Oh, great. Another work happy hour.

<p>Social events in the workplace can be great if you&#8217;re new or need a chance to network. And don&#8217;t get me wrong — you don&#8217;t want a completely bleak work environment with no play. But the &#8220;forced fun&#8221; can get old real quick. As part of our Econ Extra Credit project, this month we&#8217;re watching the Apple TV+ show &#8220;Severance,&#8221; which satirizes all that office merriment. Also on the show today: a progress report for U.S. oil producers who are trying to pump more crude to help bring fuel and energy prices down.</p>
