They never went anywhere? They’ve been for sale around here all along.
certain states banned them. this would federally make it illegal to ban them at the state level, as far as I understand. you know, states’ rights and all
Nah, a cursory glance at the article shows it’s about reversing a push by the Biden administration to transition federal locations to using paper straws.
Last summer, the Biden administration announced an initiative to reduce single-use plastics in federal operations.
In addition to working with the private sector, other stakeholders, and state, local, Tribal, and Territorial governments to reduce the impact of plastic pollution, it planned to phase out federal procurement of single-use plastics from food service operations, events, and packaging by 2027, and from all federal operations by 2035.
sorry, was assuming this was broader than just federal. thanks for clarifying
finally some good fucking news
I hate doing coke with the paper ones.
If you’re really old school, McDonalds used to give out coffee stirrer spoons.
Bruh what is paper money for
The UK’s “paper” currency is made from a plastic polymer. A much more sterile way to do cocaine.
Buying the coke.
Money is duel use when it comes to cocaine.
Thems fightin words!
Why don’t coke dealers take Venmo?
Peanuts!
Stop posting things like this. This is part of T’s flood the space with shit strategy!
Well, I for one have now completely reversed my opinion on this whole kerfuffle we are all enjoying so much.
It was the final straw?
Not anymore. Thank you, supreme leader!
So this is what will make eggs cheaper?
Eggs being expensive is a good thing
Yes. As soon as he figures out how to turn all those paper straws people can’t use anymore into eggs. He has top people working on it. Top people.
As a non American, maybe someone can help clarify something.
My understanding is that executive orders only apply to federal agencies. So does this just mean that cafeterias in federal office buildings will need to use plastic straws? And restaurants / stores are completely unaffected by this?
Yeah basically.
Praise Trump! He’s saved America by bringing plastic straws back to the White House cafeteria!
:D
someone fucking shoot me now
And this helps me pay for groceries, how?
When a turtle chokes on a plastic straw, it will float to the surface, beach itself, and you can strap it to the roof of your car and drive it to your cottage where your family can feast on it for days.
And with the planet warming, the beach will come right to you!
Paying for groceries is woke.
that’s the neat part
Maybe you’re one of those families that buys mostly straws. The ones you see with little children huddled and sobbing around their parent who is desperately trying to hold back tears while explaining, “we can only afford 13 bags of straws this week instead of 36 because woke took away our plastic straws. And while duck calls will work just fine with biodegradable straws, they don’t have the same mouth-feel as the ones that choke sea turtles.”
This made me cry :(
executive order! very important issue
WTAF? They never went anywhere.
Why do you hate Christmas so much?
/s
It doesn’t have to make sense.
It’s obviously an appeal to the dumbasses that react to any restraint on anything almost exactly like a wayward child being told to put on their seat belt…it’s really the gist of the conservative movement and always has been, regardless of the intellectual window-dressing put on it over the years.
Speaking of Christmas, these are also the same dumbasses that thought someone was keeping them from saying Merry Christmas prior to diaper donvict getting in there, and seriously thought that Happy Holidays was some Grand Globalist Conspiracy vs. the shorthand it’s always been. Not everyone feels like saying Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, it’s a lot of words and it’s not about oppressing the poor marginalized xtians. 🤣
I’m half expecting his next executive order to be that all ocean cleanup efforts must immediately cease and that in fact dumping in the ocean is now mandatory and anyone caught trying to dispose of trash sustainably will be jailed.
Seriously, it’s gone long past the point where anyone has the slightest excuse of supporting this orange painted clown in his blonde wig and comically oversized tie without just looking like evil pieces of shit.
It’s like he’s actively making his way through a list of anything actually good that society has managed to achieve in the last few decades and dismantling it. I mean, we all hate cardboard straws but this clearly isn’t about straws.
The guy seems to literally want to see smog fill the air and plastic fill the oceans. While simultaneously making sure that everyone is as fucking miserable as possible in terms of both human rights and economy. So what the fuck is anyone’s excuse for supporting this? I don’t believe that there is anything a Trump supporter could tell me now that would convince me that they’re not just evil, cruel, profoundly stupid, walking talking pieces of shit.
he’s old and does not give a shit. it’s never going to affect him or anyone he cares about.
The. Dumbest. Timeline.
I’ve got a plastic straw in my drink right now?
Thanks, Trump.
Jesus fuck. This cunt just cut NIH’s indirect cost payout to 15%, but at least we have plastic straws. This is going to cripple hospitals, universities, and all biomedical research in the USA.
Newsflash: his mission is to destroy the United States.
Yes, we’re aware of why he’s there.
Yup. I imagine this is exactly what Putin, China, and the rich bilionaires want. I think they’re playing at something the the fall of the USSR but with more of a ‘controlled demolition’ vibe. Oh, we’ll all still get fucked while they power grab.
wow, a president is trying to bring back plastic straws that are already still here. get this guy on rushmore today…! why haven’t other presidents done things that are as great?
He makes international deals with Canada and Mexico by throwing out the deal he himself made while scorning the idiot that made it, and then threatening tariffs until he gets concessions in the form of things they were already doing. Our righteous savior, America. God help us all.
