Now trying to destroy reputation of Census dept.

donny and wilber are not allowed to mess with the decennial census .... the names are are sealed for 72 years ... no gov agency can use them except for total count of persons. But, fuck face knows he can put the fear into folks to keep them from answering the 2020 census .... another reason to get out the vote.

Decennial census records are confidential for 72 years to protect respondents' privacy.

I was out of work in 2010 and qualified to take census numbers. Went door-to-door. Amazing the number of paranoid people who truly believed the black helicopters were hovering overhead. Not sure if Fox or talk radio created the monster, but it existed before Cheeto.

I was out of work at the time, and worked in several positions in the office as different phases of the process took place. I loved it, but felt a lot of worry for the people going door to door. The RW hate machine was doing all it could to convince people to be non-compliant. One of our enumerators got a gun pulled on them by a wingnut.
