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
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.
WTAF? They never went anywhere.
Why do you hate Christmas so much?

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. 🤣
