Did you take it?

So most Americans are probably aware that we were all sent a letter asking us to take the census. Since you do it online it is very easy. A lot of people think it's "big brother" like, but it helps determine where government funds go, and other important things like that. I did mine today (you have until April 1st), and it took me less than five minutes. They don't ask social security or bank information, so it's not "that" nosy. It's the law to take the census, but I don't know how they would even think about punishing people for not doing it. Especially with the coronavirus situation. So if you haven't done yours yet, I encourage you to do so. Other countries, when was your last census taken?

Don't let your mom get fined! I have no idea how much it would be though. Actually, you could even do it for her, if you wanted. You know her basics, and that's all they ask.

@Courtlynn They have it every ten years in years that end in zero, so 2030 will be out next one. I remember hearing about it as a kid, but didn't pay any attention to what it was about.

Is this to determine the number of the population?

@AmbiePam We had that in 2011 and it was made by agents. I think we will have it next year, too.

You still have about a week to do it. I got a reminder again yesterday, so they really want people to do it.

I think our last one was in 2016. I think it was a paper form back then.
