I was just in the US and everywhere was still using plastic straws and cups anyway.
The King of the US announcing another decree after being mildly annoyed by something.
At this point, switching to plastic straws feels like such a reprieve. Can we keep him focused on little annoyances like this? Or making him hysterical that the 7-11 ran out of Cheetos?
My issue here is him just decreeing anything he wants whenever he wants and that seems to just be accepted. My guess is he’s annoyed that people are saying Musk is president so he issued a decree to remind people that he is king, but why is this being tolerated at all?
Idono what the correct solution is but paper straws apparently contain a lot of PFas and are really not good for anyone either…
Glass straws can break… And might contain PFas
Metal straws are also a safety hazard apparently… But seem to be the best choice…
Bamboo straws also contain PFas…
So… Just say no to straws?

Perhaps the solution is with the lids and not the straws?
I mean I assume you have the same issues with lids…
These people are the worst fucking scum on the goddamn planet. Petty mother fuckers to the core…
“Did a Democrat do it? Ok then reverse it.”
“But sir, this bill enures that oxygen is created so we can breathe.”
“Fuck you! A DEMOCRAT passed that, reverse it! We’ll make our own identical one and say it was our idea and oxygen never existed before us.”
That’s definitely a top priority.
It’s just more bullshit to distract from Elon Musk and his cronies destroying our democracy
Government picking winners.
This would work itself out over time. No one likes soggy straws. It’s actually caused some innovation. They have straws made from plants now that aren’t too bad.
Get out of here with your woke straws. If it isn’t guaranteed to kill a dolphin every time I take a drink I don’t want any part of it.
The pasta straws are neat. Probably cheaper/less complex to make too.
Had the check this wasn’t the onion
Fuck paper straws but it is absurd that he is pursuing an EO on them.
We should either use plant based plastics for them or just not use them at all.
Yeah, I’ve used some pretty good cellulose ones, they must cost 5% more to make though, so it’s impossible.
My only complaint on some of the ones that I have used is that when they break, they can be pretty sharp. Doesn’t really matter to me because I am an adult and don’t have a habit of cheating on straws. But I could see that being an issue for kids.
Or just don’t use straws if you don’t have a reason too. I can see when you have a fountain soda whilst on the road but not too often outside of that (yes, I am aware there are medical reasons but that is few and far between for most of us).
We should either use plant based plastics for them or just not use them at all.
I mean, no one is forcing you to use a paper straw if you’d prefer not to use one at all.
Will it make eggs cheaper?
You know the answer to that ;)
This is going to be the dude that tells americans to start feeding their plants electrolytes! Idiocracy is almost complete!
At least in idiocracy, the president appointed the smartest guy in the world to solve their problems. Instead, we got Musk.
To be honest, id probably vote for Kamacho for president too!
At this point it would be a step up.
Idiocracy is the only movie that was a satire on its release but became a documentary over time…
Im sure black mirror will have a few episodes that ring true
But Elondo’s got what plants crave!
I’d say that Elondo is toilet water, but toilet water is useful.
Paper straws to heavy to lift with those tiny baby hands?
Why? He’s a pro at sucking even without straws
That cock holster of a mouth is proof enough.
Betting Pool: Who will win? Straws or the wannabe despot? I’m putting my money on paper straws being stronger. Or is that a Straw Man argument?
Maybe he can sign an EO to make DST permanent.
Right!?
