I believe that temporary plates last longer now due to COVID-19. Not sure if this is still the case. Officially only a dealer can issue them butYou may be able to find someone who can help you. For the right price of course. I think all Temporary plates have the same extension so you can just take the 30 day one and keep riding, No need for 90 days. This was the case back in April I’m not sure if this is still the case.

Now do BMG (and its affiliates).

There was one Lakewood company that got close to $5 million IIRC.

They also got a several million dollar grant from the CARES act.

. . . And for some reason it still takes weeks to get an appointment there. I wonder where all the money is going. . .

Unlike a regular business, they don't charge for their services, and they have literally no revenue source except for government funding.

Unlike a regular business, they are fully funded by the government.

Additionally they got millions of extra dollars this past year due to COVID.

Unlike a regular business, they are fully funded by the government.
According to the LRRC that's not the case. From their homepage at lrrcenter.org :
"Government funding only covers a small percentage of our services.
We cannot continue to meet the growing need without your help"
