That will surely bring down the price of eggs.
If I’m not mistaken he already started a fight against windmills. Paper straws must be an ally of that great enemy.
TBH, paper straws suck. And not because they fall apart, which is annoying but not the end of the world… But because they’re full of PFAS… Yeah, not fucking great.

I’ve never understood why we need straws. I get it for a milkshake but I don’t understand why a restaurant gives me a glass with a straw in it. Do people use straws at home?
There’s a few things, like you said some things truly do require a straw like a milkshake, or slushies, tbf they are “fun” even if that’s not a great reason, but I think the real reason people got hooked on them is drive throughs, they are undoubtedly much easier when you are driving.
I can’t imagine normal plastic straws great for microplastics
I think a much more helpful replacement would be replacing the plastic tops with recycled paper tops.
Agave fiber straws. Literally just like a plastic straw, no PFAs but I’m sure there some reason I’m not supposed to use them.
He’s just going right down the facebook boomer wishlist isn’t he? Wonder when he’s going to sign off an EO banning participation trophies.
Nooooo, mi cheap gewgaw
He can’t even drink water with one hand, my money’s on the straws.
Paper straws are terrible. I feel like there should be more pressing things for the president to deal with than banning them though…
This. There also are soooo many solutions to this “problem”. I saw both reusable metal straws as well as single-use ones out of very, very hard pasta (fittingly in an italian restaurant). Got the latter with a coke (so lots of acid), it didn’t change the taste of the coke in any way even after about 50 minutes of it standing around.
All those boomer fools crying over their plastic straws are either utterly dense or, more likely, full of propaganda bull.
The canteen at the Costco near me just got rid of straws entirely and uses lids made to drink directly from. Seems like an obvious solution to something that’s barely a problem.
Straws do have their place of course; a common argument for them are seniors or those suffering from illness or disabilities. Pointing to metal and pasta straws is important to debunk the nonsense “but think about the…!” argument those crazy fools commonly use.
Of course 90% of people can just use something else like those lids, yeah.
Real problems finally solved. ✅
I mean… It kind of is. I’m pretty happy. I’m the dystopia we live in got take the small wins
For years my reaction to this has always been the same. Who uses straws?
i use them pretty much exclusively but i have a collection of glass ones i reuse. i have a weird thing about drinking from an open cup so i always have a lid/straw.
I have collapsible metal ones… I bet yours clog way less when you’re drinking a thick smoothie, mine can be terrible. Are yours dishwasher safe?
you can get wider ones but mine are standard so they would clog probably, i got my first set here and they have extra wide ones. but now i just grab a set if i see them at Aldi or Ross.
they are dishwasher safe :)
People who buy fast food.
Ya ever go through a drive through?
Maybe we are playing this wrong when dealing with trumps troglodyte personal greivance focus. Lets tell him Kamala Harris really likes her handgun and practices all the time --and Trump will outlaw handguns and gun ranges.
Biden spent a lot of years being “personally against” reproductive rights too, lets ask Trump what he thinks of that.
maybe this is as simple as using the kind of logic you’d normally use in dealing with an angry todler.
Doesn’t Don Jr. use rolled up hundreds?
Not for drinking. That’s for … something else.
