DaemonFC[m]I'm considering writing the Illinois Secretary of State.Sep 24 15:40
DaemonFC[m]Complaining of the waste to pay government workers at the DMV so licenses can expire every 4 years. In Arizona, licenses are valid from age 16-65 and then you need to renew and take an eye exam every several years, at a more frequent interval as you get older, just so they can make sure you're not losing your mind and blind. Sep 24 15:41
DaemonFC[m]That approach makes a lot more sense.Sep 24 15:42
DaemonFC[m]The government shouldn't be spending a ton of money on licenses. They should only be invalidated if you have an offense like a DUI or driving with no insurance. Sep 24 15:42
DaemonFC[m]Until you're so old that maybe it's time to check up on Grandpa now and then.Sep 24 15:43
MinceRbut if they don't do a ton of unnecessary makework and make you show up a lot more often than necessary, how are they going to employ a lot of useless people and demonstrate that they believe themselves to be your masters, not service providers?Sep 24 15:43
DaemonFC[m]No Illinois licenses are "expired" from March to at least next February and the fact that the state of Illinois can just do that shows you that they don't _need_ to expire that often.Sep 24 15:44
MinceRthis is the whole point of the state, after allSep 24 15:44
*_inky (~inky@141.136.77.184) has joined #techrightsSep 24 15:44
DaemonFC[m]Hell, I've got a better idea for them. They want money. Fine. I will pay twice as much for a license if they will extend them from 4 to 8 years.Sep 24 15:44
DaemonFC[m]Then they can save money and charge us the same amount per year for a valid license.Sep 24 15:44
DaemonFC[m]<MinceR "this is the whole point of the s"> Oh god, MinceR. Yeah. Indiana used to be this bad.Sep 24 15:45
MinceRi mean state in generalSep 24 15:45
DaemonFC[m]Part of the Republican budget cutting was taking a machete to the DMV.Sep 24 15:45
DaemonFC[m]They moved most renewals online and licenses are valid for 7 years.Sep 24 15:46
MinceRthey exist to control you, parasitize you, make you miserable and kill youSep 24 15:46
DaemonFC[m]You only have to come in one time to establish your "REAL ID" file, and then you can renew online as much as you want if nothing has changed, and you just get a new license.Sep 24 15:46
DaemonFC[m]If you move, you go in and pay $5 for a correction and you only need to bring residency documents.Sep 24 15:46
DaemonFC[m]MinceR: So, basically, once you have a REAL ID license, you can move to another state that uses REAL ID and they say your out of state license means you do not need to bring in your Social Security card or birth certificate.Sep 24 15:47
DaemonFC[m]Just address forms and the out of state ID.Sep 24 15:48
DaemonFC[m]This was a problem when I moved from Indiana because Illinois wasn't doing REAL ID yet. So I surrendered a REAL ID Indiana license and got one from Illinois that was non-compliant. Sep 24 15:48
DaemonFC[m]They were still handing them to you at the counter.Sep 24 15:48
DaemonFC[m]So when they started doing REAL ID 14 years after the federal law, my Illinois license didn't "identify" me to get an Illinois license.Sep 24 15:49
DaemonFC[m]The only thing the old license does do is proof of signature.Sep 24 15:50

DaemonFC[m]MinceR: My main fear of voting Yes on the constitutional amendment to allow a progressive tax is that the statute that kicks in sets rates at a certain level, but the Democrats have super majorities. Far be it from government to ever pull a bait and switch on us. :PSep 24 15:53
DaemonFC[m]So if that flat tax part of the constitution gets repealed, they could go into session the next day and change the tax law to say "Oh, surprise. Everyone's rates go up!".Sep 24 15:54
DaemonFC[m]I ran the numbers. Even if they keep their word on it, we'd only get about $1 a week in state income tax savings.Sep 24 15:54
DaemonFC[m]If we take the Democrats at their word, it would massively hike taxes on people making $260,000 and up.Sep 24 15:55

DaemonFC[m]That's the only way anyone in this state government gets hauled out in handcuffs.Sep 24 15:57
DaemonFC[m]Mike Madigan has been House Speaker for 40 years and has almost certainly done far worse than the ComEd electricity company bribery scandal, which he still has not been indicted on.Sep 24 15:58
DaemonFC[m]Some of his fellow House Democrats have publicly turned on him, but not enough to prevent him from being elected Speaker again next year, potentially even under indictment.Sep 24 15:58
DaemonFC[m]That's how bad things are with the state. If they want it, I'm pretty sure it's a trojan horse. Sep 24 15:59
DaemonFC[m]Maybe it doesn't matter. People aren't that smart. It'll pass because they think they'll get more free shit and then when it doesn't work out that way it'll be way too late and the question will never be asked again.Sep 24 16:00

DaemonFC[m]GitHub was really unnecessary, and there are ways to do social development in a way that's basically not a rehash of BitKeeper. Sep 24 17:23
DaemonFC[m]The idea that Linux will be using Github maybe tells me that fundamentally nothing was learned of the unpleasantness that ensued the last time Linux was in a proprietary source management system and how so much was almost lost for a solution that only worked for about 5 years.Sep 24 17:24

DaemonFC[m]Even with the mail in ballots this year, I don't believe we're in danger of a recount going into December and giving the Supreme Court a way to stop it before the count is certified.Sep 24 17:31
DaemonFC[m]The bigger danger is the Post Office moving too slowly and a bunch of votes that arrive past the deadline and aren't counted at all.Sep 24 17:31
*inky (~inky@141.136.77.66) has joined #techrightsSep 24 17:32
DaemonFC[m]It'll be votes that don't qualify to get counted if there's a problem, not a recount taking too long. Sep 24 17:32
DaemonFC[m]They're very hostile to immigrants down at the license branch.Sep 24 17:33
DaemonFC[m]Even in Illinois.Sep 24 17:33
DaemonFC[m]I had to spend half a day there just to get Mandy an ID that will be good for 11 months.Sep 24 17:33
DaemonFC[m]The state "workers" are too stupid to read a fucking letter from immigration that says "This letter extends your current EAD for 180 days past the date of expiration on your physical card.Sep 24 17:34
DaemonFC[m]So twice they put March 5th as the expiration and then on the third time the supervisor had to go in and cancel it and set it at September 1st, 2021.Sep 24 17:35
DaemonFC[m]She got pissed at me and said "You could always just come back in March!".Sep 24 17:35
DaemonFC[m]I was like, "Well, we shouldn't have to, and besides, nobody knows what the Coronavirus situation will be like in March, but if we have until September that's 6 more months where the virus can be running rampant and we don't have to come back here or worry about the state shutting down again and that's when we get called in for an interview with Immigration with an expired ID.".Sep 24 17:36

schestowitzhmm...Sep 24 17:37
DaemonFC[m]I really hate dealing with USCIS, to be honest. They're so disorganized and mean that you have no idea what they'll do, even if you do everything right.Sep 24 17:38
DaemonFC[m]They can and do often decide not to follow their own policies. Sep 24 17:38
DaemonFC[m]I put Mandy's EAD renewal in so that it would arrive at USCIS and go on file 180 days prior to expiration. They say you can do it at 120, but with what they've been up to lately.....Sep 24 17:39
DaemonFC[m]60 days more of a buffer against their monkey business.Sep 24 17:39
DaemonFC[m]Oh it's terrible. I'm hearing stories from attorneys who say "Well, USCIS should process these in 4 months, but it's actually taking 7, then it takes another 40 days to get your card. You know, that's 8 months. So I gave them 12 months to work on it. Hope it's enough.Sep 24 17:40
DaemonFC[m]Others say "I got mine in 4 months.". There's just no predicting them, so the safe action is to send in the renewal at the earliest they will file it.Sep 24 17:41
DaemonFC[m]Plan that it will take 8 months, or maybe 9. If it doesn't it doesn't, but I've heard people say they got fired because they sent it in 120 days before the expiration then USCIS took 130 days just to get them the letter saying it was extended 180 days while they work on the card.Sep 24 17:42
DaemonFC[m]Then the month after they get fired, here comes the card.Sep 24 17:42
DaemonFC[m]MinceR: You just have to figure you're dealing with a bag of assholes and account for it in your planning when it's the government.Sep 24 17:43
DaemonFC[m]I put in a CoA from Maricel's house to the PO Box for Mandy when it was obvious to me that there was a problem going on over there. Sep 24 17:44
DaemonFC[m]I've had several pieces of mail redirected since then and contacted all the senders to update his address. Updated USCIS too thank god.Sep 24 17:44
DaemonFC[m]Do we have to ask what would happen if she intercepted his EAD?Sep 24 17:44
DaemonFC[m]I know the USCIS CoA went through because the confirmation letter, his EAD, and several other things have come since then to the PO Box.Sep 24 17:45
DaemonFC[m]This has just been a series of near-misses, schestowitz and I'm trying to hold things together with duct tape and chewing gum sometimes, it feels like.Sep 24 17:46

DaemonFC[m]It was starting to dawn on me in December that if there was some weird virus killing people in China and nobody in our government was talking about it, and the planes were still flying, it was only a matter of when it would get here.Sep 24 17:47

DaemonFC[m]First you give him your money. Then he cheats you. Then you sue him. Then he either files bankruptcy or gives a small part of it back as a settlement because he can wait you out in court.Sep 24 18:14
DaemonFC[m]He defended walking away from all his bills. He said he "Didn't like the quality of the jobs.".Sep 24 18:14
DaemonFC[m]Yeah, the legitimate contractors got stiffed and he had to find ones that would still do any work at all for him, and so he was probably actually telling a version of the truth here.Sep 24 18:15

DaemonFC[m]The only ones that said okay was Discover, because I didn't file against them and I offered to put a security deposit on the card.Sep 24 18:18
DaemonFC[m]They hold onto it for a while. 8-12 months usually.Sep 24 18:18
DaemonFC[m]If you make your payments on time, they give it back.Sep 24 18:18
DaemonFC[m]If you don't, they take the deposit and close your card and your credit is even worse than if you hadn't done that because now you have another one with missed payments.Sep 24 18:19
DaemonFC[m]The deposit is basically easy money for them because the card is no risk and they get to charge retailers interchange, and while the deposits are on file with them, they buy bonds and make interest on the secured credit deposits. Sep 24 18:21
DaemonFC[m]As long as they have enough to pay back the deposits that need to go back out they can have as much of the rest tied up into bonds as they want.Sep 24 18:22
