we live in hell
shoutout to harkening to Airbnb btw:
“Homelessness is a growing problem, and some providers worry that a homeless person may destroy or soil the bathroom,” she said. “Flush provides a way to access and provide access to a clean, reliable bathroom … Airbnb was so successful because it provides something we all need — a roof over our heads — and Flush is doing the same for bathrooms.”
yeah man, Airbnb really solved homelessness and the "having a roof over your head" problem huh
The not-so-quiet part here is "Homeless or poor people don't deserve to have their basic need of a toilet met"
They call it a "need" but proudly talk about how they're taking it away from the less fortunate.

providesrestricts behind exorbitant price-gouging for something we all need — a roof over our heads — and Flush is doing the same for bathrooms.Fixed the quote for them.

yeah and that sounds fucking awful, restrooms which are accessible to everyone should be a bare minimum aspect of all public spaces and all businesses
Bingo, it's a basic need and proper sanitation benefits everyone.
Handle them like public utilities, paid by the taxpayers and available to all. Incentivizes the local businesses by giving them some tax rebate if they open theirnto the general public. Someone taking a dump in an alley is a vector of disease on top of being disgusting and smelly.
Europe in general has been moving away from doing it for decades... yet some places have been fluctuating between "oh no, who will pay for the free restrooms!" and "oh no, who will pay to keep the streets clean!" 🤷
Can't people just hold it for 80 years until they die?
