Lisa befriending Burns and then throwing away his money as a moral act similarly bothered me. It's peak liberalism and fetishizing poverty.
Like 12 million dollars couldn't be used to good for your family or the world? Ensuring she gets the best education she could. Hell, she could have donated the money and at least that way, it would do some good.
But no, it's noble to ignore the rules employed by the ruling class. Like what the hell?
It's narrative brainworms. Having access to powerful and refusing to use it because you personally aren't desperate enough to use it doesn't make you the hero. It makes you naive at best.
Noting is allowed to change all that much in The Simpsons, having 12 million bucks given to them in an episode but then having to completely forget about it in the next episode might have been too much to attempt.
Nah, she could've just donated to charity. Plus, Homer owns the Denver Broncos, but nobody cares.
Homer's disappointedly exasperated "Aw, the Denver Broncos?!" lives rent-free in my mind.
When's the last time Homer visited his half brother?
