More like, who in the hell is feeding this guy. If anyone regularly has to flush their toilet more than once per "sitting", get your ass to a doctor. And maybe start eating real food for a change.

(Sorry for all the puns lol...I swear they (mostly) weren't intentional)

. . . . .
My pet peeve is the focus on "fuel efficiency" (CAFE) that banned the station wagon, yet spawned the bigger SUV gas guzzler. The regulations should have focused on passenger-miles per gallon, and thus permitted larger capacity vehicles.
(A single occupant 50 mpg vehicle is less efficient than a nine occupant 10 mpg vehicle. 50 passenger-miles / gallon versus 90 passenger-miles / gallon.)
. . . . .
Frankly, I think that all meddling by government should cease. But politicians love wealth and power, and there's nothing like regulating everyone else's life under glorious socialism.
It REALLY is the government`s job to regulate water usage when the Colorado river that supports 16 million jobs is running dry.

Also when the government pays for the massive infrastructure that delivers the water.

Or wastewater treatment costs in all states. Where I live, we pay more for sewer treatment than we do for the water. But IDK if this is a federal issue. States and municipalities have water conservation laws and building codes all require low water use toilets. They work well and are preferred by consumers. No manufacturer is going to go back to one of those old toilets.

Default “people are flushing toilets 10 times, 15 times”

Trump orders review of EPA water rules becausepeople are flushing toilets 10 times, 15 times

Is this man ok in the head?

Maybe Trump is referring to the tenants in his slumhole real estate properties or perhaps his supporters in their trailer parks

It is because the "water saver" toilets don't flush good.
