The DMV has to be about the most uninviting place I ever have to visit. With all the signs everywhere telling you the penalties for just about anything, it makes you wonder if you’ll go to prison for coughing.

Another aspect of the mentality that has no qualms about shutting down schools and putting parents and students lives On Hold for indefinite durations. Perhaps not that different from jury duty: “set aside all of your doings and [show up at the court house].” Elsewhere along the spectrum are (were) the military draft and the covering of parked cars in snow emergencies.

I have been to a DMV in a foreign country (an ally of the U.S.). Nice people, modern, fast and efficient. We were in and out with a new drivers license within 20 minutes. And this was in the country’s most populated city.

The public servants here, however, are a special breed in their own class. That goes for both the people working for the government and the politicians that work for them.

A statewide concern: Illinois’ population decline outpaces neighboring states – Wirepoints on ABC20 Champaign

“We are not in good shape” Wirepoints’ Ted Dabrowski told ABC 20 Champaign during a segment on Illinois’ latest population losses. Illinois was one of just three states to shrink in the 2010-2020 period and has lost another 300,000 people since then. Ted says things need to change. “It’s too expensive to live here, there aren’t enough good jobs and nobody trusts the government anymore. There’s just other places to go where you can be more satisfied.”
