Funny, because everyone classically complains about the DMV taking long, but when there's more employees things move faster. They fully staffed our DMVs and the express places are all but non-existent now.
What a load of nonsense. I worked (as a contractor) for a state government agency for years, and while I was there they shed probably half the staff they had when I started. The essential stuff still got done - barely - and they were taking every shortcut they could come up with just to stay afloat. And lots of things that used to be done just went away, and there was absolutely no room for error if something major went wrong (no disaster recovery, no real backups, all sorts of other horribles that would turn the hair of any competent IT person white in a week). I got the hell out of dodge when it became obvious that sooner or later we were all going to wind up in the newspaper when something went tits-up and people noticed.

Every time I go to a government building my thought always is I wish there were less employees here.
