Paper straws are just nasty. I do not mind using less plastic in general but not using plastic straws is one of the most stupid thing they came up with.
I heard a NWO guy saying that agriculture is the biggest polluter. Bitch, have you ever heard of the textile industry?
When do we stop using polyester in clothing? When do we start shaming women for having closets of clothes they'll never need, or insisting on buying new clothes for their kids, instead of secondhand, which they'll grow out of in a year?
How about these same reddit nerds buying walls full of plastic figurines?
Nothing they do is to help reduce pollution, it's just about subjugating you.
Yeah, paper straws are terrible. I have seen some more expensive plant fiber straws that were decent, but then you have the cost issue.
I'm sure plastic straws are less than 0.000000000001% of the plastic that ends up in the ocean. The libtards don't give a fuck about that. They don't care about solving problems. The libtard way is to inflict HIGHLY VISIBLE policies that show they are DOING SOMETHING. It doesn't matter if it works or not. It's all a virtue signal.
Libtards actually feel GOOD about shit like plastic straw bans. Whereas a normal person goes "this fucking sucks" the libtard goes "I LOVE how much this sucks! My sacrifice is going to save the planet! I'm such a fucking good person! Now let me go on r-HermanCainAward and gloat about Republicans who catch covid." The KEY to the libtard, though, is that deep down, their OWN sacrifice is not what matters, it's the fact that they are FORCING other people - "teh evil trumpers" - to sacrifice against their will, which is by far the most delicious thing to the libtard. This is why libtards never give to charity, and instead force taxpayer dollars to be wasted on their virtue signals: the key win for them is to force their hated enemies to pay for the libtard virtue signals.
The coffee chain where I live started using plastic straws for their crushed ice drinks. This sucks extra hard because I like to stir them and, surprise, paper straws suck at stirring.
One day I noticed they're selling reusable cups with plastic straws. Great. I buy one and take it in to get my drink.
I shit you not, they make the drink in the disposable plastic cup, with the bubble lid as well, pour it into my reusable cup, and toss the disposable.
You're absolutely right: none of this has to do with saving the environment, it has only to do with self-flagellation and forcing others to suffer.
I stopped eating at restaurants that switched to paper straws. Makes the drink taste like cardboard (which is weird because the cup doesn’t effect it) and it just falls apart so quickly

All of their solutions are nonsense.

The Ferengi solution is to just ban clothes for women. It's the Green New Deal.
Don't forget the chemical crap they put on their faces to hide the ugliness (even though their true ugliness is within.)
I'll believe in climate change when things women do start getting called out.
I love the "animal lover" types who still use mascara and lipstick...

Fun straw story.

I assume you meant to say PAPER straws, as that makes the rest of this make sense.
You assumed right
Every course in public policy should begin with the following lesson: policy that does not work is de facto immoral.
Also "There are no solutions; there are only trade-offs."
But that would be anti-progressive.
