I'm convinced paper straws are a psy-op by the plastics industry to make us hate environmentalists.

Or 4D chess by the environmentalists so we go without straws entirely

Classic replacement of something good with something terrible so customers opt out

No it's to punish us when it isn't us causing the alleged plastic problem. When the orders went out all the western media took holidays to the far east to film garbage filled rivers in india, the philippines, indonesia. Your disposable plastic straw wasn't ending up there. Your plastic bottle might have been but that's only because of the recycling scam. It should have been burned like the oil it is.
