Hey, Seriously -- Fill Out the Census
Or at least the questions about number of persons. It's ten questions. You have that much time.
Bear in mind the numbers from the census count decide the number of Representatives for each state, and determine the apportionment of Representatives in each state, for the next ten years.
There has been a long exodus away from the Rust Belt to the Sun Belt. Every ten years, we add additional Representatives from Republican territory, and subtract an equal number from Democratic territory.
That's not going to happen if a lot of conservatives have a weird "off the grid" idea of boycotting the census.
