They didn’t go anywhere. You can get them. The Woke Police aren’t going to glitter your door down and trans you. Buy all the plastic straws you want.
We don't have to. The straws will do all the heavy lifting for us. /s
It's insidious stuff, those PFAS. :3
Not with that attitude.
People who complain about straws are like comedians who vomplain that they can't say anything anymore without being cancelled
And seventy some million voters suddenly forgot this was true as soon as they read about this great achievement from their God-king.
I'm picturing donvict hunched over each and every one of these dumbasses, rawdogging them w/ no lube because he'll be stealing all their benefits, putting them out of a job, putting them out on the street, deporting them, imprisoning them, quite possibly killing many of them with his policies, and then he says, mid-pump, "here, have a straw! I brought them back for you!"
Speak for yourself.
I am all The Woke Police on this blessed day :)
It's like he's going through every stupid fox and friends 'controversy' and just tries to 'fix' it. I think the closest anyone got to banning plastic straws is specific city ordinances in certain cities, and only for establishments that serve drinks.
Okay, but what will they do this for? Asking for a friend...
Deadnaming, obviously
Thank you! I thought I was crazy
