Actually used one this weekend and not a big deal ..... even kind of cute with red and white stripes. Most of them fall apart and change taste as they dissolve, no one cares what straws are actually made out of they just don’t want an inferior product. If more effort was put into making a better straw instead of legislating straws people would be more than happy to adapt. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If more effort was put into making a better straw instead of legislating straws people would be more than happy to adapt. maybe you should just bring a sippy cup the free market is not infallible. While I believe there needs to be a balance, legislation in the past has been a great benefit to society at times. Child labor laws, laws against slavery, heck even laws requiring car companies to put in seat belts. I believe you just had a post saying you wanted to live within an HOA. That's like the complete opposite of freedom. Everything in your community is legislated from how high you can grow your grass to what color you can paint your house. I find it funny when people get their panties in a bunch over such stupid things as plastic straws. lol when both sides of the aisle let tech companies collect all sorts of data on us or the military industrial complex wants to keep a never ending war going. we stand around and complain about plastic straws and face masks. lol Edited September 14, 2021 by Bull94 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Use a sippy cup. Edit: Sorry Bulls94. Replied to his post and saw your comment after I replied. Edited September 14, 2021 by CousinRicky 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes but in a normal environment with a sitting president I'd say the chances of will coming out swinging with this comment is much closer to zero. With that being vacant I am speculating that the vacuum leaves room for power players to put this on the table as a signal that: you need to be on board.

I would think that the board would be dictating these things. Basically, I’m saying that it would make sense if the President of the University would be more cautious around the board instead of vice-versa. But again, that’s fair if your speculation is accurate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
