Man this sort of crap is way too common. When I sold my house in Santa Clara county, to move back to Oregon, the county decided they had not charged me enough property tax over the prior 4 years. So they just put a lien on my name for the $9000 they wanted, no judge no process and totally not as the law is written. Nothing I could do, nowhere to turn just let it wear off the credit report which it did in about 8 years. Then I had to IRS send me a Tax refund while I was living in Canada. What's this? A tax refund from 3 years back? Wrong! So I did not cash the check just put it aside until I returned to the States. One week went by and I got another letter stating I owed them that money back plus interest on the money for about 3.5 years. You know, that is exactly the way the law is written too, you owe interest for the April 15 date of the year you owe the tax. It did not matter that I had not even cashed the damn check. Then the next tax filing they just kept my refund until this bogus shit was closed in there books
I deal with the government in the same way the average citizen deals with the government - I pay taxes, I go to the DMV, etc. My experience is that they are no less competent than any other large organization I deal with. I've certainly had more trouble with Comcast than with the IRS, for instance, despite the stakes being much much smaller. I'm not claiming my experience is typical - just one data point. barfo
Mine involved a face to face interview. WTF, I passed and Kushner failed? I doubt if anyone involved as part of a Trump clan could pass. Clowns have taken over the White House.
Have to agree with that. In fact, based on experience, both Comcast and Verizon have been difficult. And don't get me started on Aetna.
Large organizations, like Comcast and Verizon, are prone to chaos and disarray. People interested in their fiefdoms instead of making the best business decisions. Even larger organizations are even worse. The government dwarfs the top 25% of our companies. It spends in a year what it would cost to buy every share of Apple Computer stock 4+ times over. Apple being the largest company of all.
Yes, exactly my point. Yet large organizations exist. Why? Because there are tradeoffs. Large organizations are better at some things than small organizations, despite being worse at other things. Not sure why you are comparing stock price to spending - it would make more sense to compare Apples spending to the US spending. Still, yes. The federal government is a very large organization by any standard. barfo
Actually I haven't. No reason to go. I have been to DEQ for the testing, but I do my DMV business remotely. barfo
We didn't have such large organizations, except government, before the 1980s. You're not making a case for big government. Stock price is an indication of what Apple is worth, what it would cost to buy it lock/stock/barrel. For all Apple's 30 years of spending. So yeah, comparing what the government spends in a year to our largest corporation sure makes sense. Government dwarfs them all with one year's budget. How does it compare with 30 years of government spending, the time it took Apple to build itself from scratch? Government DWARFS them all, by a massive amount. The only people who like big government are those who want to serve it or work in it. I take it you're the former.
LOL I went to the DMV on a Tuesday at 10AM. There was one person working where the main line is. I waited in that line for about an hour and a half before getting to the front. She gave me a form to fill out and told me to get back in line. Meanwhile, there were about 300 chairs in the middle of the room, just past this bottleneck. People sitting in most of them. There were windows where you get called to go up and get your license or registration or whatever. There were 14 of those windows, one person working. Yeah, DMV rocks. I ended up walking out. If I had gotten an appointment, I'd have stood in a 2nd line next to the first and would have saved maybe 15 minutes of waiting in the first line. W00T!
DMV here has an information booth upon entry...all the forms are on the wall..they tell you which you need without waiting...you take a number...they call your name...sounds like your branch was on a skeleton crew....never been in a DMV with only one window open...bank ...yes..not DMV...I just went recently and it was no big deal....I always get there earlier than 10 am though..I try to get there as soon as they open....I was renewing my license and you can't do that online....photo..eye test..
That sir is quite a ramble! But honest, I think you see yourself dressed in virtue. But I fear it's just an old fashion Tutu, flowing a bit as you parade about.
I call BS on the drivers license renewal. Last time I did it. I had to go home and get my birth certificate, and DD214 Then take a vision test. It took a good chunk of two days.
Always tip if you want good service. I once got a cadillac I owned through DEQ with a box of Popeyes chicken.
honest question....why do you make everything about me?....can you talk about the subject at hand and not make everything personal? Fuck dressing in virtue whatever that means....a simple post about a trip to the DMV and you make it a character flaw....whew......you imagining me in a flowing Tutu parading about is actually creepy in a stalker kind of way.....check your lane...
