None of the new toilets flush well. You are supposed to save water,
so instead of using 7 gallons like the older toilets, you only use 4
gallons, and after you flush twice, you use 8.
It took a 20 year college educated professional to figure this would
save water and the government was so happy to mandate this nonsense.
I bet they have reams of pages explaining all of this too....

You pee 5 times a day, you **** once in 1-2 days. It makes sense to
conserve water on those pee flushes. The slight inconvenience of
having potentially flush twice far outweights the gallons of water
wasted on those pee flushes.

Seems to make perfect sense to me.
