This is my favorite episode of the Simpsons, ‘You Only Move Twice’. Hank Scorpio is the best one off character the Simpsons had. [“I don’t expect anything from you other then to die, and be a very cheap funeral!”](https://youtu.be/6w_MfOb0vtc?si=3rvMgQA0zrU5idmy) or the [“If you could kill someone on your way out it would really help me out”](https://youtu.be/1VAjjG7UPXA?si=8qf52r_6r-Md0syk&t=237). Such a hilarious character.
Hank Scorpio could be a tech oligarch parody today. It’s amazing how well this character aged or how terribly America has fallen back into the gilded age complete with company towns.
Scorpio!
He’ll sting you with his dreams of power and wealth.
Beware of Scorpio!
His twisted twin obsessions are his plot to rule the world
And his employees’ health.
He’ll welcome you into his lair
Like the nobleman welcomes his guest
With free dental care and a stock plan that helps you invest!
But beware of his generous pensions
Plus three weeks paid vacation each year
And on Fridays, the lunchroom serves hot dogs and burgers and beer!
He loves German beer!
oh, that disclaimer at the end. capitalism to a T.
Did you notice how people weren’t pushing each other down? I’ve never been to a place like that!
It actually seems nice though.
Notice how every building was gentrified into a cafe
They gentrified the homeless away. Sounds realistic.
The homeless guy turning into a mailbox is so perfect. It perfectly sums up the YIMBY solution to homelessness
is it required to have a pocket of sugar to be in that community or am i thinking of a different place?
Shameless self plug on my song called ‘Cypress Creek’

Globe-X corp in the episode was a criminal organization at war with the government. Hank Scorpio was trying to take over part of the USA.

But does it have a nice hammock district?
Guys
so there are actual people who reproduce and vote that think 15minute cities is a conspiracy to lock us into living quarters…
I want to live on Cypress Hill …..
