Anyone else think it's stupid that they're pushing ahead with the U.S. census during a pandemic?

Yeah, they're going to have some real accurate numbers. 🤪

Actually the census is used for funding to different states. They need the accurate numbers to get the right funding.

@Jakefromnj Now there's a guy who get's it. I'm thinking the census should be postponed until we've worked our way out of this mess.

@Luchs Actually the census is pretty important right now. The states really need the funding to deal with this crisis and if the numbers aren’t correct then we’re not getting the funding needed.

@Jakefromnj I'm looking at more long term values to funding. In the middle of this crisis everything I hope is being expedited based on real-time requests. If they were going to disperse funds today based on population size for a state or county and they needed a count, they'd be using past data from the last census taken, as the current census hasn't been completed and compiled.

@Luchs our governor was actually begging people to get their census to get the right funding lol
