    So, your suggestion is to continue to kill the planet, because we might inconvenience a small subset of the population? I get it, I really do, it’s not fair for them, but those people can carry reusables if they need a straw.

      So your suggestion is to let disabled people die because you can’t be bothered to fight the actual problem and just want a feel-good campaign to take part in and to feel superior to others with?
      At least be honest…

        No, as I have said in MULTIPLE other comments. Straws exist in other flavors than plastic or disposable. Non disposables also come in a variety of shapes. People can use those. Where did I say they shouldn’t have something they need.

        Like I also said in another comment, people who “need” straws now all just died of dehydration before plastic/disposable straws existed?

          I mean, people kind of did. That is how accessibility works. It reduces the burden on caregivers and makes it easier to live a somewhat normal life
