Every week or every month each level of government throws a party funded with taxpayer dollars, and attendees are selected at random from the residents and given advance notice of the party schedule.

You don’t have to go, but unless the parties have tens of thousands attendees you’d probably have decades between invites. So it would be like, “it’s my turn for the big dope party!” Or even if it wasn’t your thing, you’d probably tell your friends “what the hell, I guess I’ll go.”

Plus imagine what innovations in party throwing will be developed with this infusion of funds into the party industrial complex!
