One of my current dad-related nonsensical missions is that I need to get him a Georgia driver\u2019s license, or rather at this stage, state-issued identification because pffh ain\u2019t no way he\u2019s driving anymore in his current state.\u00a0 Despite the fact that his current license is still valid until 2027, he\u2019s been harping on me to get it changed over, as if there were some sort of threat of grievous harm if he doesn\u2019t, naturally because it\u2019s something one of his buddies said, and in true Korean parent fashion, what a buddy says >>> what your children says.<\/span><\/p>\n When I moved to Georgia in 2003, I remember going to a Department of Driver Services office, saying I needed to get a Georgia license, and basically the only things I needed were my current, Virginia license, and some sort of proof of address.\u00a0 I did have to take the written test on the spot, but because I am not a halfwit, such was no problem, and I was in and out of the DMV in a reasonable amount of time without too much aggravation.<\/span><\/p>\n I took my dad to a DDS office, and because nothing with my dad is ever easy, naturally there was a line stretched all the way back to the door.\u00a0 I had my dad go take a seat while I camped the line, and I had the positive wherewithal to look on my phone to make sure I had what I needed, lest we waste any further time to get up to the desk and be told we didn\u2019t have sufficient materials.<\/span><\/p>\n In addition to his existing license, and proof of address, it turns out that the criteria for getting a Georgia identification from somewhere else now requires:<\/span><\/p>\n Seeing as how I did not have either of these bullet points, I immediately pulled got my dad and we left the DDS, explaining to him that shit\u2019s changed, and this license mission isn\u2019t going to get done today, and that we needed moar shit before coming back.<\/span><\/p>\n It\u2019s apparent that the process has been deliberately made as hard as possible for immigrants to accomplish things by the book, but not at all surprising that things are the way they are like this.<\/span><\/p>\n Naturally, my dad has lost his current passport, despite the fact that he visited overseas as recently as 2022, however, I was able to find the last three passports he had previously, all expired, and one being his Republic of Korea passport.\u00a0 And fuck if he knows where any documentation of his US citizenship certification or immigration card or his Social Security card is; and add insult to injury, I found the envelope that his original SSA card came in, but the card itself was removed from the perforated sheet, lost to the aether of age and neglect.<\/span><\/p>\n So, in order to get my dad\u2019s Georgia identification, I will have to get him a replacement passport.\u00a0 Thankfully, as I recently did my dad\u2019s 2025 taxes, I have those to stand in place of his SSA card, and I have proof off address and his previous license that he\u2019ll have to turn in.\u00a0 But ironically hilariously, I still have to get him a new passport so he can get a driver\u2019s license equivalent.\u00a0 And obviously, anyone who\u2019s ever had to get a passport before knows just how much of a pain in the ass that singular task is, but I have to go through it all in order to just get to the next step of a different pain in the ass task.<\/span><\/p>\n Regardless, moar bitching about my dad wasn\u2019t what prompted me to start writing this post, but because it\u2019s on the topic of passports, all this nonsensical shit poured out because it\u2019s somewhat related.<\/span><\/p>\n But I was reading about how the Orange Administration is taking credit for a law<\/a> that\u2019s actually existed since 1996, about how those deadbeats in the country who are being on child support and alimony will have their passports revoked.\u00a0 From what I understand, this policy has really existed since 1996, but the amendment that the Orange Party is taking credit for is that instead of waiting for passport holders to try to use their passports before getting rejected and revoked, they\u2019re instead just going to preemptively revoke them through public records.<\/span><\/p>\n So in other words, a whole lot of nothing, in actuality.<\/span><\/p>\n But the funny thing is that I\u2019d be curious to see the data of just how much impact this is actually going to have in the country, because I have a hard time imagining the types of deadbeats who fall tremendously behind on their child support are really the types to be having passports in the first place, so they can jettison away from the United States in the first place.<\/span><\/p>\n Same logic applies to the types of people who will be crawling all over themselves in order to get limited edition passport books<\/a> with the baked potato\u2019s disgusting mug on them, as part of the United States 250th<\/sup> birthday bullshit.<\/span><\/p>\n Yeah, the schmucks who are interested in limited edition passports with their god-king on it, or\/and the types to be behind in child support, I can\u2019t imagine there\u2019s a big correlation with them having or even needing passports in the first place.<\/span><\/p>\n The funny thing is that in the grand spectrum of effectiveness of getting deadbeats to pay back child support, I feel like the states that have laws that are along the lines of those who owe, can\u2019t get hunting and\/or fishing licenses, probably have more success than any rules mandated by the stooges in DC.<\/span><\/p>\n As the subject says, I\u2019d really be interested in seeing a bunch of venn diagrams to illustrate the effectiveness and correlations between shitheads who don\u2019t pay child support, versus people who have\/need passports and those who have\/need licenses for redneck activities like fishing and hunting.<\/span><\/p>\n I\u2019m willing to be the latter is better at getting people to catch up on their child support than penalizing passports is.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" One of my current dad-related nonsensical
