Texas Unemployment

[BillBrown]

Gov. Abbott’s plan to gradually put us back to work while safeguarding our health:

Day 1 - Get up and get ready for work, but don’t go. Just think about it.
Day 2 - Drive 1/4 of the way to work, then turn back and go home.
Day 3 - Drive 1/2 the way to work then turn back.
Day 4- Drive all the way to work but don’t go in. Then turn back and go home.
Day 5 and beyond. Place 1,500 calls trying to reach the Texas Unemployment Office.

Sounds reasonable. I think it will work.

Perhaps. Maybe provide more services online? I don’t know, but the lines at the BMV are ridiculous around here. Sorry to tell you, Champ, but you get what you pay for. If you are content with waiting for over an hour each time you visit the BMV that is your choice. I’d be willing to find them so they can expand and provide better service. Everyone is entitled to their opinion.

I am part of the private enterprise and deal with every hand I’m dealt…whether good or bad and it’s done efficiently. I do not like government whine. There’s no excuse and if I was in charge, I’d go to who ever was in charge and fire them. If only I could be king?

Ok. That solves nothing. Just blindly firing a manager is poor management itself.

It’s sad bit kinda true

Texas Gov. Abbott is about to unveil his plan to get us all back to work without jeopardizing anyone’s health.
QUESTION- If he knows how to do this, why didn’t he do it a month ago rather than shutting the state down?

He didn’t want to upstage trump.

That being said, this is the government Texans want, a famously low service state where the entire budget is basically schools and health care and not much else.

@PeterGriffin

It’s happening across the country, nothing unique to Texas.

Strange. Seems to be a complete contradiction, but that can’t be.

[WuWei]

Probably true.

It’s ez pz my friend. The first thing is to inspect…what you expect. Government fails in this area…big time.

Do you think long lines at the BMV can be over me by better management? That no extra costs would be required?

[PeterGriffin]

Nope. Think about it.

I did.

Not necessarily.

[PeterGriffin]

Lol such bollocks.

They are working at the levels they are staffed and intended for.

Under the circumstances any org public or private would be in same boat. Just another chance to ignore reality for politics.

And yet I have had zero issues.

And how much of that is for those ridiculously huge Texas high school football stadiums?

[PeterGriffin]

Haha, we have one of those for my kids schools. $84 million high school sports and theater facility.

I am a customer. I have brought kids in to get their permits and drivers tests/licenses. Each trip has taken at least 3 hours out of my day. Of course, they aren’t open on Saturdays or Sundays so that mean so I am taking time off from work which makes this a pain in the butt.

Ours are closed down as nonessential. Because of that the state is forgiving expired drivers licenses that expired March 13 and later. They will have to be renewed within 60 days after the end of the state of emergency.

I was speaking in general, not specific to current situation.

All of it. Children first.
