Good episode. The comparison to the criticism football players receive for kneeling vs. the disgrace of actual administration officials abusing the benefits of their position via private jet rides is the sort of clever connection between two seemingly disparate events that I like from LWT. Plus the interstitial about Megyn Kelly's new shows versus her prior comments was a pretty damning juxtaposition.
The main story, on business consolidation, was too big of a topic for Oliver to try to encapsulate in fifteen minutes, but I did get a laugh out of synced up display of politicians saying "small business is the backbone of this country."
It was nice to see one more update on the Scranton train situation, with a nicely absurd conclusion to it all. And on the whole, Oliver & Co. were just very funny tonight, from the digression on designer shoes to the clip of the guy so delighted with himself over his notion of putting his underwear in his pockets.
Overall, an amusing episode.

Say it with me: SMALL BUSINESS IS THE BACKBONE OF AMERICA.
You know, John, you say you're not so immature as to replace the sound effects on Jim Cramer's button panel with fart noises, but then you spent the rest of the episode calling back to that. I call bullshit.
