       “In supposedly affluent Western nations, the dire state or absence of public toilets has become a universal nightmare, impacting the health and quality of life of all of us, but particularly for marginalised groups.” https://psyche.co/ideas/public-toilets-are-vanishing-and-thats-a-civic-catastrophe

       @kottke there should be a movement to redefine what it means to be a wealthy nation to be based purely on per-capita public spending

       @kottke Oh look, it's unsurprisingly  dominated by Scandinavian countries, northern #Europe and #Iceland.#Monaco at number 4 is the only southern #European county in the top 10. #Qatar is the first country south of Europe, at number 11.#Kuwait at 16 surprised me a bit, just above #France and the #USA at 18. TBH, 18 is really surprisingly high for the #US.The #UK is down at number 26, just below #Ireland. That's also surprising - I thought Ireland would be higher.https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_government_budget_per_capita
