1. No more need for toilets. With today's housing prices, the sqm price of an apartment has reached exorbitant levels. Currently, toilets take chunk of that space. They use a lot of water too.

  2. No more need to leave your bedroom to take a crap, wasting precious time that you could be using to contribute to the economy (or gaming). In that sense, it's kinda like ordering food instead of making it yourself.

  3. Street cleaner demand would explode, further helping the struggling economy. There would be a massive demand for street cleaners to wash away all the thrown out feces. You might think hiring a bunch of extra cleaners would be a burden, but it would surely be offset by the reduced load on sewage treatment plants from people not having toilets to flush.

      Oh what's more important to you; the Economy or your subjective opinion about what "stinks"? Pecunia non olet, as the Romans say.
