      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.

        Airbnb was so successful because it provides restricts 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. Someone taking a dump in an alley is a vector of disease on top of being disgusting and smelly.
