Priorities, am I right?

Honestly the whole straw debate has always immensely pissed me off. It's one of the biggest examples of a first world problem. It's not like cups and glasses stop working when you don't have a straw. They're honestly the most pointless disposable utensil there is.
- Have you seen that idiot try to drink from a cup? A straw is a necessity for him
- A quibble: they're extremely useful for some disabled people. Generally, yeah, they're a giant waste for the general public though.
  
  i guess then it wouldnt count as a firstworld problem, idk... thoughts?
Was the Biden order not using compostable plastic? It’s essentially the same as single use plastic, but it’s better for the environment. This is wild.
