Highlands is just a bunch of rich white people. Why would a socialist/maxist want to inflate numbers that would work against the sole purposes of increasing welfare rolls and gerrymandering congressional districts?

Maybe the Census Bureau doesn’t want to count rural white people. Western Maryland has several communities that have virtually disappeared from the Census Bureau’s radar screen because of this Post Office Box business. Is this something the Census Bureau has never encountered before? Or are more imbecilic sorts in charge of the census this year? Or do these ACORN types want to exclude some decidedly non-ACORN folks so they can spread things around differently?
Here in West Virginia many counties over the past decade have been involved in projects to regularize the naming of streets and roads, eliminating duplicates, and creating a consistent system of numbering so that first responders can be efficiently directed after a call to 911. The readdressing process is coordinated with the USPS. Many addresses have disappeared in this but no people disappeared; and many new addresses have been created, but no new people were created — and the Post Office knows all the new addresses of the people living right there in the same houses they have always lived in, and maybe the Census Bureau just could have had the sense to check with the Post Office Department instead of sending a whole bunch of undeliverable mail, and sending a bunch of people at big wages to try and find people who are right where they always were. But that’s your government strutting its stuff.
Why don’t these smart-ass congresscritters who hold hearings on practically anything announce hearings on the handling of the 2010 Census, which is FUBR, an acronym those of you who remember better times will recognize. The reason there will be no hearings is because a census that is FUBR is what the administration wants, because it is easy to rig and corrupt and skew. When the 2020 Census discovers a whole bunch of rural white people the 2010 Census missed then there will probably be hearings to prevent these rural white folks from existing.
Well if they don’t count them, they won’t know how big of a problem they have on their hands. Plus, they won’t know how many votes they need steal an election.
Seems to me that them FEDs have created another problem that now they need to fix.
Kinda makes you wonder how well the governmnet is going to run healthcare, doesn’t it?
Here in rural WNY, in the snow belt, lots of us do not have roadside mailboxes, mostly because they are snowplow magnets.
We haven’t received a census form either, and I suspect this is happening all over the US.
Screwups and incompetence in the Census are not important this time around. The results have already been compiled.
I’m in this same situation and so are all my neighbors. PO doesn’t deliver to our addresses. The census forms were hung on our doorknobs.
When it’s really a PITA is when we want to order something online and the shipping method used isn’t clear-if it’s the via Postal Service I need to give them my PO Box address, if it’s via FedEx or UPS I need to give them our street address.
Thanks...that was very clear. I think I was dense when I first read what you wrote.
It reminds me of what happened when I voted in the GOP Primary in 2008. I had a 25-year driver’s license, and the address on the front was the original address. Whenever I moved, I notified DMV and they instructed me to put the correct address on the back. Poll worker would not let me vote because the instructions to the poll workers was that the address has to be printed on the front. So...what was perfectly legal for the Police and any other jurisdiction was not legal enough to vote.
I ended up voting because I had a proof if insurance card in the glovebox of my car, and I was able to show alternative ID.
Ironically, I had to get the license replaced that year anyway because the State decided that even though the license was good for 25 years, the photo was only good for 15. Revenue enhancement is my guess.
Driver’s licenses are no longer mailed here in AZ...they are printed and issued on the spot at the office where you get the photo taken. I suppose that was why I was confused.
