Every time I hear someone complain about the DMV, USPS, etc, I assume they’re being difficult to the workers. Every experience I’ve had with these kind of government services, I read up ahead on what I need, organize my shit, and show up prepared with a smile.
When I do that you see a wave of relief over the worker and they return the smile and respect. You can basically extrapolate the verbal abuse they deal with all day long.
With my secret method(being nice and respectful), every USPS worker I’ve interacted with has either been very friendly, or neutral but relieved.
Leave our brave troops alone goddamnit, be nice to them.

I think a lot of middle-aged-and-older edgelords had so much media exposure to “dae le post office” and “dae le DMV” (especially the “going postal” brainworms that infested the late 90s) that they substituted the reality of using such services for the fantasy they brought in, expect it to happen, and are abrasive assholes to those workers just to make that fantasy feel more real.
You’re probably in an area with a functional DMV. I concede that some states run their DMV pretty well, but California certainly isn’t one of them.
The conversation is about the meat industry, not about the DMV.
Once again, exhaustively, since you brought it up here, what are you proposing for the California DMV? More privatization? If you say “government bad” and just sit there congratulating yourself, you’ve said nothing useful at all and are still supporting the status quo by default.
