There used to be 50,000 pay toilets in cities across America until a group of college students in 1970 decided it wasn't fair to have to pay for a natural bodily function and successfully lobbied to get them banned.

Now you can't find public toilets in many US cities and if you want to use a restroom you'll need to use one inside a business that, you guessed it, will require you to be a paying customer.

Capitalism always seems to find a way.

We have free public toilets across New Zealand. Part is we don’t have the homeless problem as the US has. The other counter to this narrative is that there are lots of pay public toilets in the US, I know Portland and San Francisco have paid public toilets today.
