- The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) wants hotels to monitor how much time its guests spend in the shower. The agency is spending $15,000 to create a wireless system that will track how much water a hotel guest uses to get them to “modify their behavior.”
“Hotels consume a significant amount of water in the U.S. and around the world,” an EPA grant to the University of Tulsa reads. “Most hotels do not monitor individual guest water usage and as a result, millions of gallons of potable water are wasted every year by hotel guests.” -

Just set them up like the condo in Steamboat Springs I stayed in with some friends. The hot water heater supplied about 10 minutes of continuous hot water. If your shower went over that it got very cold.
it will not stop with Hotels!! It needs to stop....before it is forced into Hotels
They had one of those at a laundromat in Circle, Montana in the ‘70s. The shower worked great. The drain, not so much...
In little Tusayan, Arizona (gateway to the Grand Canyon), ALL water is trucked in....the faucets and showers all have timer-thingies that shut ‘em off fairly quickly.
they assume.....that we are all naive zombies.
ahaha an extra ten bucks....for a functional drain...
I see a unmarked semi loaded with slugs...headed to Disneyland
They will not stop until they control EVERY aspect of your life.
The precursor to “no one may buy or sell without the mark”.
IIRC, Maurice, Algore, and a few others stood to make trillions from the cap-and-trade scheme on the Carbon Credit exchanges. I’m glad that hasn’t panned out for them...
Wasn’t it these jerks pushed for “water saver” shower nozzles?
I believe it was yes...
and 12 dollar curly flourescant lightbulbs

They will soon mandate that the OLD...Low flow toilets... are to replaced with coin operated crappers
So, I go to the bathroom in the airport. What is the story on the sinks in airport bathrooms, that they will not give us a twist-it-on, twist-it-off, human-style faucet? Is that too risky for the general population? Too dangerous? We gotta install the one-handed, spring-loaded, pain-in-the-ass Alcatraz-style faucet? You know, those ones you gotta go "hey I got a little water there...hey I got a couple of drops."What is it they think we would do with a faucet? Turn them all on full, run out into the parking lot laughing, pushing each other into the bushes?
"Come on, the water's on, let's go! I turned it on FULL BLAST."
"You idiot! We're businessmen, we're gonna miss our plane."
"Who cares? Water!"That's how they think we're gonna act.

I sense that plunging will indeed be necessary!
Then it is time for a couple of bags in a box and a drop and ship...If you have to pay, anyway...
STOP giving them ideas!
F**k the nanny state!!
They are right about 47% of the population.
One more reason to stock up now!
we should claim that hand contact with those inane faucets increases the likelihood of collecting germs...
Indeed they are INDEED they are.
... based upon their income of course.
