Authoritarian states like China hires peasant workers to do useless things like fix potholes and paint walls to keep up with appearances and preventing the masses from rebelling.
There was that Italian expat who lives in Shanghai who constantly complains on Twitter about workers painting walls, street poles and trees. He attributed it to 'muh authoritarian regime trying to create useless jobs for a collapsing economy' lol

You can simply allow the poles to rust and when that happens, the whole thing will have to be replaced, which results in greater material loss which will require a lot more man hours to fix. That will create a lot more GDP than simply painting a pole to prevent rusting.
