Nebraska RANT: As an Ohioan with Nebraska roots, I’ve been bamboozled

56 Upvotes

Maybe not bamboozled but fucks sake. All my family lives in Nebraska, but I live in central Ohio. When gas went up in Ohio, I almost shed a tear. At one point in April/May it peaked at $4.99/gal but since it has been sitting between $3.20-$3.79 for regular unleaded (10% ethanol)
After the initial increase, people blamed the stark increase on it being a blue city in a red state. -which could be true because it seems like it is cheaper everywhere else by close to 20¢. After complaining to my mom about the prices she told me “well that’s why you should just move to Nebraska” blah blah blah

But that comment lead me to believe the gas situation was somehow better here. Boy was I wrong. On my way to the panhandle using Highway 20 it just got increasingly more expensive. Yeah I get that you’re in the middle of nowhere and stations are far and few but even in the sticks of Ohio gas is usually cheaper than Columbus - maybe comparable to cbus for the most secluded.

Upon entry of the state, I noticed that the super unleaded prices here are more expensive than regular at home. Like at one point I saw a station for $4.59/gal for regular and $3.99 for super and I was beginning to kick myself for not filling up in O’Neill thinking that might be what it is from there on lol.

When I got to my destination my grandma had asked how much gas was where I filled up and I told her it was $3.89 for super unleaded and how that was insane and she told me the price wasn’t bad ?! She asked how much it was in Columbus right now and I pulled up my app and showed her it was $3.42 FOR REGULAR UNLEADED. The cennex in her town is $4.10 for super.

like why is it soooo much more expensive here than it is there for worse quality?? I know we have more refineries near us than most of Nebraska but like two years ago, prices were pretty comparable between the two with Nebraska maybe costing 10¢ more per gallon. But for Nebraska to be more expensive than Illinois ??

I just don’t get how even along I-80 gas is $3.89 for super unleaded. The thought of paying that much for lesser like puts me in a spiral. And don’t even get me started on the cost of groceries here vs Ohio.

I thought our politicians hated Ohioans but damn at least our gas is cheaper and we don’t have to pay tax on groceries or take out.

TLDR; Nebraska is fucking you on gas prices.

Politics Can someone explain the Cindy Burbank thing to me like I'm 5?

28 Upvotes

I'm a Nebraskan living in Minnesota (or proud Minnesotan who still calls Nebraska my longtime home and keeps up with what's going on).

How did her deciding to run and then not run help Dan Osborn? What was it about her campaign or lack thereof that made the Secretary of State Evnen suspect she wasn't going to stay in and drop out? Was she the candidate during primaries that everyone called a "Secret Republican running as a Democrat" or whatever? Also, how does Nebraska's Democratic Party feel? Are they bolstering Osborn or are they pissed?

(I'm pretty left, but from everything I've seen Osborn is the real deal and I'd vote for him if I could)

Hastings My child’s First trip to Nebraska!

10 Upvotes

I was born in Nebraska, and raised for a few short years in my early childhood before moving, I have a few favorite stops that my daughter will be making to have some of my own nostalgia, but what is your favorite childhood nostalgia spot?
Somewhere mom and dad took you? A school trip to a museum you thought you’d hate?
I’m looking for her to experience my home the best way a kid can, as a local!

We will be in and around the Hastings area, and traveling pretty frequently! We have family all around the state we will be visiting, so destination locations are great too!

Nebraska Mahoney cabins

5 Upvotes

What does the null sign (circle with line across it) mean besides not available?

Some cabins, such as the governors row will show not available to rent. Then the next day when the cabin would be available to rent for the next year, it will show the cabin is reserved.

Today, cabin 40 is available for 1 day (capital A) and the rest of the following days are not available.

Are some people able to reserve the cabins more than a year ahead?
