That's not the governments job.
Census data isn’t? Municipality crime stats, collaborated by the FBI when they pretended to do good? Who they’re letting in and if that’s a positive or not?
It's the government's job to make policy decisions based on ideology, not data, you bigot!
How do you think the government will get data on health, outcomes, economics, science, "the natural world", climate, space, etc, etc, etc? And what makes you think that none of that data will be tainted by political motives, as we've already seen in the crime stats which completely omit entire cities and intentionally mislabel the demographics of criminals?
This idiot is asking for government to be all powerful and all invasive, to know every detail of every interaction, human or otherwise, the world over. And to do so from a secular materialist position such that there is no power, authority, or will above or outside the state. This person wants government to be god.
Article 1 of the Constitution established the census. It’s one of the few things that actually is their job.
They’re also the only ones that can publish crime data. But that should be about the individuals committing crimes. I want a government that thinks about individual citizens not demographic groups
