They have nothing substantial Minutiae is their mantra now.
To save the worlds oceans is the excuse I read.
They have to be. They can’t get their constituents to pick up their trash, clean up after themselves or enforce litter control.
The left hates straws because straws make it easier for you to drink something, and therefore adds convenience to your life.
You are an American, and the left feels that you do not deserve convenience because of imperialism, racism, colonization, sexism, heteronormatism, LGBTXYZism, ism-ism and more.
So annoying you is restorative social justice. Or some such bull$#!^.
I guess plastic does not quickly decompose as compared to paper straws, but the real reason is that the Progs can keep the “environment” in the news cycle.
The oceans has literally tons of downed airplanes, warships, tankers, pirate ships, and shipping containers.
BTW, straws are made from petroleum by-products, which...oil occurs naturally in the ocean.
With so many items made from plastic and packed in plastic, why, indeed? And why this sudden concern? Plastic straws have been around for eons.
To stop people blowing up Frogs ?
Because the days of rolling up a C Note to snort Cocaine are over?
That’s all that liberals have left to grasp at.
Remember when McDonalds got rid of the plastic Coffee Stirrers with the little Spoon on the end?
It had nothing to do with the Environment. LOL
Some woman read a statistic about how many plastic straws were thrown away every year.
The number being huge triggered her over-active 'hyper concern amygdala' and she screamed, 'WE HAVE TO DO SOMETHING!'
It became her duty to 'save the world' (from plastic straws).
She then convinced similar non-critical thinking idiots to also, 'save the world' (from plastic straws).
Everyone wants to save the world. Don't you want to save the world?
What better way to save the world than by forcing others to save the world for you.
Or to shoot spitballs.
RIP Zell.
They concern themselves with straws because it’s meaningless do-goodery that they can demonstrate in a public manner without having to incur a cost to themselves.
In sum, it’s a Toyota Pious without the car payment.
They hate children and want to take all the little kiddies sippy straws away from them so mom has to work even harder keeping their little clothes and hands clean. Meanies.
And they hate cows, and therefore, milkshakes, which cannot by any stretch of the imagination be sucked through a PAPER straw.
Seattle just outlawed plastic straws starting sometime in the future. We’ll see if they go through with it.
What else will they use to snort the stuff they snort? Rolled up taxpayers money?
And the ‘sippy cup’ caps on these cups are made of what?
Plastic.

they don’t want to run out of straws because that is all they have to grasp.
