Two questions I’m not going to answer any more:

[Geezerette]

My income and my ethnicity. Going to be more selective on birthdate too. This morning I called the local “Senior Law Office” which is a service (?) offered through the city Senior Affairs. I’m renewing my lease and wanted to check on how the “early termination” clause might be interpreted in case of death or disability.
She started asking name, address, phone, birthdate (I shouldn’t have given that, just age), then wanted to know my income and ethnicity. So I said whoa! It’s not restricted as a low income program and my ethnicity should have nothing to do with it. Except that NM has gone ethnicity crazy recently )from having neglected the Indigenous People for so long and trying to make up for it, (and the Hispanics think they own it. )
Asked her why and she said their funding source required it. I told her I didn’t see any reason to give it and hung up.
With personal data being compromised and hospitals and banks not safe, I’m just not going to contribute to an Unknown data base.
Or tell them My ethnicity is “Northern Hemisphere” and my income: “I don’t know, I’m ‘kept’”Hahaha.

Dear Geezerette,
I understand your reluctance. However, I was responsible for generating reports for a food kitchen's clients. The actual sign in sheets were confidential, but the report I generated broke down the number of recipients by age group, gender and ethnicity. These reports were used to get grants to keep their good works going.
Below is what the report looked like:

0-4 192
5-10 366
11-15 374
16-18 399
19-59 1257
60+ 290
MALE 1583
FEMALE 1295
LATINO 2806
ANGLO 65
NATIVE AMER 0
ASIAN 0
AFR AMER 7

I'm never going to answer the question "What's your email address?" again with my regularly used email address. I provided it when I was looking for a nursing home for my wife and since then, my email has been flooded with spam. They obviously sold it.

I hear ya. I keep a crappy email address for everything except family. I have noticed that Russian brides don't seem to want me anymore. Just funeral homes, blue pill makers, and of course the extended warranty folks.
