like-minded

NPR’s Robert Smith interviewed “recent graduates,” who share an apartment, about the census. Here is what they had to say:


Mike: Did we get the forms?
Nate: Yeah.
Mike: We did. I didn't see any yet.
Nate: We still get mail from the past 30 people that have lived there [sic]. So it's like who knows if people are getting these.
Smith: Well, actually the census knows. These few blocks around Wythe Avenue and 6th Street have about a 36% return rate.
Nate: I guess it's laziness and like what's the point? When it comes down to it, nobody wants to fill out like another form that's just like getting sent to your house that really relatively has nothing to do with your life. I mean people would do it if they got like five bucks.
Smith: Five bucks?
Nate: Yeah. Or if there was like more than just like a piece of paper that's like you have to do this or you could get in trouble, which no one will get in trouble; that's why they don't do it.
