What's more dangerous floating around in the bay?

ahh another common sense is what tells you the world is flat post. If only things were as simple as the way you southern belles think.

HIV can't survive in the bay so I'm not sure what your point is there (neither are you).

The whole point of handing out single use needles is to slow the spread of HIV and hepatitis and other blood borne diseases. So there is less of it to spread around and it costs less to deal with as a public health issue. Now it is an arguable point whether that makes things better (by having less disease around for example) or worse (by having single use syringes around for example) and by how much but it requires data which is difficult to collect which is why it's an arguable point. But you can't argue it by comparing it to plastic straws. That's just ignorant.

As far as single use plastics go have you been hiking in the West lately? The dessert cactus have become the plastic shopping bag tree. Giving single use plastics to an animal as filthy as a human monkey is a bad idea, be they straws, single use shopping bags, or single use syringes.

but hands out 400,000 needles a month

Good God. Is that a legit number?

The left hates Chic fil A but love Nike and Starbucks

Less than 40% of the needles are disposed of properly. So, it’s either litter or being shared. Like socialism, I’m sure it sounded great in theory but it totally fails in execution. And it always will.

I was, recently, MIZ_"berkeley"COU, But it was in San Fran. I was so busy dodging human shite piles and needles that you and your ilk obviously seem to be such proponents of that I didn't have time to think about shopping bags on cacti.

My God you seem rather pathetic.

This is, in all seriousness, why I wear tennis shoes to the beach (I take my dog to fetch not to sunbathe). Last time I wore flip flops, I caught sight of two syringes about an inch from my toe. It’s really a shame.

This, I'd much rather swim through a few needles than straws. Like, is this even debatable?

Proposition 47 relaxed prosecution for crimes, it seems to be working, its intent was to help quality of life issues, what do you think so far.....

According to the FBI, San Francisco has the highest per-capita rate of property crimes among America's 20 most populous cities. Violent crime on the city's mass transit system has more than doubled between 2014 and 2018. According to a tracker published by the San Francisco Chronicle, an average of 66 “smash-and-grab” car thefts were reported each day in December. Many more go unreported.

That’s ironic considering how well you can put a sentence together. Reading your attempt at putting a thought together gave me headache.

Normally I wouldn’t really give a frick about grammar on the internet but you had to end your thought with that sentence. So I’m just taking this opportunity to let you know that I know that I’m better than you.
