Thats true, but you can lie or prefer to not say (at least on that Question).

Also I meant the gov in general, the government has access to my health record albeit with presumably lots of privacy laws preventing random non consensual access.

There are also private companies data collection to worry about of course (which one should put a lot of effort in preventing).

My point is a census in terms of privacy is so low down on the list on privacy issues. If anything its very private, given the various laws preventing access.

Not to say you should out yourself because of that, and choosing prefer not to say or straight is ok, just making a general point on the census.

The gov could figure out 98% of what you put down on the census using other means. I.e im trans. They can work that out by listing my perscriptions easy peasy.

Interest rates are one lever that can be pulled to try and produce an effect to control inflation/unemployment/economic growth. Ignore any advocation for removing it.

Imo tho, we have relied far too much on it to get us out of economic crisis (i.e. covid, where interest rates were 0.1% and then looots of inflation afterwards). A good budget goes a much further way to solve it and its effects are long term.

Thats good. I would hate it if our consistent raping of the envrionment lead to tourism decline

They’re a serious contender in the same sense trump was. An orange racist bafoon who set out to “drain the swamp”. A ridciulous candidate who would only succeed if american politics had become psychotic. Except of course, it had become psychotic. That psychotic politics has come here
