You are a city planner. You need to schedule paper trash collection. You ask yourself: what is the optimal frequency to collect paper trash? You immediately go through the most obvious options:
- weekly
- bi-weekly
- monthly
“Boring”, the other voice in your head whispers.
“Why so orderly, so predictable? Where is the fun in that?
The lowly people whose taxes pay your wage live way too comfortably.
They need to feel a bit of misery.
They need to be reminded who is in charge!”
“We will collect paper on a monthly basis”, you proudly declare.
“But there will be no collection in May and October! For all kinds of valid reasons, of course.”
“Perfection. Just like the schedule for garbage truck.”
