It would be very hard for them to know you lied. One of the reasons for the census is to make sure services are distributed appropriately. It takes years to go through all the data.
It sounds like you don't want to be counted yourself, or are worried about someone else, and I'm sure you have reasons. It could be possible for someone to obtain the data and use it as a registry or list. Disclosing information form the census inappropriately comes with a stiffer penalty that lying (jail time if convicted) but I suppose how much comfort that gives depends on how much you trust the government.
They can't where I live. No one can. It is tied to your health card (card you use to access the healthcare system). The website about jury duty in Ontario says that people may receive an eligibility form even if they are in long term care, or have someone acting as Power of Attorney.
I think the idea is that if you fill out the form indicating that you aren't able to mentally or physically serve you won't get summoned unless they really need people. You don't need to provide documentation at the eligibility form stage.
I'm in my 40s and I've never been summoned. I've filled out the form once or twice, but said I could do it. I've always lived in fairly populated areas. I live rural now, but I believe the closest courthouse is in the nearby city. Maybe if you live in a less densely populated area you are more likely to be called.
I guess I view the police as inherently political so I'm not as surprised there?
Not that I think medicine is without bias or anything wacky like that but I can't imagine trying to do public health when the info you are being fed is from someone who won a popularity contest.
Thanks. Is there a reason they can't bring lawsuits without the calling investigations via Congress? I read about orgs or states suing the gov. What am I missing that they can't bring suits now? Maybe they aren't the wrong party in a super black and white way?
I understand what suing is (or at least I assume it's not that far off from tort law)
What I don't understand is why the democrats would have to have the majority in the house of representatives to sue. Does it have to be congress to sue? Doesn't the blurb say citizens can sue? In this case does congress mean the senate or the house of representatives? Either or both?
I just looked at two states: Alabama and Pennsylvania. Alabama requires a high school diploma. Pennsylvania does not. They do both require a training course.
These are the people who show up when someone dies and they are not in the care of a doctor. They decide the cause of death, and when autopsies get performed.
I'd love to see their platforms. What a nightmare of a country.
Edit:
In most states, coroners are not required to be physicians or forensic pathologists. State law often mandates specific death investigation training for coroners.
Could someone explain how having a majority would impact the ability to sue people?
Aren't the courts separate from the house of representatives?
In the majority, Democrats would have the ability to sue the Trump administration in a more effective way since they have not had standing to do so in the minority. Whether it is compelling testimony from a top administration official, escalating a fight over obtaining documents or trying to halt the construction of Trump’s White House ballroom, Democrats plan to be strategic and aggressive about taking their fight to court.
Eta: Thanks all. I read the article again after the replies and noticed something I missed:
But Democrats say they are not deterred by that, including a recent decision by the Supreme Court that cleared the way for Trump to continue construction of his massive new ballroom project at the White House, concluding that a preservation group lacked the legal right — known as standing — to challenge the project.
A different article explained the particulars:
One of the government’s principal arguments in the case is that the Trust lacks the legal right – known as “standing” – to sue in the first place. Lower courts have said that the Trust has standing because one of its members, Alison Hoagland, has shown that her enjoyment of the White House as an architectural historian is being harmed by the new ballroom.
As others noted the idea might be that if they are bringing suit about the office of the president ignoring congress, then if they sue as congress (by having the majority) it would be less likely to be challenged as not having standing.
Off topic but in the rest of the world we hear about how easy it is to sue in the states... but it seems it's a lot easier for orgs to sue on behalf of others outside of the states!
I think this view just means those people don't fully get the implications of science. Science does entirely invalidate religion IMO. You can't both accept and follow the scientific method AND believe in magical thinking.
You're allowed your opinions. Science doesn't give a reason things are so. That's the job of philosophy. Religions fill the gap for some people. "It just is." fills the gap for myself.
and it also makes unnecessary "leaps of faith" and claims to have certainty that doesn't stand up to scrutiny.
Are you looking for a religion with proof? Doesn't seem like something that you are likely to find.
I don't understand why this matters in any concrete way?
That's fine. It's an opinion. It matters to some people and not to others. I was going to say it doesn't matter to me until I read the rest of the reply...
Neither of those outcomes has any effect on you personally whatsoever.
The achievements I am most proud of are the ones that don't impact me personally whatsoever. While I don't care if people remember me after I die, I think I will take comfort in the idea that I have had a positive impact on at least a few beings.
This is the correct answer. Turning on the hot water before the dish washer starts clears out the not-too-hot water that was in the line. They don't use that much water so it apparently makes a difference.
ETA: but washing your hands (with hot water I presume?) won't impact the machine.
Doesn't help if people read "Dems bad" as "don't bother".
I'm not from Scotland but the gov has a website with all the answers:
https://www.scotlandscensus.gov.uk/
Last census was 2022, next one will be in 2031. It was late for the 10 year cycle because of COVID.
Questions about laws cannot be answered for the 2031 census because they are still working on figuring out that one, and laws will change. For 2022:
No, tourists don't fill out the census unless they are
So on holiday? No. Technically a tourist but living there and didn't respond to the census in your home place? Yes.
Penalties for refusing to fill out certain sections do not apply to questions about

But otherwise it's a fine (also outlined above)

How's the home grow going?

(I think the people who like Carney also like Harper)
Which part?

Does Jefferson County have a medical examiner, or just a coroner?

Why the fuck are coroners aligned with political parties?
Oh, okay. The automatic response I was referring to was the start of every French class from grades 1-8, the class answering in unison.
"Bonjour les enfants!"
"Bonjour Mme. X"
"Comment ça va?"
"Ça va bien, et vous?"
"Oui, ça va bien aussi!"
You used toi with your French teacher???? Ostie les enfants sont vraiment sauvage!
I guess a lot of people were, lol: https://www.ctvnews.ca/canada/article/vous-or-tu-quebec-launches-new-civility-policy-in-schools/
I think this really is key. The US committed atrocities here within living memory.
"Ça va bien, et voooooouuuuuussssss"
You can't go around triggering automatic responses like that lol
