Just did the US Census
census ^ | 8/7 2020 | me

Did the Census online. Very easy.

Yeah, if you're not a conspiracy nut you should do the census for many, many reasons.

Is that ‘family’ thing the one where they ask how many toilets you have?

I recall people talking about that 10 years ago.

Yeah, posted this because the end is at end and want Freepers to participate.
I almost didn’t.

That sounds like it.

Sure, the info is useful, but it’s not info covered under the Constitutional census mandate IMO.
Don’t know how the Bureau gets away with it.

I was a crew chief last census

They're calling them CFS "Census Field Supervisor" this go-around.

Guess the similarity to Burger McWhopper Doodle "crew leader" annoyed some high-and-mighty Census folk...

I was a CCM crew leader in 2010.

High five!

Probably due to some unelected, ideological nobody in a position to make noise and present a glitzy ‘paper’.

Will Rogers once said that “More men have been elected between Sundown and Sunup than ever were elected between Sunup and Sundown.”

That’s true about an awful lot of things that now influence - and ultimately rule - our lives.

It's the ACS [American Community Survey].

The Keepers of the ACS usually get brevet rank during the Decennial.

They're REALLY, REALLY good.

Also: I’ve never received this ‘family’ survey; but I think I recall that there is no legal requirement to respond to it, as to the regular census.

At least, that was what we heard last time around.

Not a conspiracy nut. Gubmint can know two things about me.

1. I’m 1 person.
2. I’m alive.

Other than that, they can GFT.

Census is counting. Not knowing my race, religion, gender, LBTQRSTUV status.

Or income so they can cross-reference with IRS.

High Five back at ya’!

I felt my Obama-appointed “big chief” (not my area supervisor_) was trying to suppress our results in this conservative area. Kept insisting we re-investigate cases that obviously no one lived there.
Instead, we should have been looking in possible cases.
Cpuldn’t prove anything of course.
Incompetence is no crime.

That’s where I’m at exactly. They get ONE answer and that answer is a number.

So you deprive your area of representation and of money?
... just to virtue-signal?

So “good” of you to come here in apparent hopes of cheating conservative areas of their share of representation and money.
Or maybe you just haven’t thought this through.
Yeah, the “ethnicity” questions are stupid. But that’s all.

It’s tough for me because I live in a liberal area and I know they overcount here. So to make it more correct it’s tempting to not participate.

Then again I’m a Constitutionalist.

I “get” that.

When Obama was ‘elected’ I moved out to the boonies to a place that was a dump because I could afford that.
Very glad I did.

Everyone’s situation is different.

Yep, they got the number of citizens living at the address they mailed the letter with the “fill it out online” code # to. The rest was “(area code) 555-1212” “American” and the like. With all the COVID-19 stuff going on I don’t expect a follow-up visit (not that I would answer the door).

I suspect they will have a flood of respondents writing “American” under the “background” question.

I never got a packet but there was a card in the mail saying to go online and do it. I think I will because they will just show up on here if I don’t.

” they will just show up on here if I don’t. “
I don’t know. This virus has put them in a bind I think.

I’m tempted to seek employment with my local people because they seem to be stuck. (Though I didn’t want or need to) they seem to have a big problem here.
