Wasn't really looking to fight you on your personal choices. Just thought it was interesting and relevant to the post. You do you...
I've never had anything but the short version personally. I always just filled it out cause it takes all of 5 minutes. You raise sort of a curious question though and it does appear that answering all the questions is mandatory. Apparently, at least according to the source below, they use statistical methods to fill in questions left blank. Also, again according to the source below, no one has been prosecuted since 1970 for failure to fill out a census. With that in mind they're probably fine sending in scribblings, but they might send an agent to their door after 5 mailings to do the enumeration in person.
Oh man, I had gone down a red herring with it not long ago. I figured it was because of the original Hungarian Blood Oath/Contract. Good info! I'll update my sovcit lore accordingly.
Really it's just a misunderstanding of contract law. While it's getting less common, because of esignatures growing in popularity, wet ink signatures used to be required on some contracts. Which is really someone just physically making a mark on a physical piece of paper. Basically sovcits decided that "wet ink" applied to everything, which I can assure you is not the case.
Here's some more actual info about wet ink signatures:

Debt in general really. If these people just ran around yelling, "I don't know you! That's my purse!", and kept paying their debts I don't think I'd really have much of an issue with them.
Bottom one is from the US census. Which you're required by federal law fill out (specifically written in the US Constitution). I don't know if anyone would actually come after you for not filling it out, but I'm pretty sure writing crazy shit all over it and returning it would raise some red flags...
A sticker wouldn't count according to sovcit logic. Basically if it's not pants on head insane chicken scratch then it isn't binding under their "wet ink" belief. Also something about red ink is special, but I haven't quite nailed that down yet. It doesn't help that sovcit lore is harder to trace than time travel in the movie Primer, and has more continuity issues than the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise.
Feel your pain. Did the same thing for about a decade and it wasn't awesome. At the end of it I felt like all I did was commute, work, commute, and repeat the next day. Barely saw my family. Hope it gets better for you though!
At least it's an affordable shithole!
So you didn't read the article? Seems pretty clear to me why they feel like it's a problem and tackle the specific topics.
