This is actually a legit concern for some people with handicaps. That said, the number of people that just get handed a straw as a matter of course far outnumbers the number that needs it because of handicaps. And of course carrying your own around is a thing.
It’s a fair point that some people would need a straw to drink, but I don’t think it’s entirely unfair to expect them to have a reusable straw or something in preparation. Certainly it seems more reasonable than having the remaining 99% of the population default to having a straw, especially when they probably don’t use one at home anyway.
No seriously, the amount of stupid remarks I hear coming from Europeans is insane, “Americans why do you not have healthcare, if you guys just changed your policies you would be fine, you all love guns and policies that make life a living hell.”
No dumbass, I have no control over my government and not every single American gets pissy over little things because we’re not a hive mind.
That’s like saying every Frenchman riots and is a good lover, it happens but clearly that’s not the case.
I’m talking about the straw thing he was on about. That “little thing”
And I honestly think the amount of power our vote is a joke. Between the corrupt gerrymandering politicians and the corporate lobbyists, the average person has little say in our society.
If our vote mattered my generation wouldn’t be struggling to buy food and pay rent for the past decade
I used a paper straw once, it fucking melted in my drink because paper doesn’t work well with liquids
I remember when Maccas stopped using straws in France.
They just printed on the cup - “We’ve stopped using plastic straws. To drink, remove lid. You’re not an infant”
Don’t suppose that’d work in a country of insufferable crybabies though lol
You think every American alive can’t handle drinking without a straw?

Try printing that on a cup in the US and see what happens
You sound ignorant
Lmfao the irony

I mean we do have control, we vote.
Also, having health care for all isn’t a “little thing”, it can make or break lives…
