“The 2020 census is likely to be more difficult”
You have no idea
ikr???
2020 is likely to be a very difficult census
The understatement of a lifetime.
I'm a census worker and people are completely miserable to me...
Yeah, aged like milk. I would put here a laughing emoji, it's just...
Really disappointed that the census hero wasn't named "The Censei".
Now I'm disappointed too. Damn, what a missed opportunity that was.
People would've thought he was just some weird weeaboo doing cosplay. It was actually a bullet dodged.

*Me in 2020 after going through unemployment due to Covid*
“HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA”
Hope everything is ok. 🙃
You good now bud? Hope things got better for ya internet stranger.
Almost surely a state website, not feds.
Wow, so my president just confused the census with a home appraisal 🤣
@Issac Oshen I couldn't agree more 😣
I don’t think anyone is surprised.
Census woman: What's your name?
"That's way too personal information."
Starbucks: What's your name?
"John"
You guys give Starbucks your real name?
Except in Starbucks you can say your name is Zxlorbax IX and who can do anything about it?
@@Chipiliro613 and who can do anything about you saying the same to a census person?
"Drumpf"
...derp
@Ganiscol people still have those?
Most Census workers I know of are older / retired females. I'm far more concerned for their safety than people answering the door.
Are they even allowed to carry a gun? I wouldn't knock on anyone's door in the US without a gun. Bunch of bad asses those pensioners!
Be careful, those ladies... They love penetrate some butts without consent!
@@ilarious5729 Only government worker who are allowed to carry a firearm are the ones you'd expect. Police, Military, FBI and such. Every other government worker could be fired for having one on them during official business.
@@Glornak that makes sense, it would give a really bad look if the whole government was armed. but I'd maybe make an exemption for these guys.
Well, rather no one having a gun but let's be honest, that's not gonna happen.
@@ilarious5729 Honestly i think a flashy badge and a panic GPS button would be most effective. Nobody would get violent once it became known the cops would be quick to respond. It'd be a federal crime after all so it's top of the list for police. Though that wouldn't do anything about the rude idiots who act like they're personal information is sacred.
Another great episode of Reciting Major Systemic Problems with the Cadence of a Joke with John Oliver!
That's the best possible way! Another one is musical!
Also a terrific episode of I Just Wanna Watch A Comedy Show and Go to Sleep But Now I'm Sad with Johnny Joy-Killer!

He doesn't want to give his name to government? When the local, state and federal governments already have it via driver's license most likely and also who does he think issues and keeps records of Social Security Numbers?
Right!? Giving one person your name doesn’t take away the fact that by the time you’re 18 your information has definitely been shared amongst many government and private companies looking to make money off of you.
ok then why the fuck do i need to tell you if you already know what it is? fuck off im not telling the government shit because they dont care about anybody in poverty. the census is a fucking joke.
I think I found the Libertarian.
symbolic503 if there’s a miscount in your state, you can lose senate seats, that’s a big issue
Don’t forget probably every form of social media.
Watching Donald Trump confuse the census for bankruptcy inventory was quite revealing.
Happens once every 10 years
Jonathan Stolow lmbo
Annabella Howard BINGO!!!
That explains it.
lmao
"That is a fact. A Disney fact" - ok, I'm convinced John is trolling HBO's legal team at this point.
I reckon every second episode of this show at minimum generates a lawsuit, actually. Why do you think HBO has its own legal team? Because it's a company standard to have your own law people on file? Nah, can't be that~
@@modothegreat108 Well, yeah, it is standard for any larger media company to have at least someone on retainer, if not an in-house legal team. But it is much funnier to think John is such a lawsuit magnet they basically need an in-house law firm.
@@djole94hns Yeah, that's the truth of it. But I do suspect John Oliver generates most of the HBO legal team's work.
@@modothegreat108 Yeah, I don't think drafting contracts for TV shows is as challenging as defending John from the barrage of lawsuits.
Well, at least any company or person who cares about PR will think twice about taking legal action against LWT after the magnificence of last Sunday.
Me: “I don’t know all that much about the census”
John Oliver: “It will really irritate Donald Trump.”
Me: “Sold. Where do I sign up?”
INERT impossible things actively awful for humanity delight trump
@INERT Doubling the fund for cancer research has a much higher chance of irritating Trump than defunding it.
Yeah, I call bullshit on that. Trump literally doesn't even know what the census does. I seriously doubt he cares who signs up for it, he's way too ignorant to keep track of that sort of thing
@INERT Well, Trump probably thinks the cancer research is the research on the star sign cancer!
INERT that’s not even close to the same thing
My husband sent this too me to watch because I am going to be a temporary census worker. I'm not sure if he thought it would scare me away from doing it but honestly it makes me more determined.
"The original census, in 1790, asked just four questions:
--The number of free white males aged: under 16 years and of 16 years and upward
--Number of free white females
--Number of other free persons
--Number of slaves"
GO get ‘dem answers! And be safe!
And do let us know how it went afterwards, cause wired is expected but fascinating is so much cooler.
How did it go?
Did you maintain the streaks?
... sent this to* me ...
I was a census supervisor this year, i had disabled veterans, retirees, college students and single moms looking to get out of the house, every one of them was great and were happy to the do the job. Please open your door for a census worker, we just want to keep this country strong.
Good for you. I salute you.
Sorry u have to deal with Trump
Thank you for your service to our country!
Well I can’t understand why you wouldn’t open the door for Census workers!

The guy singing in the commercial at 0:31 is Glenn Yarborough, who is the singing narrator of the 1977 animated Hobbit movie and it's 1980 sequel The Return of the King, who wrote such songs for the specials as "The Greatest Adventure" and "It's So Easy Not to Try". Did you need to know that? No. Are you mildly interested in that? Maybe.
I was definitely mildly interested
I was more than mildly interested!! Thank you!
I was especially looking for this comment, thanks for confirming. I heard the voice and thought : "Wait a minute..."
He was also the singer in a band called the Limelighters, who released a ton of folk albums. I grew up with their 1960 self titled album and their album "Through Children's Eyes". He and the rest of the Limelighters are my musical heroes, and I was delighted to see him in a John Oliver piece!
"...and one for groups."
Me: *suddenly recalls stress nightmares that looked exactly like that image*
_Oh no._
what a toilet seat falling down when no one is there to have done it? i agree that sounds terrifying!
wait, you have those too? are you me?
There is a pub near me where the Ladies has a stall with two toilets in it.
My issue with it is that if you answer you have 4 toilets, then the group one has to be one huge sharing toilet, not a bunch of normal ones. He said how many toilets, not how many bathrooms.
I'm too used to Seth Meyers, John Oliver needs to start doing corrections
Worked in the 2010 census. We had a lot of very stupid people claim it was an Obama conspiracy.
Coffee Jesus Deportables?
Oh, shit, I read that wrong and got my hopes up.
Oh boy! Even though people can agree to disagree about what Obama did in office in terms of policy, I think that asserting that the 2010 Census was an "Obama conspiracy" is a bit too far.

It's once a decade, folks. Put up with it and show these census workers, the most temporary of temp jobs, some hospitality. Be a good host.
In the immortal words of the great philosopher Abraham Lincoln, "Be excellent to each other."
Its outdated all other Western countries Just has a permanent accirat register. With every citizen having a unique number...
@Agent Smith No, no, no! You learned the wrong lesson from WWII. It's not "don't trust the government", it's "don't let your government be coopted by hard-right militants". The people should be working hard, and in unison, to create a government worth trusting rather than viewing it as an alien institution.
Yep. What was it with these shitty people treating Census worker like that? Always taught by my parent to answer them politely, offers tea or other refreshment and some cookies. And small pleasantry never hurts. They are doing a nation's duty.
Agent Smith what the fuck
Trump on elections: "They use computers. Why not pen and paper?"
Trump on census: "They use pen and paper. Why not computers?"
Well yes, elections are more secure with classical paper ballots. And also, the census would be easier to do if there was a national ID system where actually every citizen is recorded.
@@MrNacknime Now we just have to create a national ID system, which would be much better than what we have right now, but all attempts have been shot down in Congress so we still have to dig up 5-6 documents to prove that we are who we say we are.
@@TheTrainmobile It's sad honestly. Instead we have this broken social security system that just gets everyone's identity stolen because it's being used in a way it was never intended to be used.

"having my name is too much information for the government"
Well seeing as you have a YT/Google account you seem fine with a corporation having your private info but okay
Yes but they only use it to sell stuff to me and sell my information to others, like I'm a piece of meat, so others can sell me stuff as well, basically turning me into a money sponge, everyone can try me! Just because I gave one company access to my Information.
It's not like they provide me with the infrastructure and security of a working state, making sure that the government I vote for represents me and mine correctly.
It's the obvious choice to trust private companies over the Government.
/s 🤦♂️
Shhh Libertarians don’t like it when governments does things, but are ok with it when corporations do it because capitalism, don’t question it
if you're stupid enough to provide correct information that is... Just because the sign up form says "Lastname" doesn't mean I put my last name there.

Libertarian: It's unconstitutional

Libertarians are what happens when you take a conservative, feed them lead paint, have them do whipits and then kick them in the head.
Many libertarians actually think the Constitution is of no value because no living person has ratified it.

Said no libertarian ever!
The same people who freak out over the government asking questions during a census, probably also sign extremely long contracts without even reading them in order to get their phones to work.
537monster correct me if I’m wrong but didn’t the Supreme Court rule the other year you can’t be held legally responsible for those contracts because they’re so impossibly long by design to ensure the majority of people won’t read them, therefore making them unable to hold up in court?
@@NinjaTyler don't know you heard that from but I haven't heard that. Sure they can't be used to sign away liability for dangerous acts but most other rights? why not!
NinjaTyler idk, I just like making fun of people who try to act superior just because they hate the government.
@@NinjaTyler sending you to arbitration now. Off you go.
JK. I just read through almost all of The Walt Disney Company's updated terms of use since I had nothing else to do waiting on a live human. I believe 1 subscriber waited 8 hours, I ain't got that much time! The MDE app and Disney+ streaming service have tens of millions pissed. I believe that's why the humans must go(but their tech is shit since bringing in the INDIANS after forcing American employees who developed it to train before firing).
@@NinjaTyler Are you talking about something like a clipwrap contract? (Basically, the terms and conditions we click to use something online, like opening a YT account).
True, there are certain conditions that those kinds of contracts have to have to be viable (not that they're that helpful to consumers, really), but the problem is also largely related to the service/item related to the contract. Many times, there is no alternative to those services/items, so people are going to click through the agreement regardless of whether they actually understand or truly agree with the contract terms. And those contracts would still be completely viable.
Consider this: nearly *EVERY* social media account contains a clickwrap contract to access. There are practically no alternative sm sites that allow accounts/usage without one. So what can you do? Just not use sm at all? It's the same situation with practically every new piece of technology too, including cellphones. You either have to agree to the contract to use the item or just not use it at all, and considering how many people have sm accounts and cellphones, most choose the former option.

Trump sounds like he's confusing Census takers with tax assessors.
As an appraiser for tax purposes yes we would like to know how many toilets you have.
As an appraiser yes we would like to know how many toilets you have.
The american community survey which is done by the census bureau asks all those questions. It asks if you have running water, toilets, how much money you make, how much your utility bills are all kinds of personal questions. I never knew this until I was randomly selected to do it and ignored it because I knew the census was not till 2020 and a worker showed up to ask all thoose questions.
A census taker once tried to test me. I ate his liver with some fava beans and a nice chianti.

He's not wrong. Anytime Trump talks about anything, there is usually a lot of bs to unpack.
@@elijahcanning3020 Pretty much. He says such insane things that it's difficult to even know where to begin. First, you have to determine what the hell he's talking about, which is usually 3 to 5 different topics per sentence. Then you need to discern how he got from one subject to another, which requires a bulletin board and a quarter mile of red string. Once you've established that, you have to lay out all the details he got wrong or misconstrued. Then, you need to figure out where he got his delusional conspiracy theory "information" from, which is usually Sean Hannity.
When the president talks, he's literally just some guy trying to remember what he heard on Hannity last night so he can give you the gist. This is a man with access to the highest level intelligence reports, and he trusts Sean Hannity more.

@@pamelacass9642 I've lived on my own since 2002, until I moved in with my wife 7 years ago. Never received anything in the mail, not even in the last 4 years I've been married. Wife confirms she hasn't filled out a census ever, either.
I don't know how this works in the US but here in Canada, answering the census is mandatory. Refusing to do so is punishable by fines and in extreme cases, jail.
I think trump was confusing the cencus form with the hotel inspection form.
Kosak Grabovsky ahh yes an honest and understandable mistake
He was referring to the tax guy who used to come into our homes and see what we had. I read something about that once. As usual trump Is confused. lol
@@janea5898 tax or property insurance agent.
I would consider your opinion valid, if you didn't have an anime profile pic
IcantSeeReplies why the illegals still pay taxes a lot of times. Not to mention it’s important to track population growth for future planning of infrastructure such as roads and sewer. If you undersize a sewer because you think population growth is 2% when it’s really 8% you’re going to have a bad time

Citizenship question - "It's against the law"
Lol. As if el presidente cared about the law.
Isn't being an illegal immigrant also against the law?
John, your determination to bring to light issues that go unspoken of keeps me sane in this crazy world. What am I going to do for 3 months?!
Enjoy your break.
One thing that would have made this episode a tiny bit more useful: a public service message in Spanish assuring immigrants that they don't have to fear the census because there's no citizenship question.
Census workers are not medical workers and so are not covered by the Geneva convention nor U.S. law. ICE can pose as census workers while arresting people.
@@orlock20 Wow--I didn't know that. I certainly wouldn't put it past this administration.
yeah... i can’t believe they neglected the vast spanish-only speaking Last Week Tonight audience. 🙄
@XDigsX 13 They CANNOT use any census information. That is STRICTLY illegal. So EVERYONE should fill out the census otherwise the administration gets what they always wanted more political power by increasing Republican voting power.
@Luís Filipe Andrade I wasn't talking about illegal residents. I was referring to legal citizens of Latin heritage. Those people are afraid of the Census and they shouldn't be, but they are because we have a government willing to break laws and punish non-whites.

The census song is stuck in my head 😭 “You can count on me”
In Australia, the census form is mailed out and on a specified night everyone fills it out so that the count is completely accurate, and then we mail it back. No need for people to go into strangers' homes

Librarian: "So far there is... one... that I can vouch for."
Doesn't that mean that *nobody* that actually works *in* the library filled it out as well? Cause... 😂😂😂
There may be some silly rule against them filling it out... (In the test.)
@@thomasr7129 probably want to see how many non library employed residents fill it out
He can vouch for them because it was him.
I don't think it was the real thing, but yeah. An employee could have filled it out to see if it works.
@@thomasr7129 I would guess programs like that have a test function that the employees can run through but doesn't send any data just to make sure the interface isn't bugging out. And they don't want to compel the employees to do anything more so most just don't.

but also yes it is important for public services and such as well
I worked as an enumerator in 2010. The evening counting homeless people was fascinating. The entire country does it once on one night so that there's no double counting.
But...how do you find ALL OF THEM on one day?
@PragaMaterUrbium People in the U.S. don't want poor people to get IDs because they would have to show their ID to vote.
I work in a Census Office. Our enumerators are some of the most passionate people I've met. Such a pleasure. Thank you for having done this in the past.
As a European, I really wonder why, in the 21st century, you still haven’t come by having a population register. That would simply remove the need for this census.
Because they're Americans
For the same reason why they freak out about a citizenship question. A population count in muddy waters benefits a certain party which traffics illegal voters around the states.
Even with a registry you still need a census.
We are trying to make sure that we can provide neccessary services to everyone living in our country, and have an enormous number of people who do not wish for the government to be aware of their presence. Your system would provide for legal citizens, but leave out others who will be both needing, and claiming basic services.
@@tally1604 why? The number of illegal immigrants can't that high in relation to the populations total.
But I only have one toilet. Will filling out the census ensure that I can be properly outfitted with the correct number of commodes?
I guess that depends on how your area allocates housing / other funds. Filling out the census will make it more likely your area has the funds to do so.
I would seriously love to have a bidet!
I actually really liked the census ad from the 80’s
It's got a weird sort of charm.
I'm just glad bill Cosby wasnt in it. the crying Native American guy didn't know the words tho :(
People walking around all day with smartphones and giving their most private data to companies like facebook without any hesitation but answering some anonymous Questions ist too much...
To be fair, the government has guns and political power. Corporations only have as much influence as they're voluntarily given.
Still, sovereign citizens are probably the type to use linux and duckduckgo.
@@owlblocksdavid4955 I mean first off those corporations hand all of that power over to the government, that's what the Snowden leaks revealed and secondly they have plenty of power and thirdly sovereign citizens are usually not very tech savvy. Which is why they will record a video of them denying to answer the census on a digital device which will put the date and possibly location of the film into the file itself and then upload said file to KRplus which definitely saves those things and all of the activity of your account. Also the corporations can and often do influence the government so the corporations don't need the guns and they definitely have political power, that's what lobbying is.
@@hedgehog3180 Corporations have the cash to do whatever they want. They buy politicians, they write the bills that become law. Everyone should search ALEC, very scary. Muricans are getting too stupid to run their own country and that's by design. We are being bread and circused, entertained for control.

@JM Rodriguez-Luis I think the more important question is: who has conversations about Tupperware? (Just trying to see if utube is going to try and keep my leftovers fresh the next few days.)
The census Trump was talking about was one taken when he was a tot, when a whole lot of people didn't have toilets in the house. The long form I got in the '70s asked about televisions.
I love when people say they don't want the government knowing their information, like they don't already...
