Another time a homeless person suffering from incontinence put his soiled pants into the washer.

Would you want to use that washer afterwards?

I suppose after a good bleach cleaning. It was more a public appearance issue than a genuine sanitation issue. What do people normally put into washing machines — sparkling clean clothes?

No. Another reason to take it service out of the private sector and into the charitable sector, where, hopefully, these things can be dealt with without economic impact.

I suppose government could do it. Obama Laundromats, free for the 99% I can see it now.

Silliness aside, I do think this is a good idea if managed properly. This is why we need charitable organizations, not government.
