It's an old tired gag that "DMV bad" as if expecting miracles from an often understaffed and underfunded government office, like pretty much every other understaffed and underfunded government office (the Post Office works wonders even under constant pressure from chuds trying to tear it apart), but that isn't really the problematic part.
It's the "sloths slow, lol. Sloths at DMV because sloths slow and DMV bad" thing. Yes, sloths are slow biologically speaking, but when the message is "anyone can be anything in Zootopia and don't be prejudiced" the message gets murky and even nonsensical when animals still have essentialist characteristics that would make the "carnivores do want to kill herbivores here" fear messaging from the villain actually a valid argument.
Thanks, and that’s usually the message I use with my family lib or chud.
They complain about an inefficiency? I just say “ehh, we get what we pay for.” I’m not taking a stance so I don’t get chewed out, and I diffuse any attempts to lord over DMV workers.
