I have yet to see a paper straw.

Yeah, some places in NYC tried them out for a hot minute back in the day, like pre-Covid. I'm sure there are some that still have them? But I haven't seen or used a paper straw in New York, Pennsylvania, Vermont, Kansas, Missouri, Colorado, New Mexico, Kentucky, Indiana, or California in at least 2 years.

That is surprising. Impossible to find a plastic straws here, and a plastic bag costs $1.

Dude, you have repeatedly asserted that Trump was able to win in part based on “manufactured problems”. All I am doing is asking what those are. I’m not insulting you as a person or poster, just asking the question because it seems to be a recurring theme

I just gave you one. And you just ignored it. As you did the first time.

That's not true and I think you know it. I never asserted he won in part based in manufactured problems, I said he manufacturers problems so he can offer easy solutions.

And as you've shown today, it doesn't matter what I say, you think I'm wrong and you always will. You say you're a normie and moderate. That's disingenuous at best. And you know it. Just be you. Be honest. Burt is insane but at least he's authentic.

This is probably the last time I'll respond to one of your political posts. You refuse to operate in good faith and just like your right wing friends you try to turn that against me. I'm not interested in that. It's insulting and boring and it's pointless to fight against. Because you've designed a structure in which you always win.

Have a great day, warrior.

More accurate to say he manufactures problems so he can outright say “look, I fixed the problem when no one else could.”

I’m professionally downstream from a lot of this stuff. Some Federal orgs are pausing dispursements, or extending application deadlines; others are saying “everything is normal, just address DEI in your application since that’s what Congress told us to do when our program was appropriated.” I think it comes down to each agency has leeway to interpret the order, and the lay of the land, at the discretion of their leadership. We’ll see how long that lasts.

One week update: This shit is wreaking havoc on my professional and personal community. So far our household is not directly impacted but I won’t be surprised if that changes.

Im sorry trag.
