A luxury bathroom resembling the United States Capitol Building can be found in Fuyang City, China, built in 2014 at a cost of over $100,000. In 1519 in Stelvio, Italy, a number of moles were put on trial on charges of damaging crops. They were given a defense lawyer, found guilty and sentenced to exile. In the 18th century, King Louis XVI of France wore potato flowers in his buttonhole and his wife Marie Antoinette wore them in her hair to help encourage the French lower classes to eat potatoes.

That Chinese bathroom is the opposite of our capitol building, unlike our capital, crap goes in instead of out.

So, do you suppose that toilet is a not-so-subtle poke in the American eye by our Asian friends?.I hate how hard it is to find any common household thing that is still made in America. Pick it up, made in China, put it down, pick it up, made in China, put it down…eventually buy it or do without. Thanks to all who made this scenario a reality in 21st century U.S. of A. Very sad. Surely not what the Greatest Generation fought for.
