ON AND OFF SWITCH.

It would be really great if there was an on-and-off switch to a city that I could access right in front of me, just like the on-and-off switch to the lights in my room or like the knob of the reading light on my bed post. New York is known as the city that never sleeps, but if we’re gonna compare it to a human anyway, it’s important to note that human beings can’t live or function without sleep. In fact, anyone who doesn’t sleep is at risk of dying of exhaustion.  Maybe that’s why there’s not a lot of nature around here --- maybe parts of the city just died of exhaustion. If there was an off switch I think just in the 5 minutes of being off, the world would save something like 100 billion katrillion killowatts of energy which could then be used to power other stuff – like hospital rooms in Mali. Also, if there was an off switch then maybe the stars would shine again and people could make wishes on shooting ones.
