Will the retards that implemented these plastic straw bans ever admit they were wrong?

The answer is no

Someone once told me it's impossible to look masculine while drinking through a straw and I laugh in my head all the time about it when there are straws being used.

Agave straws are better than either of them.

If Iowa wasn't an early presidential primary there would be no ethanol in gasoline. It is merely welfare for farmers and no politician with even minimal White House aspirations would dare buck the system.

So... only if you agree that the emissions released in creating them are bad for the environment. I feel like this will create a bit of a sweating over two red buttons meme for some people

Paper straws are retarded.

How come no one ever jumps doctors and dentists for all the rubber gloves? Turtles out there choking on them for sure. And every time they change rooms, new gloves. Not a peep. This doesn’t apply to nurses because of the hero thing. But those others, why are they allowed to kill the turtles? Fancy bbq dudes on tv with the black gloves, too. Same deal.

They make re-usable ones, throw them in the dishwasher, then back into the oven mitt drawer.

Trust the science. I don’t believe any of this shite.

Paper vs. plastic straws have negligible impact on the environment regardless of which one you choose. I don’t have to study it to make that conclusion.
