I’m sitting in line at DEQ to get my truck tested so it’s gonna cost me almost 200 bucks but then they also charge you $25 just as a fee give me a break, you want me to pay a fee so I can give you more money? When is this kind of crap gonna stop everybody’s got a hand out and do me a favor. Don’t make this a political statement. I’m just saying my frustration with fees right now. Stay out of trouble everybody out there.

END OF RANT.

Jim Travers knows how to handle this stuff!!!

Fun fact I just figured out, if you have a trailer thats under 2k lbs you can buy what DMV calls an intermittent trailer tab. Its a lifetime tab for your trailer for as long as you own it. Cost me $200, vs. $40 a year. Since i plan on having my trailer for more than 5 years, the math mathed out.

But there was a $3 debit card fee 🙄

That's a hot tip. Thanks!

I recently paid my boat and trailer tab fees in person since I had forgotten to renew before they expired. I paid the bill with a personal check to avoid that $3 fee, which seems like a backwards incentive to make them handle paper and all that. It feels weird writing a check when you only do it about once every 2 years.

If you go to their office and write a check (remember those things?) Ther's no debit or credit card fee.

But it's 5 bucks worth of gas.

I remember when candy bars were a nickel.
 
Protip; Always bring up "I remember when a candy bar cost a nickel" when some old fart starts bitching about cost. Substituting "I remember when gas was $0.25 a gallon" also really works well right now! Old farts conveniently forget that a large annual income was once $10k.

And never...ever...go to a restaurant with a stingy old fart. You might have to resuscitate them when they peruse the menu...or just have to watch them die because old farts are exceedingly nasty, disgusting, and foul critters. I know because I see one of them in the mirror every morning.

Things get more expensive over time

Complaining about it has yet to help, researchers say

In other news, water is wet.
 
This is late stage capitalism. They bleed us dry at every turn. Costs aren’t honestly represented. They want to squeeze every single drop of economy out of us. It’s really sad how our society has even allowed this. We should have been voting with our wallets a long time ago. I don’t even eat out anymore and I know there has to be many more like me.
 
It's important to note that Traver's Main Amendment should be utilized judiciously...but I think we can all agree that it's warranted in a case of this magnitude.

Nah....the boomer serfs (who are hoarding immense wealth) will just bitch endlessly on the internet, or to each other while swillin' shitty coffee refills for seniors at McDonald's and sporting meticulously crafted hilarious hairsprayed three-strand combover caricatures of the hairstyles they once wore when they were young productive citizens.

Younger serfs either won't bother to register to vote, or if they do will get suckered into believing whatever politician promises to instantly implement clearly simplistic and unachievable solutions.....or will lose interest when football season/new reality shows start.

Wash, rinse, repeat.
