Read excerpt
Hello readers.The headline of this post comes from a line of classic television that has been reverberating in my brain in 2026.It’s from “The Last Exit to Springfield,” a 1993 episode of The Simpsons written by and Wallace Wolodarsky. Burns invites Homer to his house to bribe him, so Homer will convince the union to call off the strike he instigated by admitting to his coworkers he regretted trading their dental plan for a keg of beer.<div class="youtube-wrap" id="youtube2-no_elVGGgW
