Plastic Straw Bans Are the New Plastic Bag Bans || The Atlantic Cities
Unlike plastic bags or utensils, which harm the environment while actually serving a useful purpose, drinking straws have no reason to exist other than to provide a crumb of luxury to a paying customer. Nobody will suffer unduly if these plastic tubes are removed from their mouths; in fact, that would only streamline the traditional drinking method of lips-meet-liquid.
I will suffer enormously. They will pry my plastic straws from my cold, dead hands. And I might go out and purchase a giant soda to slurp via straw in defiance of those who think they can regulate joy out of existence. Bastards.
