Scalpers amassed appointments using bots and fake accounts to exploit an online system. The Tax Collector’s Office spotted 200 suspicious appointments in the first three weeks after opening a new downtown Miami location for driver’s license services, the Miami Herald reports. The agency has its sights set on individuals who are part of local driving schools as suspects in strangling the DMV’s system. Miami-Dade County Tax Collector Dariel Fernandez said in a release:

    It’s not “America.” It’s Florida. Plenty of states have their shit together. Show us more about how you know nothing of the US except for what you read on Lemmy.

      Lack of federal quality and safety standards is America, and the federal government is allowing all kinds of shit in Florida, Texas, Alabama and many other states.
      Or are you really telling me problems with DMV is limited to Florida?

        Reading comprehension and understanding the US government is clearly not something you excel at.

        I said “Plenty of states have their shit together,” and you assumed that was 49/50.

        Also, the whole point is allowing states to manage their own infrastructure. This certainly comes with a lot of bad management, but if you think having something on a federal level means it’s more efficient, honey you need to look harder at our federal programs.

        I’m pretty happy with my state. That type of thing (the article) doesn’t happen here.

        Also, you do list the trashiest states. Trashy things happen there. 🤷‍♂️ go to a blue state.

        Perhaps you can tell me what country you’re from and I can look up some ways your infrastructure is crap?

          No it’s not, that’s just republican rhetoric they violate the instant they have government power.

          Denmark, and good luck with that. 🤣

            Denmark is significantly smaller than the US, and it would make sense to have everything on a federal level. In fact Denmark is about the size of many US states. It’s smaller than West Virginia:

            The republicans do have a lot of rhetoric and hypocrisy. But since things aren’t one system for everything, it prevents a single insane president from being able to fuck everything up at once. (Although it does seem that everyone is getting fucked these days)

            For example, Abortion. If it was totally federal (which it was for a while) then Trump could have banned it outright. Now, it goes back to the states and the people who choose to live in shit states get shit for dinner.

            As a person who is married to someone of the same sex, I’m pretty glad that my state had same sex marriage before it was recognized nationally. We will see how long it takes for that to be yanked away.

            Believe me, I’m no fan of this country, but if you’re going to laugh and crack jokes at least know what you’re talking about.
