@@ -11,6 +11,6 @@ I've heard pay toilets being touted as a solution to the shortage of free public
Some people worry that having tax-funded public toilets is a [slippery slope](https://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slippery_slope) that leads to either socializing all basic needs or the end of private business. It would be a good thing if the former were true, but clearly neither are. The U.S. has free public toilets, yet even healthcare is a for-profit business. Europe has a much better social safety net than the U.S., but it has more paid toilets. There doesn't seem to be any correlation.
-Tax-funded public toilets will not be the end of capitalism. Neither will having socialized healthcare, food and housing programs, etc. We're not talking about giving everyone free weed. But in a civilized society, nobody should have to worry about meeting their basic biological needs. In a civilized society, "hitting rock bottom" shouldn't mean shitting on the street, dying of Covid because you can't afford treatment, or getting harassed by [thugs](/glossary/#thug) because a park bench is the only place you have to sleep.

We're better than that. At least I'd like to think so.
