In theory, the question looks fine. In practice, it will lead to undercount or a conservative Commerce Dept manipulating results once the counts come in and/or a conservative DOJ using it to roundup undocumented persons. They don’t say that second part in a poll.
Thing is, though, while it makes intuitive sense that unlawful immigrants won't answer a census question on citizenship or a census containing such a question, I have to question whether they respond to the census in any great numbers with or without such questions.
Everyone that assumes this results in an undercount (compared to the usual undercount) seems to be rather speculating. And that includes GOP strategists.

What American car during that period was not a piece of crap? There were probably a handful which were good cars and have value today a collectors vehicles. Maybe some of the Trucks made during that era? The Trans AM? I can't think off an everyday car of the top of my head which is sought after by collectors and restoration types from the mid 70's to early 80's? The El Camino???
A number of Tort Lawyers struck gold and oil during that period thanks to some of the POC's coming out of Detroit. Also the owners of Toyota, Honda and Datsun dealerships back then started making their cash after being ridiculed by their counterparts earlier in the decade and in 60's for buying into those small cars and trucks Japan was sending over here. Yea, those earlier dealers (or their families if they took over the dealerships) are happy campers now if they still have them. Along with many of the above note Tort Lawyers and their families.
Those early Jap cars may have been reliable, but holy shit they were ugly and underpowered. Most of them made the Mustang II and Vega look like pininfarina (who was committing some of its own atrocities at the time).
Emission controls and CAFE and unwillingness to engineer around them or improve them (at first) really undid the US auto industry. There were other factors as well, but emission controls are a central engineering problem.

Which, because I am a true surlster, caused me to break out in gales of laughter in the theater. But only because it was BBC.

Yes, you can - the fact that my personal IRA was with Fidelity made it easy (in-company transfer of assets).
As to why - for early retirement, the penalty for borrowing/withdrawing was significantly less on the 401k than the IRA. The numbers aren't astronomical (below 7 figures) but the timing (wanting to retire before 60 which is coming up fast) helped it make sense.
Terminate employment and over 55?

Jests aside, I agree that there were several cues that Sullivan was gay. But to what end?

Financial sophistication isn't necessary to be an executor. For the most part it's clerical work. Similarly, I'm not sure you need to be a financial genius to ascertain that you're being ripped off by attorneys.
Probate isn't super mysterious. There are things you have to do to commence probate, and deadlines to meet once commenced. The deadlined tasks aren't difficult or opaque, they just need doing.
Deciding if, when, or how to liquidate or deal with assets and liabilities could take some financial know-how, if it becomes necessary and if the assets are complicated, but the lawyers can probably keep anything grotesquely stupid from happening.

Leo was a cop trying to be a bad guy and Matt Damon was a bad guy trying to be a cop. But I think he was also a gay guy trying to be a straight guy. He didn't really want to go on a second date with the psych lady. When Alec Baldwin talks about how being married is important because "it lets people know you're not a homo and that your dick must work" he laughingly responds "ohhh yeah it's workin.....overtime" but then the next scene his girl is talking about how he can't get a boner. Then he has a weird reaction to the girl getting pregnant even though we all know it's Leo's baby.
Maybe. Maybe not. Maybe go fuck yourself.

An Assemblies of God church. Pentecostal, with some of what comes with that (speaking in tongues), but hard to categorize on the "evangelical" spectrum. Mostly congregational.

I rolled my personal IRA into my company managed Fidelity 401k
First of all, didn't know you could do this. Second, why would you? An IRA is more flexible (beneficiary designation, investment choice, etc. etc.) than a 401k. The only reason I can think of for doing it is that a 401k is more absolutely exempt from creditor claims than an IRA (IRAs depend on state law for exemption and are exempt in Texas). I suppose you can borrow against a 401k and not an IRA, but yeesh.

In addition to being run by bean counters, before CAFE and emission controls, American cars were moving toward large-displacement V-8s, while Japanese were mostly confined to small displacement I4s, with the odd exception. They were far better positioned, mostly by accident (and poor foresight in Detroit), to make more satisfactory cars than Detroit under the fuel economy and emissions constraints.
