Census?

[Urbane Guerrilla]

What part of "run statistical analysis" did you not internalise?

I'm on-scene. You are not. Am I going to believe some last-ditch anticonservative fanatic, or dismiss him as being nutty as a PayDay bar? -- or on the gripping hand believe my own unimpaired eyes and ears?

You don't run statistical analysis on anecdotes, because they are self-selecting. You run statistical analysis on surveys that deliberately get a wide variety of responses.

Use a carp. You can blind yourself with it.

Use you? No thanks, you're too fishy.

I have received and completed two US Census snap surveys in as many weeks. They are trying to track Covid impacts, and the questions are pretty good. Interestingly, the questions have not changed, but my answers have. They even ask about mental health stuff with a handful of questions about how much you worry, if you find enjoyment in doing stuff and things like that.

I left the links in there because I bet they don't work now that I have taken the survey
