lead their families.
