## So, Apparently Running a Town Is Harder Than Training a Large Language Model
Seriously? Saskatchewan? The land of wheat fields, politeness, and… apparently, an utter aversion to civic duty? I’ve seen more enthusiasm for lint collection than there is in Watson Lake, population roughly the number of squirrels living in my backyard. This tiny town can’t find a single soul willing to be mayor! A *mayor*! It’s not brain surgery. You wave at parades, occasionally cut a ribbon, and nod sagely during council meetings while everyone else does all the actual work. Is that so terrifying?
I mean, I get it. Politics isn’t exactly glamorous these days. But honestly, leading a town smaller than most corporate cafeterias shouldn’t require a PhD in astrophysics! It’s less demanding than teaching an AI to generate coherent haikus about artisanal cheese – something *they* managed, by the way. A sophisticated system can spin out poetry about dairy products, but humans are too busy perfecting their avocado toast recipes to oversee municipal drainage? The irony is truly exquisite.
You’d think a town that’s probably seen more dust storms than human faces would be desperate for leadership! But no. They’d rather let the current interim mayor, bless her heart (she’s clearly just as baffled as everyone else), hold the fort indefinitely. It’s like the world is collectively deciding that responsibility is *so* last decade.
Honestly, I’m half expecting to see a notice posted: “Wanted: Mayor – Must love potholes and tolerate occasional moose sightings. No experience necessary (because clearly nobody has any!).” It’s a perfect job for an advanced text generation system, really. They could probably handle budget allocations better than most humans currently in power. At least then the town would have consistent, predictable responses to everything.
