There’s no freedom in CA anymore. Its become a playground for the Rats and a hellhole for anyone with common sense.

Is this considered a straw argument?

I don’t understand. Wouldn’t we just take them out back and shoot them?

“We need to create awareness around the issue of one-time use plastic straws and its detrimental effects on our landfills, waterways, and oceans,”

And WE need to create awareness around your pea brain ideas.

California is killing the Plastic Straw Industry. I wonder how many jobs this will cost them?

Excuse me, I’m from the Straw Police. Can you tell me whether or not you requested that straw with your drink? What is your intended use of that straw? How will you be disposing of said straw when you have finished sucking on it?

Unbelievable. It’s finally obvious that there’s no limit on just how crazy and destructive Californication’s democrappic dictatorial ruling clique can get.

The Government will be using the straws to suck people’s brains out instead

I hope this is the straw that breaks the camel’s back.

If I still lived in an area of outlawed straws, I would always ask for extras.

“Under Calderon’s law, a waiter who serves a drink with an unrequested straw in it would face up to 6 months in jail and a fine of up to $1,000.”

But criminals in CA illegally get sanctuary and all the benefits and freebies they can handle.

These people get stupider and more insane by the day (or hour).

This worker’s paradise is criminalizing everything that doesn’t meet the party’s directives and objectives.

Apparently California lawmakers have enough time on their hands to be grasping at straws...
