California man writes long blog post about government efficiency without a hint of irony

Apparently a Santa Ana, Cal. man recently posted a 5,000 word blog arguing in favor of government-run health care. The reason he had time to post such a long blog was that he was waiting for three hours to receive a two-minute service from his local DMV office. It seems to never have occurred to the man that government-run health care might resemble government-run driver's license services.

This moron, who has serious cognitive dissonance and must be completely unaware of the reality surrounding him, wrote:

“America is way behind the rest of the civilized world—we need universal healthcare and NOW. ... The United States government has more than proven its capability of running large-scale operations for its citizenry; for instance, the Department of Motor Vehicles and the Post Office are stellar examples of efficiency and financial prudence. Also–almost forgot—Amtrak. Great performance and NO recent disaster incidents that come to mind. And NASA on top of that! If NASA weren’t doing a world-class job then you would expect a boom in private-company space exploration, to the point where NASA itself might come to rely on the private companies, even. Has anything like that happened? I think not. ... Someone just let me know when a PRIVATE company shoots the most powerful rocket by a factor of two into space. I won’t hold my breath!”

This story appeared in the Bablyon Bee on Feb. 8 -- less than a week ago. In the weeks preceding this remarkably ill-informed post, this moron, Ralph Dunkley, apparently was missing all of the news about Amtrak killing people left and right in recent months, as well as all of the news about how all of America's heavy-lift space launch capacity now depends upon Elon Musk.

Since the California DMV graciously gave Mr. Dunkley all that time to write his blog post, one hopes that he was appreciative when, after his three-hour wait, a computer glitch sent him to the back of the line to start all over again. Hell, I hope this guy gets his government-run health care. And I hope the DMV runs it.
