Got Plates?

Our local DMV was routinely a 2 hour wait BEFORE. c19...

I pull a number - go home, take an hour nap - then go back... That's usually about right...

I last renewed my license in person six years ago. Took about 20 minutes.

State jobs like those at the DMV are notorious for being staffed with people who aren't all that bright and certainly not motivated.  In the past, a state job meant low pay but lots of paid holidays and good insurance and retirement benefits. It's almost impossible to get fired from a state gig.  And those jobs also don't tend to go away. Moving online would mean they need fewer people.

My brother is a prison guard in the Midwest.  He makes okay money now but has nearly 30 years at it.  His wife makes the big bucks and my brother stays where he is for the insurance and state retirement package.
