## Resource

In this episode of Meandering Musings, Neil talks about two very different experiences at the DMV—one frustrating and time-consuming, the other efficient and respectful. What struck Neil wasn’t the people, but the systems behind them, and how those systems shape how we feel about government. It reminded him that small, everyday interactions can either build trust or quietly erode it.
