Vanity: What are the pros and cons of filling out the Census?
9/1/20 | me

Posted on 09/01/2020 4:38:49 PM PDT by spacejunkie2001

I need FR's professional input: do I fill out the census? They've been banging down my door. I've ignored it in the past and they left me alone.

What's anyone's take on it

You have it backwards. If you make the blue states have a larger population in the census, they get more representation in Congress. If you shrink the population of the blue State they get fewer Congressfools.

There are no “cons”.
Fill it out. It’s quick, easy and safe. We’ve been doing it for 250 years or so- * like our Founders wanted *.

( Well, if you’re in a liberal area, maybe there’s a point to not filling it out so they get cheated out of money and representation... )

Consider also that funding prompted by the census is at a local level too. I live in a blue state but I am working in a red county. The county and schools there desperately need the federal funds but won’t get the appropriate share unless the count is accurate.

Plus, if the federal funds defray the costs of the county and the schools, this may impact your property taxes in a GOOD way.

Worked 50 hours last week on NRFU, and hope to work 50 hours this week.

They're talking about an extra six hours of OT being available on top of that.   ROFL face

if your a gay venusian unicorn it will just fk up their data. Since gender is no longer a science based deal, try serial canine hermaphrodite. as long as its not the required questions you can blow as much smoke up their arse as you want.

Fill it out online. When the intrusive questions come up, hit “next” a couple of times for each screen. The questionnaire will advance to the next set of questions & you don’t have to answer their nonsense.

Wow! That’s a lot of hours - good going and good money! I have been doing about 20/ week b/c I have another part time job. Also it was so difficult at first with the hot weather but now that the weather has cooled it is actually not too bad and I am starting to like it :) I realize it could end any day though.

I worked for the Census in 1970—Florida.

The neighboring Census taker (a Noo-Yawker) never left his apartment, and “finished” weeks before I did. He might have made more money, cuz we were paid by the [reported] visit.

All FAKED!

The census form we received this year did not ask for any info that could not be found in the public domain. It was like 10 questions. I filled it out. Very different than the one we got under Omuslim.

You referred to a person just doing her job and not intentionally trying to provoke you as, a “stupid negro”, “ignorant” and “fat, ugly, stupid, and from the ghetto”, etc.

Appalling and unnecessary.

I call them as I see them. She was a worthless piece of filth barely able to communicate and wasn’t even paying attention to her job. I’m just exercising some of the white privilege and supremacy that I was born with. If they call me a racist simple because I am white, I’ll show them what real racism is all about and they will wish for the days when I wasn’t a racist.

Another census enumerator here.

Most folks in my area are pretty easy to check in on. Occasionally I get a conservative and I always mention Free Republic if time allows.

Being asked to form Part of a “tiger team” to Head to big cities and count. 7 days, 10-12 hours a day plus travel. Not sure if I want to do that.

Or I may head out to East Texas and count. They are also way behind.

Nice pay and keeps me from dipping into savings in the slow season.

Our part of Texas started late. The first count was in early August. Have you heard of it being extended past Sept 30?

And they say the left is obsessed with race...

Shut off your computer and go find people in need to help instead of ranting online about your disgusting traits. Perhaps those activities will do the world some good and distract you from your seriously troubled and incorrect beliefs about your fellow Americans.

Last but not least, it’s been my experience that those who yell the loudest about how supreme and privileged they are as white people, are usually the last people who should be bragging.

I’m done engaging with you.

Last I heard, it was September 30th.

A week or so ago, it was September 19th.

The money for your "tiger team" would be nice - but you might be unknowingly dealing with ferals.

Plus, you'd be helping the Demorrhoids pump up their Congrift-tional representation, and Fed dollars to their Big City plantations.
