Tackling the real problems of the day. Way to go, Nebraska. Time to forget you exist again.

Nebraska isn’t all bad. I-80 speed limit is mostly 80mph, so at least you can pass by quickly.

honestly I like the idea of minimum wage being limited to teenagers. One of the issues with minimum wage is it used to be a wage you only made when in high school and college on campus (because of the competition for jobs). Now people are raising families on it (or trying to). Thing is they should peg he current minimum to it and raise the adult minimum wage.
