As the election approaches - interesting observations

All of these are not my observations, but it is a compiled list from friends.
City started getting more water than the citizens can store, let alone consume. Amount of newsworthy things in the world shrunk and naturally, that space is taken up by ads showing growth. Lawn patches across the city got fixed & streets are looking spruced up. Getting a ration card was a bit more streamlined. Many city dwellers seem to be trying to establish their residency in their home town - I wonder why. Tent businesses are booming. But then all this may be a coincidence...
