They strain at a gnat and swallow a beam.
We had little paper straws in the school cafeteria. When I was in third grade they eliminated straws (to save money) and forks (for safety). I still remember our teacher being appalled that we were going to be crudely drinking straight from the little milk cartons. Looking back it did remove an element of civility and manners.
The lack of forks was harder. We ate everything with just a spoon-chicken, ham, spaghetti, etc. A challenge we endured for the remainder of our school days. We were a small school in a farming community-no delinquents looking to use forks as a weapon. Another adult theorized that the cooks just wanted to cut back on dishes.
"....??...it must have rained the day they pass the law in regards to feminine napkins..I missed it"
Environmentalists are determined to make our lives as inconvenient as possible. Screw them.
Two straws per day for every man, woman, and child in the country is a conservative estimate??? That’s ridiculous.
“detrimental effects on our landfills, waterways, and oceans”
And where do condoms go? (the used ones)
As usual too many reports like this particularly from the Califronia press neglect to inform the piblic refrain from reporting when reporting on legislation the person who introduces the bill and what district they are from and the final vote; party by party.
When straws are outlawed, only outlaws will have straws.
Paper straws!!?? Just think of all those trees they chopped down!
Oh crap. I hope they don’t see this post.
“This bill is not banning toilet paper, but the limit on eight squares per day is a visible reminder that our forests are precious and .....”
Condoms?
Didn’t you read the news. They are making condoms out of paper now. so you have to ask your date if she wants paper or plastic.
According the just-in report, possibly six months in prison for serving coffee.
I'm predicted a burgeoning Ted Bundy. Ted was originally from Burlington, VT, before moving West...
You have to ask them if they want a straw. You have to ask them if they want water. You have to ask them if they want food. It will take ten minutes just to get your order started.
Absolutely mindless. Nothing escapes the lefties in their bid to outdo each other in the loony bin department.
I bet the commie Ruskies and Nazi’s never had laws this insane.
Some people have WAY too much time on their hands.
FWIW, I haven’t used a straw in decades.
Go back to the old wound paper straws. Tear the end off the packing and you could blow the wrapper clear across the room! Then came the plastic straw and ruined the fun. Too much friction between the straw and wrapper.
One use plastic straws are destroying the World ,yep another Nutball Politician
The irony is that “Communist” Vietnam is freer than California.
