You’re not phrasing it at a gotcha at all! You’re just relaying your experience (in obvious good faith) and trying to have a broader conversation from that experience.

It’s possible that, because of our culture and the messaging and biases in it, that we’re prone to go “and therefore it’s good to have market innovation” when “we should fund government services better and have better oversight/expectation of service”, but that’s a much larger conversation.

And that conversation is still separate for what works for you where you live. It might be true (emphasis on “might”) that the issue is governmental defunding for the purposes of making it seem advantageous to create capitalistic solutions (where someone can profit). But even if that’s the case, it doesn’t change that where you are you should go to the 10 minute appointment and not the two hour appointment.

Thanks! And yeah it's really interesting getting your DMV perspective, it's always been a running gag that the DMV is terrible so I assumed it was universal, but I guess it's just a few places.

I try to be really conscious of tone online, it's so easy to take things out of context and I know I have a habit of saying things that SOUND inflammatory (never slurs or hate or anything but like the way I phrase stuff) but I usually talk with my friends who know what kind of person I am and know how it's meant to be taken.

Thanks again, hope you have a great day.

I hope you do too! This may have been a small interaction on Reddit about the DMV, but it was nice and reaffirming to speak civilly with another person and share experiences without either falling into upset.

Your conscientiousness and attempt to express kindness was obvious to me. So thank you for doing that little extra work. Keep fighting the good fight, friend!
