It was the key item on the agenda and was resolved with ease. Embracing change, taking a leap that would improve their quality of life. Adapting to modern times while maintaining class and style. Committing to improving the well-being of an aging profession that was struggling with generational turnover. Perhaps this would encourage the younger generation to uphold the tradition. In the hallways, it seemed there was no debate, and it was merely a matter of proceeding to a show of hands. At the last minute, a small group tried to radically change course, but the proposal was completely lacking in substance. Silence fell over the room, and everyone voted. Once the votes were counted, it was unanimously agreed: for the next fifty years, the genies would swap the lamp for a bottle of the finest brandy from Jerez.
