I received another census form in the mail today. The first one I got last week was already sent out. There was a letter inside telling me that if I already sent one in to disregard this one. How much is the government spending on this? So, to fill out one census I need a letter telling me it's coming, then the census it self, then a reminder to send it in, then another copy of the census. I wonder what company got the printing contract for all of this? Whoever they are they're probably making a bundle.
I saw some guy on Twitter (GeorgeChristian) tweet this:
I got my "Census Form" last week and filled it out. Didn't mail it yet but sent them a letter telling them to expect it in the mail soon !
Wish I'd thought of that one! 😀
Knowing how census data was used to put Japanese-American citizens in what Americans would call concentration camps were they not located on US soil, I am very hesitant to answer questions not related to apportioning the US House of Representatives. For race I check “other” and specify human.
Just thought this was great! ;D
