Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community - View Single Post - DC Metro Unveils Its First Automatic Toilet

So it costs as much as a house, is highly complicated meaning it will probably break often and be expensive to repair, exposes its users if they take longer than 10 minutes, and leaves the toilet seat nice and wet.

Sounds like yet another example of idiot politicians getting together and figuring out the most flagrant way to piss away taxpayer money.

On a related note, I read that the USPS was considering buying Segway scooters for mailmen. PLEASE tell me nothing ever became of that.

EDIT: Oh my god. That $109k is just for a LEASE. They could open their EXISTING bathrooms to the public, hire a staff of 3 janitors at 30k/year each dedicated solely to keeping those bathrooms clean, and STILL come out ahead.
