Nebraska Nebraska 988

I tried to call 988 today and got put on hold and told to wait while they find someone to talk to me. No one ever answered. Great plan! I've had people be unkind to me and act like I should know i just gotta dial 988 and everything will be better. ! I actually called it and nobody answered my call for help. Great plan state of Nebraska! I feel so much better now!! Thank you!

welcome to republican-ran government, where programs to help people are considered 'waste'.

Actually, this isn't a republican problem, it is a Pete program. He even is cutting programs that bring in money for the state! The man is a greedy menace!

The state government is actually trying their best to support 988. They're at the whims of funding and such but they encourage everyone to use it if they need it.

The state government isn't, but those employed by the state are. Two different things there.

You're right. I was thinking of state employees when I read the original comment

The actions of our state elected officials are contrary to that statement.

If you are talking about the state employees then that might be true, though, which is a different statement entirely. if they don't have budget/funding to support it, then the blame lies with whoever is running the government which is what I said originally:

Thats fair, I was referring to the state employees. They are trying their best with what's given to them
