If you find your­self un­able to con­cep­tu­al­ly un­der­stand why cap­i­tal­ism is … bad … google met­al straw.

Click for 2 hrs. So. Many. Options.

Un­der­stand met­al straws are be­ing pro­duced en mass on a scale much larg­er com­pared to what, a few months ago? Af­ter en­vi­ron­men­tal­ists able to write LAWS and get them AP­PROVED by the gov­ern­ing bod­ies of this par­tic­u­lar na­tion suc­cess­ful­ly be­gan sift­ing through par­tic­i­pat­ing restau­rants and drink es­tab­lish­ments and get­ting them to RE­MOVE plastic straws from their business. 

That sucks for the plas­tic straw com­pa­nies. I won­der if they were able to make the tran­si­tion or al­ready had fin­gers in met­al straw mak­ing pies …

I can’t even wrap my head around the meet­ings for the peo­ple at the top of the plas­tic straw mak­ing game. I’m will­ing to bet it’s all imported.

I don’t even un­der­stand why they didn’t start mass pro­duc­ing sil­i­cone straws … if sil­i­cone is anti bac­te­r­i­al but its al­ways down to cost to produce.

Oh and also, use your mouth.

Your mouth is a straw. (Only ex­cep­tion maybe is slurpees and slushies. But you can use a spoon.)

So now we have a fuck ton of tiny met­al tubes I’m will­ing to bet dol­lars to donuts will be thrown away in­stead of cleaned once they get gross. Not to men­tion lost or bro­ken etc etc. 

I was wor­ried about lit­tle plas­tic tubes. Now I’m wor­ried about met­al ones.
