That’s because Tennesseans don’t really know how to whine and bellyache. A large percentage of the population in the Baltimore-Washington-Northern Virginia corridor (with it HUGE number of federal employees and large population of government handout entitled/dependent individuals) have it down to a science. I should know, I live in the People’s Democratic Republic of Maryland and suffer hearing that whining all the time.
Memphis is majority black and can whine with the best of them. They are just ignored on these kind of issues, while New York, Chicago and Washington get the press for minor issues.
