I'm willing to bet NYC has better DMVs than most places. This is not a typical experience. > Anyway, I am sick of t shirt libertarians stereotyping all governm

  In-The-Sticks experience with the DMV shows the same experience, down to the signs asking you to speak to a supervisor. This tells me that perhaps your experience with DMVs is out of date. I do remember when the DMV was hours of waiting in uncomfortable plastic chairs, but that's no longer the case.

    It's possible. Last I went was a few years ago in California and it was really terrible (many hour wait, not clean...). Good to hear that's not the case everywhere though.

  Does not matter. My point was not that all DMV or government is great. My point was some is good some is bad. The OP seemed (to me anyway) to be saying it's almost always bad, and that stereotype ("lol government is sooolo inefficient eberyone knows it lol") is in fact a common one. It was worth showing its falsehood, but that doesn't mean the polar opposite is true either. I've also had good and bad govt agency experiences in other states. I seem to remember the Arkansas "DMV" (they don't even have a real DMV exactly, its duties are or were back then split among a few other agencies) being simple and not particularly frustrating to deal with. Or does that not count either cause Arkansas is such a similar state to new York? /s
