Truth
Geez, you are just a youngster!:)
Years, ago I took an early retirement program and didn’t work for a year on advice from our CPA.
It was amazing the calls from pollsters I got from 1 pm to about 4 pm, M-F. Later, I learned that was how they got the unemployed/on welfare liberals, waking up for the day.
To shorten the process, I would tell them, that I was a conservative republican, Christian, Veteran and I voted republican. Usually they would hang up, and some would thank me and then hang up.
Gallup and Pew got the message and stopped calling.
“...1 pm to 4 pm, M-F. Later I learned that was how they got the unemployed/ on welfare liberals, waking up for the day.”
Slightly off topic, realtors use a variation on this trick to sell houses in “diverse” neighborhoods-—show houses in the morning, before the crackheads wake up.
