We've all been there, running around the city, looking for a bathroom, but unable to find one.
Hello!
Do you have a restroom we could use?
A very simple free market solution is that we could just pay to use a bathroom, but we can't.

A federal court has blocked President Trump's sweeping tariffs.
NPR's Scott Horsley reports the U.S.
Court of International Trade says Trump overstepped his authority by taxing imports from nearly every other country.
In a unanimous ruling,
the three-judge panel said the Constitution gives Congress the exclusive power to regulate trade and impose tariffs.
The court says the 1977 emergency law Trump relied on in ordering tariffs does not give the president unbounded power to tax imports from nearly every other country.
If that ruling stands, it would strike down all the tariffs that Trump ordered on April 2nd,
as well as separate taxes on imports from China, Canada,
and Mexico, some of which have been temporarily suspended.
The tariffs were challenged by a dozen states and five businesses.
The three judges who ruled against the president were appointed by Presidents Reagan,
Obama, and Trump himself.
