I volunteer as a tax preparer, and Illinois requires information off the driver’s license or state ID in order to process the return. One of these information items is the weight shown. That’s used to match with the information the state has, to control identity theft.
But it’s pretty obvious from comparing what’s on the license with what I see in front of me that the state makes little attempt to confirm the information given.

Yes, this is a repeat, with some new additions — like that US tax form, which has added new complexities this year. So we’re splitting it into two parts, like Schedule 1 has become Schedule 1 and Schedule 1-A.

Nice to see a comic with heart.
Spoiler Alert!
What’s confusing to me is that (1) I see ads for stuff like this all the time, and (2) there actually were people who made a lot of profit in the global financial troubles in 2008 (as written up by Michael Lewis in The Big Short). So I don’t see a joke here. Is there one?
Timing is everything. Probably when Schwadron drew this, the stock market was still going up. Since then, the story has been different and volatile would be the best description.
Is there a non-Arlo interpretation of this joke?
Following on to Friday’s post (comic repeated below) we have further works of Genii-us.
