The One Place That Hasn T Been Corrupted By Capitalism

Okay, folks, let's be real. Everything seems to have a price tag these days. From bottled water to breathing (just kidding… mostly!).

But is there *anywhere* left that hasn't been touched by the greasy fingers of capitalism?

Prepare for a Controversial Opinion!

I'm about to drop a truth bomb. A truth bomb so spicy, it might require a glass of milk. Ready?

The one place untouched by capitalism... is the glorious, magnificent... the bathroom!

Hold on, Hear Me Out!

I know, I know. You’re thinking, "But what about toilet paper? And fancy soaps?" Yes, *buying* those things involves money.

But the *act* of using the facilities? Pure, unadulterated freedom! Free from market forces!

Think about it. No one is charging you per flush. No one is demanding a subscription for urination access. Thank goodness.

Imagine the horror. "Pay-per-pee: only $2.99! Or upgrade to the VIP package for scented air freshener!" I shudder at the thought.

You might argue that public restrooms are funded by taxes (which, yes, is related to the economy). But taxes also fund roads. Are we going to say driving isn't free?

And even then, think of the home bathroom! Your personal porcelain throne. A sanctuary!

The Bathroom: A Capitalist-Free Zone (Mostly)

Within those four walls, you are the CEO of your own digestive empire. You make the rules (within reason, please keep it clean).

Capitalism thrives on productivity. On generating value. The bathroom? It's about *releasing* value. The opposite!

It's a place of reflection (sometimes literally). A place where even the wealthiest CEO and the struggling artist are equals.

We all, shall we say, "answer the call of nature." No one is immune. No one is excluded. Isn't that beautiful?

Of course, the bathroom industry is booming. Fancy bidets and smart toilets are trying to sneak capitalism in there.

But the core function remains untainted. Untouched. Pure.

Disclaimer Time!

Okay, okay. I'm being a little facetious. I am exaggerating slightly for comedic effect. Don't @ me!

Capitalism definitely impacts bathroom design, products, and accessibility. And cleanliness (or lack thereof) can be a huge social issue.

However! As a *concept* and a *necessary human function*, the humble bathroom provides a small, stinky (sometimes), but vital respite from the constant demands of the market.

Final Thoughts (While Sitting on My Throne)

So next time you're in the loo, take a moment. Breathe deeply. And appreciate this tiny corner of the world that, for now, remains gloriously, stubbornly, and thankfully… relatively free.

Unless you're at an airport. Then forget everything I said.
