Paper straws are garbage.

They taste bad, they dissolve in liquid, and they're just not as good as plastic straws.

Which is why the government seeks to ban them. Well, they'll tell us it's to 'save the turtles' or something, but they just have to make our lives a little more miserable whenever they can.

Today, President Trump put an end to Joe Biden's paper straw mandate.

Here's more from the Federalist:

The official rule finalized by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and published July 21 will end the mandate forcing every executive agency to purchase paper straws for use in all their installations across the country, including for military bases and Veterans’ Affairs (VA) facilities, according to OMB Senior Adviser Dr. Kevin Rhodes.

The new rule would require government contractors to only offer straws that “have the strength and durability of plastic,” Rhodes, the nominee for Administrator for Federal Procurement Policy, told The Federalist. That does not necessarily mean plastic, but it does mean straws that function in an equivalent way would be required.

The Biden administration intended on “phas[ing] out” the use of plastic straws and other “single-use” plastic items by 2027.

Somewhere, Greta Thunberg is crying into her keffiyeh.

This writer has a secret stash of incandescent lightbulbs.

So she gets it.

Also: toilets and shower heads.

Pretty please.

With the amount of waste produced by places like China and India, it was a meaningless gesture at best.

Make it make sense.

Sometimes, it's the little things.

You used to be able to buy those for $1.00.

The 'eco-friendly' ones are far more expensive.

They're awful.
