counterpoint boba, but people complaining about paper straws is one of the silliest things to result out of climate "action"

obviously if you are injured or medically need to use a straw ie you have parkinson's etc. you need a straw, but paper straws are not that bad and carrying around a metal straw is also not that bad if you dislike the paper straws / use straws often enough to justify a metal one

I guess I just reject the framing that it's a tangible sacrifice to stop using single use plastic stuff, which should have been common practice for years before it happened

      There's only so many private planes. A licensing system allows everyone to get a chance to hunt them, instead of just the first yahoo with enough money to buy a thousand stinger rounds.
