But the complexity doesn't scale with users. Sure you might have more AWS or Azure costs, but you are still left with the complexity of a CMS with multiple integrations. You still going to need an SLA/support comparible with any federal run CMS. It might be even harder depending on budgets around supporting services.

You crack me up bro

And yet here you are replying

You still mad, bro? This was 8 hours ago — I’ve moved on with my life since then 😂

I think your ass might be missing a word in that sentence

I would like to apply to be on this team full time

You entirely missed my point.

It's not that there's vacation housing. Duh, I know that. It's the sheer amount of it bought by relatively high-income out-of-staters as a percentage of all housing stock that doesn't leave much for lower-paid locals, especially those in the service sector jobs that support the tourism.

Housing insecurity represents a real issue here and in tourist areas throughout the country.

really? the federal level only encompasses 50 states, i guess its not that different.. /s

No, you went to a third party site. It should be gov not com. Third party site comes up first and you have to go down to search to see the gov site. Basically it’s dmv gov something pa

A 6 million dollar a year CMS with integrations is pretty common at the federal level. I don't think the economics would change that much at the state level for a critical site 🤷‍♂️.

Breakdown time:

In 2019 there were just over 9,000,000 licensed drivers in PA. Assuming about 50% renewed online, and assuming an even spread over 4 years, you're talking 1,250,000 renewing per year online. That's $6,750,000 per year.

There's no way that the SLA, maintenance, hardware costs, and plugins cost that per year alone. If it does, going back to an initial statement, something is very, very wrong.

9,119,280 licensed drivers in PA

@ $6 per renewal

= $54,715,680.

Who runs the 3rd party payment processing companies and how are they connected to our politicians?

You need to maintain the site and the interoperability, paying for the SLA, etc. The payment processing integration must be maintained. Not the service itself.

But I'm not just technically correct. All this anger and vitriol spewed here at me hasn't proved that there is any noteworthy proportion of the GOP who wants these extremes. Hence why they're called extremists. If y'all are going to blanket label the other party anything without truly paying attention, while shoving so much hate into their arguments where it just isn't, then I can't help you folks. Clearly, the reactionary and immature "everyone is Nazis" is going to win out with the Reddit crowd, and no matter how many times I ask for proof of the allegations, none is provided, only "you should know," and, "You're just blind/ignorant," etc. If the Right wing failed to provide evidence as much as the Left in this post, they'd be crucified by the Left. Someone tried to show me 1 article about DuPont being evil and man was it a long read, but all it showed is that Dupont is a big, rich scummy lobbying company. When I tried to analyze the article, no one wants to play ball because they can't have their positions challenged when the almighty Reddit up-vote count is egging them on.

Positioning all Democrats as pedophile "groomers" and child abusers sets gullible conservatives/Christians into a mindset where they need to "save the children" by killing Democrats. If you don't think this speech inspires murder, just look at the Comet Pizza debacle.

It's not binary: "Nazi" or "not-Nazi" - you don't get to Full Nazi overnight. I totally get your concern about cheapening the word "nazi" but there's value in warning people that we seem to be on a similar track to Germany in the 30s.

There's not enough supply for housing in New York compared to demand, so people are moving to PA and essentially the same thing is happening all over again. Zoning laws artificially restrict the supply of housing and drive prices upward. People who want housing to be affordable but aren't willing to ever see their property values go down are holding a fundamentally impossible position.

Man, I get it. Really, I get what you're trying to say.

But just like "Kleenex" now means tissues (rather than just one brand of tissues) and "Google it" means "use a search engine" (even if you use Bing) ...

I think "Nazi" has lost its specificity. It now literally means "someone exercising authority with evil intentions", or something else generic like that.

Railing against that change in word usage will do you no good.

It's like, technically, you're correct, but nobody cares and everyone understands what the intent was.

Turns out that landlords are shitty people - who could've known!?

Make sure you are on the PennDOT official website, penndot.pa.gov or dmv.pa.gov. There are many impersonation sites online that will gladly take your money and not renew your license/registration.

Yore not funny.

If y'all have teams of people maintaining a payment system then something is very, very wrong.

An area marketed as a vacation destination contains vacation housing? This is my shocked face.

They have to pay teams to maintain the payment system. It does need a minimal amount of integration and maintenance to keep it up to date.
