        Well we see that coming here if we don’t fight back now. Aren’t NY De Blasio et al outlawing straws there, or was it CA. Either way, what the heck. Straw companies don’t need to go bankrupt because a group of nuts decided what we have do.

        Yes, it’s the right step. I hope all will follow because we urgently need to reduce the use of plastic.

        I love straws. I rarely drink anything without one. I bought some metal straws recently & love them!

        More ridiculous control by liberalism. #StopTheCraziness #Choice #PlasticProchoice how about liberals don’t use plastic if they’re triggered instead of banning everyone else from using it? #EUTyranny #BanEU
