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:
Did you just now realize that most countries of the world are smaller than USA?
Yes we are smaller, and that of course makes more even services easier. But it doesn’t make it cheaper. To develop the software for the IT infrastructure is about 60 times more expensive for us than it would be for USA, if USA leveraged the power of scale.
So it is also a HUGE disadvantage regarding cost of deployment per capita.
Here we have same sex marriage in the whole country, free healthcare, free education, one of the best democracies in the world and highest level of freedom of speech too, longer life expectancy, higher HDI, way less poverty despite USA is richer! Half the CO2 per capita, higher quality of life (happiness) index. And it just goes on and on.
When I say USA is a shitty country, it really is compared to Denmark, and many European countries. Even the best states of USA don’t compare to Denmark on the quality of society.
And that’s despite USA is a richer country!
I feel like this is an attempt at an insult, but you failed.
Source?
You’re trying so hard to feel superior. Very American lol. It’s quite funny. I’m not disagreeing that many, many other countries are a better place to live than the US. I’m just saying you know absolutely nothing about the US, or how its government works. All you know about is the rhetoric you speak of, and what you hear in the news.
There is a reason that states maintain control over local issues.
Source: my brain.
USA has 60 times more people, and the IT development cost the same disregarding the size of population, hence the cost for USA is only a 60th per capita.
Bullshit, I’ve been to USA, and I follow lots of American news, so I probably know more than the average American.
That’s really all I needed to know.
This is allowed in USA!!

And then Americans wonder why we see your dystopian country as extremely stupid and shitty.
Do you even have a clue know stupid Americans sound when they boast about American exceptionalism and freedom which are both lies?
Wake up and accept the state of your country, that’s a requirement for fixing it.
There are lots of good Americans, but the country as a society is mentally ill.
No one here is boasting about American exceptionalism. And it’s pretty childish to just go grab random links and say “here, this is bad!” All US news is bad news lol. Everyone in the US knows the prison system is broken—in most states.
Again, I’m not here to defend the US. I’m just saying you know nothing about the US besides the crap you read online, and the more you talk the more you prove that.
That was not an accusation against you, but a general observation. And I must admit that it seems Americans have become a bit more modest lately.
No that’s not it, it’s not just bad, it’s part of a systemic problem that permeates USA.
That’s a weird statement, since I’ve already told you I’ve been to USA, and so has many of my friends. Danes are among the most traveling people in the world, so I think the one who displays ignorance here is you. Also not all you read on the net is crap, there are reliable sources, and I very much filter by that.
Taking a trip to “The USA” is like saying “I’ve been to Europe, and I have some friends in Europe so that mean I know everything about Europe”
Sounds pretty dumb right?
Where did you go in the US and how long were you here?
And, so you know, every friend I’ve ever had has known that the US had issues. If you’re not a heterosexual rich white male, you feel the problems. And Florida is among the worst States to live in—which is why I don’t live there! I’ll bet you wouldn’t want to live in Romania? If I compared Romania to Denmark you would laugh at me. And that’s why I’m laughing at you.
You claimed I only knew about USA from crap I read on the Internet. While in fact you obviously know nothing about what I know or my sources. Of course I know the states are different.
Yet another straw man, I was using a story from Florida to criticize USA which is perfectly legitimate.
If you use a story from Romania to criticize EU that could similarly be legitimate.
But it will be hard to find stories like the one I linked to you about any EU country, because EU countries are required to respect human rights. USA once did and it was considered important, but they don’t anymore. That ship finally sailed with George W Bush.
There are things that are shitty in every country, but there are no western democracies that are as overall shitty as USA. As I mentioned USA is a society that is mentally ill with sociopathy. The only countries that are comparable in that regard are all totalitarian.
Romania has problems from being under soviet communism for almost half a century, all the previous eastern block countries are still economically behind because of that.
USA has been the leader of the world for 80 years, and has been the world biggest economy, with about a third or fourth of global wealth, for just a 20th of the population.
But has failed in turning all that wealth and power and know how into much progress of their society.
And in that regard EU and many other democracies have done way better with way less. USA has wasted immense opportunities for improvements, falling behind everybody else in the traditional west or first world. Everything basically spiraled downwards after Jimmy Carter was replaced by Ronald Reagan. It’s crazy to see how bad things are now in USA compared to what the post WW2 originally seemed to promise.
Maybe because you are gay you are focusing way too much on your own problems in society, and not really registering how fundamental problems of USA are getting worse despite vastly increased wealth?
Anyhoo blaming me for ignorance and ignoring criticism will definitely not help.
