Too lazy to flush the tiolet with waste water? There’s friggin water everywhere.

Sad how thin society's division of labor veneer is. So many people count on the electrician, the mechanic, the plumber, the carpenter, etc.

If only the toilet is full in this case, then the main sewers are not backed up (they just had one helluva rinse, actually!) Most likely the water supply is down due to power, and these people have no idea how a toilet works and would be amazed to see what happens if you pour a bucket of water in it!!! Or grab a shovel and go outside idiot!

These events tell me when the SHTF I won't have to work very hard to stay ahead of the 47%.

A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects. -Robert A. Heinlein

Heinlein is one of my favorite authors. My favorite books are Time Enough for Love (I think that is the book you quote from) and its sequel, To Sail Beyond the Sunset.

Have none of these people ever emptied a mop-bucket into the toilet?

That's exactly what I concluded. All those hoards of zombies coming at us from the cities? Ha! Ain't gonna happen. They can't even make it out of their apartments.
