RE: California is killing the Plastic Straw Industry. I wonder how many jobs this will cost them?
Doesn’t matter to them, as long as they save Planet Earth... or as long as it saves one life...

Congratulations.
There aren’t many definitions that cause me to recoil in horror, but “felching” did the trick.

I would have to make it a point to ask for 3 straws each time. One for me, and one for each of my Emotional Support monkeys.
And BTW, one of them is undocumented.

Yes, but paper straws cut down trees, killed the spotted owl, destroyed the rainforests, and created global warming (or maybe destroyed the ozone layer, I forget which...).

Does anyone not realize that libs want to control every tiny part of your life?

"repetitive sucking may cause or exacerbate wrinkles on the lips or around the mouth." That explains why a fresh young fruit so quickly turns into a wrinkled old vegetable.

"We need to create awareness around the issue of one-time use plastic... Does this mean no more plastic knives and forks at LAX and SFO, or at baseball and football stadiums? I guess the difference is that the server isn't handing them one, they are in bins waiting for anyone to walk by and grab one.

In kindergarten, I kept my paper straw from one day so that I could be cool the next day and have 2 straws in my carton of milk. Wouldn’t you know it, the bratty girl sitting next to me tattled to the teacher, “Mrs. Smith, Bobby took 2 straws!”
I think she moved to California and is now in politics.

Americans use 500 million plastic straws a dayNow wait a minute. There are only 325 million people in the US. So, so one and half times the entire population uses a straw EVERY SINGLE DAY?? I haven't used a straw in months. Who's been sucking up my straw use?

Does that mean the waiter has to gain affirmative consent to offer a straw in a drink?

Obviously, your SSN (social straw number) has been stolen and is being traded on the dark interwebs ....

But criminals in CA illegally get sanctuary and all the benefits and freebies they can handle.
They’ve gone beyond that, spreading incentives to the general populace. Since 2014, miscreants can shoplift up to $950 worth of stuff and only be charged with a misdemeanor.

Why not just charge $1000.00 per straw? That would stop those evil straw users! It's not the user being jailed, it's the waiter pushing straws who's in danger.
Pretty soon, kids will be dealing straws in the schoolyard.

the straw would become flaccid and useless before you finished.

I was going to respond to this but I figured it was such a high, hanging curve that you are a mod trying to suck someone in....

OK Folks, joking aside.... Just because it was “introduced” doesn’t mean it will get passed.
Is it too much for someone like me to hope that the California legislature will have enough common sense to REJECT this?
