"We need the cellphone of sanitation..."Toilets are taboo,, THAT, just about says it all.
"We need the cellphone of sanitation..."“toilets “
Hey hey hey!!! Watch that nasty language. I have a picture of my kids that can see this.
Well, Bill & Melida, how ‘bout you take a spare billion and buy some toilets. I figure with a quantity discount you could probably get 7-8 million toilets. Distributing those would then keep you busy enough so you wouldn’t have time to be hectoring the rest of us.
Cue the OWS toilet run on the sidewalk video, to show how it’s not taboo here, AND that the White Hut approves.
This country was built using outhouses.
Why can’t they make outhouses anymore?............
“Johnny on the Spot.”
so how is this our problem? and why do i get the nagging suspicion tht the end result would be a large transfer of funds from the american taxpayer, to the despots in the affected countries?
Before the China PROlympics, we were shown all about their poor sanitation, etc. which ALL GOT BETTER in time for the PROlympics.
Just schedule the PROlympics in these O-hole third world countries, and problem solved!
Just call them “government relief centers” and problem solved.
What strikes me about the Gates Foundation is that for a guy who made his fortune selling software into the free market, all the programs I hear about are hardware related (toilets, polio shots, birth control devices) rather than software related (free capital markets, private property ownership, clear title registration and enforcement, adjudication systems , non-corrupt political systems, good government programs, western based religious institutions, etc). Eradication of poverty is built on social software, not hardware.
The reason most municipalities are uninterested in creating public toilets is that they generally become havens for the homeless, homosexuality, prostitution and intravenous drug use.
