Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick just announced plans to use the Postal Service to conduct the Census instead of wasting billions.

WOW! I love Lutnick! Common Sense.

[Macho MAGA Man]

This is sanity prevailing. Great news indeed 👍

[Uncle Miltie]

I much prefer your current vocation.

Keep up the good work!

I always refuse to participate in the Census. Never answer the door. Thought that goes for anyone who comes to my door unannounced and not law enforcement.

Even law enforcement only gets me speaking through my camera. Never open the door unless they have the legal right to enter.

>>Common Sense

The USPS is $6.5 Billion + in the red as of 2023.

[MNDude]

this common sense must be causing the buerucrats to have a heart attack.

[DIRTYSECRET]

Brilliant. Wonder why no one suggested it earlier. Postal service could easily lie.

“already employs 625,000 people? It’s got cars, already has gas, and goes to every household. [Answer: USPS].”

Sounds good in theory. However, employing 625K people does not mean you can get them to actually do something. I can see it now, “not in our contract” says the union.

I believe Trump could make it work, but Trump will most likely not be the president during the next census.

This isn’t new. In an executive order from Eisenhower’s second term, in the event of nuclear war, the Post Office has the job of conducting a census to see who survived.

[Enterprise]

This could be a positive plan. We know though, that in the last census, blue states were over counted and red states were undercounted. This has tilted the balance of the House in favor of the Democrats. What safeguards can be put in place? I wonder. In any event, the fact that the census was fraudulent validates firing them all.

Some young go getter letter carrier probably did and was crucified by both the union and gubmint.

[hardspunned]

I did not know that. Interesting.

[kiryandil]

OK, this is amazing.

I worked the 2010 and 2020 decennial censuses.

Post office doing census….

[Sacajaweau]

Don’t understand. I’ve never had anyone come to my door. I got a questionaire in the mail and sent it back. Isn’t that how it works now?

[skr]

Makes too much sense. Democrats will complain (don’t know about what, but they’ll find something).

[kiryandil]

Are you - The Postman?

One of my favorite movies.

There are those who don't respond, and there are places that don't receive a questionnaire.

I live in rural Hawaii.
USPS will NOT deliver to my physical address.
There are a lot of places in the USA are like that,
We have to go to the post office.
Because of my location my PO box is free.
How do you handle that?
in your scheme?

If you don’t fill it out and return it, they send a person to interview you and fill it out for you.
