So we hand over the data willingly? That's not self defeating? Instead the right thing to do is give this regime quality data? They're rewriting the data on climate change, I don't expect them to use this data reasonably either.

The only reason he cares about a 2030 census is he still thinks he'll be in power. If he is, I don't think what I put on the census will really matter.

You know what'd be ineffective? Filling out a fascist census and sending it in unchallenged. I'd rather commit to malicious compliance than straight up compliance.

Oh, yeah, I'm a big fan of the census when done properly. But they're throwing integrity out the window for all the reasons you just stated. So I'm not going to let their racist census reflect reality. "But you'll get less resources from the government" I live in Denver, they'll find a reason to screw us over anyway. Like the Brazilian president, I will not humiliate myself by meeting with Trump where he's at.

"It's a family decision" would immediately get me laughing. That is so wildly absurd.

The census is optional right? Just... Don't do it. Or leave that question blank.

I hope they can get it under control. The pandemic sucked but lockdown was the right thing to do.

"Respect another country or be abandoned by your own" sounds like treason.
