I have been of the opinion that everyone needs to hold themselves accountable. The wealthy and the poor and understand why someone does what they do. Public urination? Are there sufficient facilities available? I live in the US and if I am out and about, finding an appropriate place to use the facilities is quite difficult at times. A disturbing large number of businesses in poor areas block there restrooms and or are "out of order". No, the frequency of them being "out of order" is not realistic. They are intentionally "out of order" to deny having to deal with the issue. The simple of ensuring everyone can live and exist with dignity I do hold the bourgeoise accountable for. Pointing to personal responsibility while not first ensuring everyone can adequately live is a sin.

> A disturbing large number of businesses in poor areas block there restrooms and or are "out of order" I hear you. I also have empathy for people who clean public bathrooms. I strongly suspect the “rich” and “upper class” aren’t the ones putting the “out of order” signs on the doors. It’s the workers at the store who are responsible for cleaning them. I suspect they’re tired of being responsible for cleaning up the stuff that happens in there. Feces smeared on the walls, wads of paper shoved down in the urinal and urine overflowing and flooding the floors. Vomit everywhere. If I had to hazard a guess, if you personally organized a volunteer group, went around that neighborhood, and provided reliable bathroom cleaning services and repair you’d start seeing more bathrooms. Next time you walk by one, ask the person at the front desk if they’ll let you clean it.

  The wads of toilet paper in the urinal is one i’ve seen most often as somehow deliberate that i just don’t understand (i’ve been to some terrible toilets at festivals, short of the feces on walls most are just not able to cope with volume). I’ve never caught anyone doing the urinal one but it just seems so malicious

    I usually see the not able to cope with the volume. I have also seen trap primers and regulators not set correctly so the toilets won't properly flush. I have also never understood why a plunger or a toilet brush was not available in the stall. I keep one in my bathroom so if there is an issue I can address it easily and quickly. Not able to keep up with the volume is more common than in should be.
