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. +Tax-funded public toilets will not be the end of capitalism.
