    Mark my words we are soon going to have to subscribe to our toilets. You get one flush a day for free. Save money by subscribing to the flush-lite which gives you 2 additional flushes. If you choose not to subscribe, you will be charged 2.99 for each flush beyond the first one.

      I literally have paid a toilet subscription for the past 10 years.

      Its the fee on my water bill called waste removal.

      Power is a subscription model, you want to have power at your house you pay a quarterly connection fee on top of what you use.

        Yeah, in my facetiousness, I forgot that I actually do something remarkably similar in terms of a sewer bill.

      If it’s yellow let it mellow. Is it’s brown flush it down. Possibly for $2.99. And unlock your toilet paper dispenser for just $1.99 per every 10 one-ply squares.

      Yup. The privatization of everything ends up with every moment of our existence monitored and metered and billed.

      There will also be a free tier, where you have to watch adds for a whole toilet visit in order to flush.
