Don’t Let The Sun Go Down On Me
In an effort to address a budget shortfall, your Minister for Creative Solutions has proposed to cut expenditure by switching off a number of street lights throughout NATIONSNAME.
I’ve encountered with many choices
1. Jake Broadside, your Minister for Creative Solutions explains their position. “Let’s face facts, in the current economic climate we need to be sensible with our CURRENCY. Those street lights don’t run on thin air you know – and what with the cost of electricity soaring, what other choice do we have? We’re not talking about a total blackout across NATIONSNAME, just switching off the lighting along some of those less important roads and well… perhaps the ones that don’t contribute so much to society.”
2. A protesting, middle-aged, overweight female resident, sporting an unflattering dress and far too much makeup, demands your attention. “Do you expect a young, single, and needless-to-say attractive female like myself to walk the streets IN THE DARK!? Oh how all the unsavory characters across NATIONSNAME would just love that! Stop pandering to this madness and keep the streets lit whatever the cost!
3. Wild-eyed, eccentric gentleman Paddy Moore begs your attention whilst enthusiastically polishing his monocle. “This is fantastic news, but doesn’t go far enough – let’s get rid of ALL those blasted monstrosities for good! Do you realise how difficult it is to spot the rotation of Alderaan’s second moon through all that ghastly light pollution? Of course there will be a few wimps who are scared of the dark – but that’s what candles were invented for!”
4. “You’re looking at this entirely the wrong way, dear Leader,” interjects Zeke Rubin from Helios I Energy Corp. “If there’s anything NATIONSNAME needs, it’s more light, not less! It’s been scientifically proven that more light means a happier, healthier population, reduces crime, and there’s no need to worry about the night shift any more – you can work from dawn until, well, forever!”
