Straw Bans
From iGeek
Anti-Science Straw Bans are the epitome of California's intolerance towards right-thinking humans. (Copy-catted elsewhere).

| Banning straws would reduce plastic trash in the rivers and oceans, and help save the planet. | There are only a few places that have the problem with plastic waste, and they aren't near America. The alternatives aren't greener. All they did was teach contempt for the law and lawmakers. |
Of the continents that cause Plastic Pollution in the Oceans, North America, is behind all but Australia. California is not a significant contributor to pollution, and straws are not a significant amount of plastic pollution in the first place.
| 🗒️ Note: |

| I bought a box of straws, and dumped them into the flood drain in San Jose, in hopes that they'd wash up next to one of these eco-terrorists and cause them to flip their lid. I don't generally pollute. But you get in my face, and "Fuck You" is the response. I'll single-handedly offset any benefit you were trying to bully others into. |
So what does banning plastic straws do?
- It does nothing for the problem is plastic pollution in the oceans: which is actually not a significant problem in the first place
- It annoys the vast majority; law-abiding people who throw their straws away
- It teaches contempt for the law because anyone with a clue knows it's bullying them for no reason.
Think about it. If you get people to ignore the symbolic law, because they realize how retarded it is, and the legislators who passed it? That's contempt for the law. If you enforce the laws, and piss people off, you teach them contempt for the law.
Pick your battles[edit | edit source]
Here's how leftist Californians think:
- Illegal aliens that increase crime, stress our social services and other systems, and create a two tear system with legal and sub-legal folks? We should incentivize them by giving them driver's licenses, and preventing enforcement of the law. That way we can magnify the problem, and use the problem to get votes.
- Homelessness which brings disease, crime, violence, fecal matter on the streets, and so on? California will reward them with all sorts of subsidies and aid in ways that will reward the behavior. (They will not filter out the substance abusers or mentally ill and try to make the problem better).
- The second amendment and legal gun owners? California should ignore the Constitution and harass them and fine and imprison them for silly cosmetic features.
- Using straws? We should try to go back to pre-1888 (when they were invented, or at least first patented). Because doing so would make no difference on pollution, plastic pollution, and would annoy people. That’s the point where we should fine and criminalize people.
Are you getting the point about how stupid California legislators are?
If straws were 100 times bigger problem in the U.S. than they actually are, it would still round to 0 and statistically irrelevant. So virtue signaling is not only distracting from bigger problems, it teaches contempt for the law.
