In this brief YouTube dialogue, Speaker A shares a LinkedIn post that sparked criticism on anti‑capitalist subreddits, arguing that the lack of adequate public restrooms in cities like New York and Miami could be solved by privatizing them. The proposal envisions small, dedicated restroom spaces offered through a membership subscription—akin to the exclusive Soho House model—priced around $20‑$30 per month. Speaker B reacts enthusiastically, citing the Netherlands as a benchmark for well‑designed public toilets, and imagines modern, plant‑filled, consistently clean facilities. Both speakers express strong support for the concept, highlighting both its commercial viability and aesthetic potential.

I posted this on LinkedIn and ended up on Maniacs of LinkedIn or Lunatics of LinkedIn subreddit. Yeah, people don't like it, uh, anti-capitalists don't like it. You're in New York, you're in Miami, you can't find a bathroom, right? Because the government has done such a bad job putting public restrooms. So why don't we privatize the restrooms? So basically just rent out a bunch of tiny real estate for restrooms, and then you get a membership pass to the restrooms. Like, I'm talking Soho House of restrooms. That is all I want. It would rip.
It would absolutely rip. Are you kidding me? Like, it's funny, the Dutch do this really well. Like, their public toilets are like iconic. They're just like beautiful. And I'm just imagining new wave, like, design, basically modern contemporary. And then you get in there and there's like just a fuck ton of plants and it's like always clean.
And there's, yeah, I'm, I'm so down for that. Like, people, you know what, I, I think you do it for $20 a month, $30 a month. Like, I think that's very reasonable in New York.
