I wonder what is the GDP cost of millions if not billions of people flushing the toilet every day, often multiple times a day.

We can all make silly arguments, just because something requires you to take action, and it might cost money, doesn't mean we therefore have to just let late stage capitalism run wild.

If we didn't flush toilets but all of a sudden because of some law (directly or indirectly), we started flushing toilets; we should be concerned about it. But that's clearly not the case here and your analogy doesn't hold up.

A better analogy was if you were forced to use the toilet every time you entered a store you haven't been to previously... Just why in the world would I need to take part in such a wasteful charade.
