Low key the cornerstone of modern civilization. Imagine a city where the streets are awash in millions of people's shit/piss, the water is heavily contaminated, and everyone is constantly getting fecal-oral diseases and cannot work or be healthy much of the time. Even when they are healthy, they might have to stay home and take care of sick family members.
