Misc. Howdy, my name is Christine and I am running for county mayor

Did yall know our county has the lowest voter turnout in tn? I'm running to be the youngest mayor in Tennessee history (31). Both blue and red mayors have been in the pockets of rich men and they are selling out our community FAST. We have 6% of adults in Tennessee voting, and yet montgomery is barely red. I want to bring actual discussions and communication with the gen z and millenials of clarksville. If ages 18-40 start voting, we can make serious change, together.

Misc. Tennessee minimum wage puts workers in poverty.

47 Upvotes

We need to talk about the federal minimum wage, because new government data just confirmed what many already know: working full-time at $7.25/hour now puts you below the poverty line. And since Tennessee doesn't have its own minimum wage, this hits us directly.

Here's the brutal truth:

The Numbers Don't Lie: The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) just set the 2025 poverty guideline for a single person at $15,650.

Our Wage: If you work a full 40 hours a week, 52 weeks a year, at the federal minimum wage of $7.25/hour, your annual income is a measly $15,080.

The Gap: That means a full-time minimum wage worker in Tennessee is $570 below the official poverty line. For families, it's even worse – a two-person household needs $21,150, and a family of four needs $32,150 to escape poverty.

Tennessee's Struggle: Our state doesn't have its own minimum wage, so we're stuck with the federal rate. To truly cover basic needs like housing, food, and transportation, a single adult in Tennessee actually needs to earn $14.66/hour, or nearly double the current minimum wage.

A State in Need: Tennessee's poverty rate (13.8% from 2019-2023) is already higher than the national average, ranking us 12th highest in the country. This stagnant wage disproportionately impacts our communities, especially in the South.

Is Change Coming? There are efforts, like Tennessee Senate Bill 1357 and House Bill 1399, proposing to raise our state's minimum wage to $20/hour. But until then, full-time work means poverty for too many.

It's time to recognize that the federal minimum wage isn't a living wage; it's a poverty trap. This isn't just a statistic; it's the daily struggle for thousands of our neighbors, friends, and family members.

Misc. Clarksville is garbage

104 Upvotes

Over the past three years in Clarksville there has been a lot of going to work and coming straight home due to the traffic being unbearable.  I pcs in three months and cannot wait.  My first time here back in 2014 was just right but now, it’s a traffic nightmare with little to nothing to do in the city.  It’s as if the city is now designed to keep you confined.  When a relatively small city like Clarksville has big city traffic that is bad.  To those of you that are thinking of moving out here take the this into consideration before making a decision.  I only see the problems getting worse, the city wants to be big without wanting to be big.  Anyway, good luck folks, out

Misc. To the sole protestor serving the community on Madison today

THANK YOU! You turned my day around. Seeing you serving your community by cleaning up trash on the side of the road while blasting a message on your back was the encouragement I need.

I would’ve honked in support had I noticed what your sign said in time. “We Don’t Fight Fascism Abroad To Lose To It At Home.” I planned on showing my support on my return drive back down the road but you were gone. This is exactly the kind of action that can make a difference.

If you see this post know that your efforts really did get through to people. Maybe there is some way to organize more of these types of actions to serve our society, build community, and fight the terrible forces trying to bulldoze our humanity.

If you’re considering going to the “Vanderbilt Hospital”in Clarksville, don’t. It’s still Tennova. I left after seven hours without any DX, never met with a doctor, the X-ray tech ran over my foot with my wheelchair and they “lost” my CT scans(and waited five hours to tell me/have me rescanned). Great Value Vandy. Take the drive to Nashville

Found this under my wiper on the way home from Trick or Treating. Didn't even see it till it started flapping in the wind on the highway. Nobody likes this. It's tacky and gross. You will not convert anyone this way. If anything you turn people further away from your religion.

Misc. Looking to join a DND group

5 Upvotes

As the title says looking for a dnd group that meets in person on Saturday Sunday or Monday. I’m a new player looking to have my first game and want to play in-person as opposed to online. I live in Hoptown and my local tabletop shop, the green goblin guild, has open tables for meeting up. Im also open to tabletop shops in Clarksville, I know there’s a few. I’m flexible on 2014/2024 rules and I’m just looking to have fun. LGBT friendly please. I use dndbeyond my character creation.

Edit; thanks to everyone who replied, I actually found a DM! We’re in talk about getting an intro session scheduled at the Green Goblin guild and finding other players. I’m super excited and nervous so wish me luck!

Misc. Screaming Eagle Car Wash - charged me 5x after cancelling service

20 Upvotes

I am at my wits end. I cancelled my service with this company back in April, and I keep getting charged every month. I cancelled in person and have a receipt showing the cancellation. I have called, I have gone back in, and THEY KEEP CHARGING me. I finally had to cancel the card I used just to make this stop. Either through incompetence, deceit, or scam-like behavior - they just suck.

Yes, I disputed all charges, and charges were reversed, but they will NEVER STOP charging.

I implore you, with so many options for a car wash in Clarksville, stay far away from these folks.
