Glad someone finally mentioned the 38 and revolver rather than a semi-auto. My favorite is 357 revolver; can't jam as far as I know, relatively small/light; ammo is reasonable (can use 357 and/or 38). I have standarized on it for home/self defence; car, three places in my home. Just a thought.

I would be willing to do the 2020 Census for 1/2 of what they are spending today. Just have a Web-form with verification and pay folks to complete them; perhaps giving them a $50 savings bond per household (which of course doesn't cost the government $50 but far lesss). This sould make everyone fairly happy, free money, government gets their information already entered into their system and participation would be well over 80% I suspect while the government saves a lot of money. Just a thought.

I also agree that It would have been more useful if "constant" dollars were used for comparison purposes. I worked a 30 day employment duty for the Census in March. They took one day just to hire me plus the background check, fingerprints (not done digitally), and all the paperwork. The second day was for paid training. It reminded me of how we use to do paperwork in the early 1970s those those block spaces where you enter the information in all CAPS. Then later someone has to enter the data, correct mistakes, etc. Amazing; they didn't use any end-user input technology at all.

It was clear to me that the objective of the census this time around was to count non-citizens any way possible.
